Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

A multisubunit protein complex that plays a central role in chromosome condensation. Any macromolecular complex composed of two or more polypeptide subunits, which may or may not be identical. Protein complexes may have other associated non-protein prosthetic groups, such as nucleotides, metal ions or other small molecules. A highly compacted molecule of DNA and associated proteins resulting in a cytologically distinct structure. The core heterodimer of a condensin complex, a multisubunit protein complex that plays a central role in chromosome condensation. A structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information. A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which the constituent parts function together. A constituent part of an intracellular organelle, an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes constituent parts of the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton but excludes the plasma membrane. Any constituent part of a chromosome, a structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information.
