Summary
SMC6 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 6, HGNC:20466) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p24.2, encoding Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 6 (Q96SB8). Core component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex, a complex involved in DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 54.1% of cell lines).
Enables DNA secondary structure binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation by host of viral genome replication; and telomere maintenance via recombination. Located in chromosome and nuclear body. Part of Smc5-Smc6 complex. Is active in nucleus.

Function. Core component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex, a complex involved in DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. 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 in ALT (alternative lengthening of telomeres) cell lines and mediates sumoylation of shelterin complex (telosome) components which is proposed to lead to shelterin complex disassembly in ALT-associated PML bodies (APBs). Required for recruitment of telomeres to PML nuclear bodies. SMC5-SMC6 complex may prevent transcription of episomal DNA, such as circular viral DNA genome.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a heterodimer with SMC5. Component of the SMC5-SMC6 complex which consists at least of SMC5, SMC6, NSMCE2, NSMCE1, NSMCE4A or EID3 and NSMCE3. Interacts with NSMCE1. Interacts with NSMCE2. Interacts with SLF1. Interacts with SLF2. Interacts with RAD18. Interacts with SIMC1. (Microbial infection) SMC5-SMC6 complex interacts with Hepatitis B X protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV) protein RTA/ORF50; this interaction targets the SMC5-SMC6 complex for proteasomal degradation. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus BNRF1; this interaction targets SMC5-SMC6 complex for proteasomal degradation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Chromosome. PML body. Telomere.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Strongly expressed in testis.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Sumoylated by NSMCE2/MMS21. Ubiquitinated. (Microbial infection) SMC5-SMC6 complex is degraded by the activity of Hepatitis B X protein.
Domain organisation. The flexible hinge domain, which separates the large intramolecular coiled coil regions, allows the heterotypic interaction with the corresponding domain of SMC5, forming a V-shaped heterodimer.
Similarity. Belongs to the SMC family. SMC6 subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 61 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.
