== Function ==
'''Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3''' (SMC3) is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the '''SMC3''' [[gene]].<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SMC3 structural maintenance of chromosomes 3| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=9126}}</ref> SMC3 is a subunit of the [[Cohesin]] complex which mediates [[Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion|sister chromatid cohesion]], homologous recombination and [[Topologically associating domain|DNA looping]]. Cohesin is formed of SMC3, [[SMC1A|SMC1]], [[RAD21]] and either [[STAG1|SA1]] or [[STAG2|SA2]]. In humans, SMC3 is present in all cohesin complexes whereas there are multiple [[Sequence homology|paralogs]] for the other subunits.


SMC3 is a member of the [[SMC protein|SMC protein family]]. Members of this family are key regulators of DNA repair, chromosome condensation and chromosome segregation.
This [[gene]] belongs to the SMC3 subfamily of SMC proteins. The encoded protein occurs in certain cell types as either an intracellular, nuclear protein or a secreted protein. The nuclear form, known as structural maintenance of chromosomes 3, is a component of the multimeric cohesin complex that holds together sister chromatids during mitosis, enabling proper chromosome segregation. Post-translational modification of the encoded protein by the addition of chondroitin sulfate chains gives rise to the secreted proteoglycan bamacan, an abundant basement membrane protein.<ref name="entrez" />

The domain organisation of SMC proteins is evolutionarily conserved and is composed of an N-terminal [[Walker motifs|Walker A motif]], coiled-coil, "hinge", coiled-coil and a C-terminal [[Walker motifs|Walker B motif]]. The protein folds back on itself to form a rod-shaped molecule with a heterodimerisation "hinge" domain at one end and an [[ATP-binding cassette transporter|ABC-type ATPase]] "head" at the other. These globular domains are separated by a ~50 nm anti-parallel coiled-coil. SMC3 and SMC1 bind via their hinge domains creating V-shaped heterodimers. The N-terminal domain of RAD21 binds to the coiled coil of SMC3 just above the head domain while the C-terminal domain of RAD21 binds the head domain of SMC1. This end to end binding of the SMC3-SMC1-RAD21 trimer creates a closed ring within which DNA can be entrapped. SA1 or

! Characteristic!! Phenotype


When DNA is replicated and sister chromatid cohesion is established SMC3 is acetylated on a pair of highly conserved lysines by [[ESCO1]] and [[ESCO2]]. In budding yeast this modification is sufficient to stabilise cohesin on the DNA until mitosis but in animals, binding of sororin is also required.

Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 3 (SMC3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMC3 gene.[5] SMC3 is a subunit of the Cohesin complex which mediates sister chromatid cohesion, homologous recombination and DNA looping. Cohesin is formed of SMC3, SMC1, RAD21 and either SA1 or SA2. In humans, SMC3 is present in all cohesin complexes whereas there are multiple paralogs for the other subunits.

SMC3 is a member of the SMC protein family. Members of this family are key regulators of DNA repair, chromosome condensation and chromosome segregation.

Structure and interactions

The domain organisation of SMC proteins is evolutionarily conserved and is composed of an N-terminal Walker A motif, coiled-coil, "hinge", coiled-coil and a C-terminal Walker B motif. The protein folds back on itself to form a rod-shaped molecule with a heterodimerisation "hinge" domain at one end and an ABC-type ATPase "head" at the other. These globular domains are separated by a ~50 nm anti-parallel coiled-coil. SMC3 and SMC1 bind via their hinge domains creating V-shaped heterodimers. The N-terminal domain of RAD21 binds to the coiled coil of SMC3 just above the head domain while the C-terminal domain of RAD21 binds the head domain of SMC1. This end to end binding of the SMC3-SMC1-RAD21 trimer creates a closed ring within which DNA can be entrapped. SA1 or

When DNA is replicated and sister chromatid cohesion is established SMC3 is acetylated on a pair of highly conserved lysines by ESCO1 and ESCO2. In budding yeast this modification is sufficient to stabilise cohesin on the DNA until mitosis but in animals, binding of sororin is also required.

During meiosis, SMC3 forms cohesin complexes with SMC1ß, STAG3 and REC8 which generate cohesion between homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids.[6]

Cornelia de Lange syndrome

[edit]

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder that presents with variable clinical abnormalities including dysmorphic features, severe growth retardation, global developmental delay, and intellectual disability. SMC3 is one of five genes that have been implicated in CdLS.[7] In one case report, a novel SMC3 gene duplication was detected in a child with failure to thrive, hypotonia and facial dysmorphic features of CdLS.[7] The same duplication was also observed in the mother, who had milder dysmorphic facies.

Role in Basement Membrane

[edit]

SMC3 occurs in certain cell types as a secreted protein and post-translational addition of chondroitin sulfate chains gives rise to the secreted proteoglycan bamacan, an abundant basement membrane protein.[5]
