Description
Description
In D.mel, the existence of a condensin II complex is disputed as no CAP-G2 subunit or equivalent has been identified. However, the condensin II subunit orthologs have been implicated in various aspects of chromosome organisation. (Adapted from FBrf0191647 and FBrf0225011).
Notes on Group

The condensin complex II gene CAP-G2 is absent in D.mel. FBrf0221447 failed to detect Smc2-associated complex II proteins. However, involvement of condensin complex II-specifc subunit orthologs in chromosome condensation has been observed (e.g. FBrf0219354 and FBrf0222628).
