SMC5-SMC6 complex

Function

• role in repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination
• may promote sister chromatid homologous recombination by recruiting the SMC1-SMC3 cohesin complex to double-strand breaks

Structure

• subunits: SMC5, SMC6, NSMCE2/MMS21 & probably NSMCE1

More general terms

• molecular complex
