RESUMO

The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are generally present as single proteins in bacteria, and as at least six distinct proteins in eukaryotes. They function together with other proteins in a range of chromosomal transactions, including chromosome condensation, sister-chromatid cohesion, recombination, DNA repair and epigenetic silencing of gene expression.
