Function

Central component of cohesin, a complex required for chromosome cohesion during the cell cycle. The cohesin complex may form a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. Cohesion is coupled to DNA replication and is involved in DNA repair. The cohesin complex also plays an important role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis and in chromosomes movement.

Activity summary

SMC3 also known as Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes 3 is a core component of the cohesin complex playing a vital role in chromosomal architecture and stability. It has a molecular mass of approximately 141 kDa. SMC3 is ubiquitously expressed across various tissues and is notably abundant in proliferating cells. Using an ATPase domain SMC3 helps in the ATP-dependent binding and release of cohesin from chromatin contributing to sister chromatid cohesion during cell division.

Biological function summary

Cohesin complexes rely on SMC3 for the maintenance of chromosome cohesion condensation and repair. The protein is essential for the proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. SMC3 part of the cohesin complex along with SMC1 RAD21 and SCC3 forms a ring-like structure encircling sister chromatids ensuring they remain attached until anaphase. Besides structural purposes SMC3 facilitates DNA damage response contributing to genome integrity by allowing homologous recombination.

Pathways

SMC3 is integral in the cell cycle regulation and DNA repair pathways. During the cell cycle SMC3 cooperates with SMC1 and RAD21 in the establishment of cohesin networks necessary for genome integrity. In terms of DNA repair SMC3 supports homologous recombination an important mechanism of DNA double-strand break repair. The protein interacts with PLK1 and CDK1 influencing progression through the G2/M checkpoint in response to DNA damage.

Associated diseases and disorders

SMC3 is linked with Cornelia de Lange syndrome a developmental disorder characterized by growth and cognitive delays. Mutations in SMC3 disrupt its ability to maintain chromosome cohesion leading to defects in DNA replication and repair processes. Additionally SMC3 aberrations associate with cohesinopathies a group of diseases related to mutations in cohesin complex components like NIPBL and SMC1 highlighting SMC3's importance in genetic stability and normal development.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab201542 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab201542, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit monoclonal IgG [EPR25A] Alexa Fluor® 488 (Alexa Fluor® 488 Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab199091) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

    ab201542 staining SMC3 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab201542 at a 1/100 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLa cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).
