Abstract excerpt
The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes complex 5/6 (SMC-5/6) safeguards genome stability by coordinating DNA replication, repair, and chromosome organization. Although prior studies have advanced understanding of SMC-6, a domain-resolved view of its functions in vivo, particularly in multicellular organisms, remains incomplete. Because the non-SMC subunit NSE-1 localizes at the SMC-5/6 head interface and...
