Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes protein 1: Role in Genome Stability and Tumorigenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
SMC1 (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes protein 1), well known as one of the SMC superfamily members, has been explored to function in many activities including chromosome dynamics, cell cycle checkpoint, DNA damage repair and genome stability. Upon being properly assembled as part of cohesin, SMC1 can be phosphorylated by ATM and mediate downstream DNA damage repair after ionizing irradiation. Abnormal gene expression or mutation of SMC1 can cause defect in the DNA damage repair pathway, which has been strongly associated with tumorigenesis. Here we focus to discuss SMC1's role in genome stability maintenance and tumorigenesis. Deciphering the underlying molecular mechanism can provide insight into novel strategies for cancer treatment.

متن کاملThe Smc5/6 complex: more than repair?
Through its functions in chromosome replication, segregation, and repair, the Smc5/6 complex has a central role in the maintenance of genome stability. The complex is part of the family of structural maintenance of chromosome protein complexes that also includes cohesin and condensin. Mutations in any of these complexes disrupt chromosome segregation and render cells hypersensitive to different...
متن کاملIs PCNA unloading the central function of the Elg1/ATAD5 replication factor C-like complex?
Maintaining genome stability is crucial for all cells. The budding yeast Elg1 protein, the major subunit of a replication factor C-like complex, is important for genome stability, since cells lacking Elg1 exhibit increased recombination and chromosomal rearrangements. This genome maintenance function of Elg1 seems to be conserved in higher eukaryotes, since removal of the human Elg1 homolog, en...
متن کاملI-44: Mutagenesis during Embryogenesis
We developed several novel tools to genome wide screen for CNVs and SNPs in single cells. When applied to cleavage stage embryos from young fertile couples we discovered, unexpectedly, an extremely high incidence of chromosomal instability, a hallmark of tumorigenesis (Vanneste et al., Nature Medicine, 2009; Vanneste et al., Hum.Reprod., 2011). Not only mosaicisms for whole chromosome aneuploid...
