Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) proteins are crucial for the formation of three essential complexes involved in high fidelity chromosome transmission during cell division. Recently, the Smc5/6 complex has been reported to be important for telomere maintenance in yeast and also in cancerous human ALT cells, where it could function in a homologous recombination-based (HR) telomere...
