Description

BACKGROUND Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins fulfill pivotal roles in chromosome dynamics. In somatic cells, the heterodimeric Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins are involved in chromosome condensation and gene dosage compensation (SMC2 and 4), and sister chromatid cohesion and DNA recombination (SMC1 and 3). It was demonstrated that mammalian SMC1 and SMC3 proteins are also involved in meiosis.1  SMC1 and SMC3 proteins are important components of the cohesin complex, necessaryfor meiotic sister chromatid cohesion and DNA recombination .  Mitotic chromosome segregation is facilitated by the cohesin complex, which maintains physical connections between sister chromatids until anaphase. Meiotic cell division is considerably more complex, as cohesion must be released sequentially to facilitate orderly segregation of chromosomes at both meiosis I and meiosis II. This necessitates meiosis-specific cohesin components; recent studies in rodents suggest that these influence chromosome behavior during both cell division and meiotic prophase. SMC1 is likely involved in maintaining cohesion between sister centromeres until anaphase II.2 In addition, it was also demonstrated that SMC1 is a component of the DNA damage response network that functions as an effector in the ATM/NBS1-dependent S-phase checkpoint pathway.3
