Facts about Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein 5.
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 suggested to lead to shelterin complex disassembly in ALT-associated PML bodies (APBs). Required for recruitment of telomeres to PML nuclear bodies.

Widely expressed (PubMed:11408570). Strongly expressed in testis (PubMed:11408570).
Nucleus. Chromosome. Nucleus, PML body. Chromosome, telomere. Associates with chromatin (PubMed:25931565). Colocalizes with SMC6 on the X-Y chromosome pair within the sex vesicle during late pachytene/diplotene (By similarity). Localizes to PML nuclear bodies in ALT cell lines (PubMed:17589526). Accumulates with RAD18 and the SLF1-SLF2 complex at replication-coupled DNA interstrand repair and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites on chromatin in a ubiquitin-dependent manner (PubMed:25931565).
