Visualization of chromosome condensation in plants with large chromosomes [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2017 Background Most data concerning chromosome organization have been acquired from studies of a small number of model organisms, the majority of which are mammals.

Novel insights into mitotic chromosome condensation [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2016 The fidelity of mitosis is essential for life, and successful completion of this process relies on drastic changes in chromosome organization at the onset of nuclear division.

A phospho-switch to trigger mitotic chromosome condensation [PDF]
Biology DirectOne of the most eye-catching events in cell biology is the condensation of chromosomes. During mitosis, the diffuse interphase chromatin rearranges into compact, rod-shaped chromosomes that can be precisely segregated between the daughter cells.

Molecular mechanism targeting condensin for chromosome condensation [PDF]
The EMBO JournalGenomes are organised into DNA loops by the Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins. SMCs establish functional chromosomal sub-domains for DNA repair, gene expression and chromosome segregation, but how SMC activity is specifically targeted ...

KDM4A Erases the H3R17me2a Mark, Facilitating Chromosome Condensation [PDF]
Advanced ScienceChromosome condensation during mitosis is essential for proper cell division. Histone modifications, particularly the dynamic regulation of active and repressive marks, play a crucial role in this process. However, the mechanisms controlling the temporal

Stable Chromosome Condensation Revealed by Chromosome Conformation Capture. [PDF]
Cell, 2015 Chemical cross-linking and DNA sequencing have revealed regions of intra-chromosomal interaction, referred to as topologically associating domains (TADs), interspersed with regions of little or no interaction, in interphase nuclei. We find that TADs and the regions between them correspond with the bands and interbands of polytene chromosomes of ...

Epigenetic countermarks in mitotic chromosome condensation. [PDF]
Nucleus, 2017 Mitosis in metazoans is characterized by abundant phosphorylation of histone H3 and involves the recruitment of condensin complexes to chromatin. The relationship between the 2 phenomena and their respective contributions to chromosome condensation in vivo remain poorly understood.

eLife, 2022 Chromosome segregation requires both the separation of sister chromatids and the sustained condensation of chromatids during anaphase. In yeast cells, cohesin is not only required for sister chromatid cohesion but also plays a major role determining the ...
