摘要
The structural maintenance of the chromosome 5/6(SMC5/6) complex has a variety of functions in mitosis and meiosis in yeast and human,including facilitating homologous recombination,restarting stalled replication forks,and maintaining ribosomal DNA and heterochromatin,among other roles. In Arabidopsis,At SMC5 and At SMC6A/6B are responsive to DNA damage. However,the non-SMC element 1 and 3 functions in Arabidopsis growth and development remain as yet unknown. In our study,it was found that the loss function of the non-SMC element 1 and 3 led to the conversion of suspensor cell fate and caused defects in embryo pattern formation. Partially-complemented homologous mutants showed that the post-embryonic development of the mutants was inhibited,that chromosome fragments occurred during segregation of chromosomes,and that the transition from the G2 phase to the M phase was delayed,leading to endoreduplication. All of these results demonstrate that the non-SMC element 1 and 3 are essential for cell division and function in maintaining the stability of chromosome ploidy in mitosis. Further,a large number of dead cells and DNA DSBs were observed in the their mutants,and the expression of the non-SMC element 1 and 3 were up-regulated following treatment of the plants with DSBs inducer compounds,indicating that the non-SMC element 1 and 3 play roles in DNA damage repair. Therefore,we conclude that the nonSMC element 1 and 3 facilitate DSBs repair and contribute to maintaining the stability of chromosome ploidy in mitotic cells. The non-SMC element 1 and 3 could thus be considered as required factors for maintaining proper early embryo cell differentiation and post-embryonic development.
