Description of YOL034W: Component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex; this complex plays a key role in the removal of X-shaped DNA structures that arise between sister chromatids during DNA replication and repair; binds single-stranded DNA and has ATPase activity; S. pombe homolog forms a heterodimer with S. pombe Rad18p that is involved in DNA repair[1][2][3][4][5]

Smc5 is one of the two SMC proteins that forms the core of the Smc5-Smc6 complex. The Smc5-Smc6 complex is, together with cohesin and condensin, one of the three essential eukaryotic SMC complexes. The complex has six non-Smc subunits, named Nse1, Nse2, Nse3, Nse4, Nse5 and Nse6. The Smc5-Smc6 complex has been shown to have a role in DNA repair, as well as an essential function. Smc5-Smc6 participates in an undefined step of homologous recombination [6] and it is recruited to DNA double strand breaks to promote sister chromatid recombination [7]. The essential function of the Smc5-Smc6 complex is most probably related to chromosome segregation. The Smc5-Smc6 complex binds to the ribosomal DNA array (rDNA) [8] and smc5-smc6 thermosensitive mutants fail to segregate the rDNA when grown at the restrictive temperature [9] [10]
