Lead[edit]

Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 4 (SMC-4) also known as chromosome-associated polypeptide C (CAP-C) or XCAP-C homolog is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMC4 gene. SMC-4 is a core subunit of condensin I and II, large protein complexes involved in high order chromosome organization[1], including condensation and segregation[2]. SMC-4 protein is commonly associated with the SMC-2 protein, another protein complex within the SMC protein family. SMC-4 dimerizes with SMC-2, creating the flexible and dynamic structure of the condensin holocomplex.[1] An over-expression of the SMC-4 protein is shown to impact carcinogenesis.[3][4][2]

Structure and Interactions[edit]

Structure of a condensin protein holocomplex, displaying the SMC-4/SMC-2 heterodimer, and additional subunits. Kleisin is also depicted (blue).

The primary 5 domain structure of SMC proteins is highly conserved among species. The basic structure of SMC proteins are characterized by a non-helical hinge group, separated by two anti-parallel α-helical coiled-coil domains, along with two Amino-terminal globular domains containing ATP hydrolytic sites, or nucleotide-binding motifs located at the C-terminus and N-terminus called the Walker A and Walker B motifs.[5]

In eukaryotes, dimerization is mediated by the self-folding of the non-helical hinge group on the SMC protein. Dimerization occurs at the non-helical hinge group of SMC-4, which then associates with the non-helical hinge group of SMC-2, creating a "V" shaped heterodimeric structure. the holocomplex of condensin contains the SMC-4 and SMC-2 heterodimer subunits, along with 3 other non-SMC subunits, CAP-D2, CAP-G, and CAP-H.[2]

Structures of different condensin proteins and associated subunits.

In the condensin holocomplex, a protein subunit called kleisin joins the C-terminus and N-terminus ATPase end domains of both SMC-4 and SMC-2 proteins. when the condensin holocomplex is bound with ATP at these end domains, the condensin will assume a "closed" conformation state.[1] SMC-4 is a dynamic and flexible protein, allowing different domain components to occasionally interact with others. This is speculated to be involved in the mechanical ability of the complex when associated with chromosomes.[1] In budding yeast, these interactions my result in open "O" appearances, or collapsed "B" shaped states as a result of its dynamic ability.[6]

Clinical Significance of SMC-4[edit]

The SMC-4 protein is associated with abnormal cell and tumor growth, and involved with migration and invasion. In general, the presence of over-expressed SMC-4 proteins is thought to be correlated with carcinogenesis.[3]

It is found that an over-expression or down-regulation of the SMC-4 protein alters TGFβ/Smad signaling pathways in glioma cells. SMC-4-transduced glioma cells showed activation of theTGFβ/Smad signaling pathway which was not present in SMC-4 silenced glioma cells. This pathway was shown to be correlated with an "aggressive" behavioral phenotype in glioma cells. An over-expression of SMC-4 can induce a higher rate of proliferation, and ultimately increased invasive capability. A down-regulation of SMC-4 reduced this quality. [3]

The SMC-4 protein is involved with normal lung development however, adenocarcinoma lung tissue shows an over-expression of SMC-4. additionally, SMC-4 may act as independent prognostic factor for carcinogenesis and lung adenocarcinoma. [2]

Studies suggest that over-expression of the SMC-4 protein in human liver tissue may be correlated with progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.[4]
