SMC3 knockdown triggers genomic instability and p53-dependent apoptosis in human and zebrafish cells.
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The structural maintenance of chromosome 3 (SMC3) protein is a constituent of a number of nuclear multimeric protein complexes that are involved in DNA recombination and repair in addition to chromosomal segregation. Overexpression of SMC3 activates a tumorigenic cascade through which mammalian cells acquire a transformed phenotype. This has led us to examine in depth how SMC3 level affects cell...
