Product Characteristics: Please inquire for additional information about product characteristics
Target Information: E3 SUMO-protein ligase component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex, a complex involved in repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. Is not be required for the stability of the complex.The complex may promote sister chromatid homologous recombination by recruiting the SMC1-SMC3 cohesin complex to double-strand breaks. The complex is required for telomere maintenance via recombination and mediates sumoylation of shelterin complex (telosome) components. Acts as a E3 ligase mediating SUMO attachment to various proteins such as SMC6L1 and TRAX, the shelterin complex subunits TERF1, TERF2, TINF2 and TERF2IP, and maybe the cohesin components RAD21 and STAG2. Required for recruitment of telomeres to PML nuclear bodies. SUMO protein-ligase activity is required for the prevention of DNA damage-induced apoptosis by facilitating DNA repair. Required for sister chromatid cohesion during prometaphase and mitotic progression (By similarity)
