Phenotypes of a mutant

• essential [Pubmed|12682299]
• terminal phenotype of a CRISPRi knockdown mutant is moderate lysis [Pubmed|27238023]
• ''[gene|0136394A52759CEEDD8DE074ED74033C6FFB8435|smc]'' mutants are not viable on complex medim that allow rapid growth, but they are viable under conditions of slow growth [Pubmed|24440399,24440393]
• ''[gene|0136394A52759CEEDD8DE074ED74033C6FFB8435|smc]'' lethality on complex medim can be suppressed by inactivation of ''[gene|0C76CAE27ACEBC0FF6B864B9F8C7D3C41C8D2A24|tmcAL]'' and ''[gene|EA155B3BEB9EAC97114058E23B6D8CDF8823A602|tsaC]'' (constitutive [SW|stringent response]) [Pubmed|26539825]

The protein

Protein family

• SMC family (according to Swiss-Prot)

Effectors of protein activity

• ATP-induced DNA-binding results in a more open conformation of the [protein|0136394A52759CEEDD8DE074ED74033C6FFB8435|Smc] dimer, and thus of the [SW|condensin] complex [Pubmed|25557547]

Structure

• [PDB|3ZGX] (complex between the head domain of [protein|0136394A52759CEEDD8DE074ED74033C6FFB8435|Smc] (aa 1 - 219 and 983 - 1186) and the N-terminal winged-helix domain of [protein|8DD968C97FDC0E81293887E2FCB7EE1A9416A333|ScpA]) [Pubmed|23353789]

[SW|Localization]

• nucleoid (heterogeneous) [Pubmed|16479537]
• the [SW|condensin] ([protein|0136394A52759CEEDD8DE074ED74033C6FFB8435|Smc])2-[protein|8DD968C97FDC0E81293887E2FCB7EE1A9416A333|ScpA]-[protein|9137D162E6331E2B127472BCF5F49A9AE46266F3|ScpB] complex is loaded by [protein|EF4BD49FCD49EE97908973581478951C8FA196C0|ParB] to ''parS'' centromeric sites adjacent to the replication origin, travels then from the origin to the terminus at rates >50 kb per minute [Pubmed|28154080,24440393,23475963]
