Smc5/6 functions with Sgs1-Top3-Rmi1 to complete chromosome replication at natural pause sites
Abstract
Smc5/6, part of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family, plays roles in genome structural integrity. Here the authors reveal that Smc5/6 acts jointly with Top3 within the STR complex to mediate DNA replication completion at genomic natural pausing sites (NPSs).
