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 [4] and it is recruited to DNA double strand breaks to promote sister chromatid recombination [5]. The essential function of the Smc5-Smc6 complex is most probably related to chromosome segregation. The ribosomal DNA array (rDNA) appears to be the most affected locus, and smc5-smc6 thermosensitive mutants fail to segregate the rDNA when grown at the restrictive temperature [6] [7]
