Melanoma antigen (MAGE) genes encode for a family of proteins that share a common MAGE homology domain. These genes are conserved in eukaryotes and have been linked to a variety of cellular and developmental processes including ubiquitination and oncogenesis in cancer. Current knowledge on the MAGE family of proteins mainly comes from the analysis of yeast and human cell lines, and their functions have not been reported at an organismal level in animals.Caenorhabditis elegansonly encodes 1 known MAGE gene member,mage-1(NSE3in yeast), forming part of the SMC-5/6 complex. Here, we characterize the role ofmage-1/nse-3in mitosis and meiosis inC. elegans.mage-1/nse-3has a role in inter-sister recombination repair during meiotic recombination and for preserving chromosomal integrity upon treatment with a variety of DNA-damaging agents. MAGE-1 directly interacts with NSE-1 and NSE-4. In contrast tosmc-5,smc-6,andnse-4mutants which cause the loss of NSE-1 nuclear localization and strong cytoplasmic accumulation,mage-1/nse-3mutants have a reduced level of NSE-1::GFP, remnant NSE-1::GFP being partially nuclear but largely cytoplasmic. Our data suggest that MAGE-1 is essential for NSE-1 stability and the proper functioning of the SMC-5/6 complex.
