SMC4
geneOn this page
Also known as hCAP-CCAP-C
Summary
SMC4 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 4, HGNC:14013) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q25.33, encoding Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 4 (Q9NTJ3). Central component of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.4% of cancer cell lines).
This gene belongs to the ‘structural maintenance of chromosomes’ (SMC) gene family. Members of this gene family play a role in two changes in chromosome structure during mitotic segregation of chromosomes- chromosome condensation and sister chromatid cohesion. The protein encoded by this gene is likely a subunit of the 13S condensin complex, which is involved in chromosome condensation. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 2.

Function. Central component of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes. The condensin complex probably introduces positive supercoils into relaxed DNA in the presence of type I topoisomerases and converts nicked DNA into positive knotted forms in the presence of type II topoisomerases.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a heterodimer with SMC2. Component of the condensin complex, which contains the SMC2 and SMC4 heterodimer, and three non SMC subunits that probably regulate the complex: BRRN1/CAPH, CNAP1/CAPD2 and CAPG.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Chromosome.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Higher expression in testis, colon, thymus.
Domain organisation. The SMC hinge domain, which separates the large intramolecular coiled coil regions, allows the heterodimerization with SMC2, forming a V-shaped heterodimer.
Similarity. Belongs to the SMC family. SMC4 subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 170 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
