Protein Domain : Nse4/EID family IPR027786

Type  Family
Description  Proteins in the NSE4/EID (Non-structural maintenance of chromosomes element 4/EP300-interacting inhibitor of differentiation 3) family are components of the Smc5/6 complex that is involved in repair of 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 and mediates sumoylation of shelterin complex (telosome) components [ , , ]. In human, it acts as a repressor of nuclear receptor-dependent transcription possibly by interfering with CREBBP-dependent coactivation. It may function as a coinhibitor of other CREBBP/EP300-dependent transcription factors []. Interestingly, there is a single NSE4 gene in most eukaryotes up to non-placental mammals while there are several NSE4/EID copies in placental mammals [ ]. In humans, there are two NSE4 proteins, NSE4a and NSE4b/EID3. They contain both N and C-terminal kleisin domains. Their N-terminal domain binds to SMC6 neck and bridges it to the SMC5 head [] and to the Nse3 (another SMC5-6 complex subunit) pocket [], which seems to increased the stability of the ATP-free SMC5/6 complex.
