Function
[SMC2_HUMAN] 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.[1] [SMC4_HUMAN] Central component of the condensin complex, a complex required for conversion of interphase chromatin into mitotic-like condense chromosomes.
