Cohesin architecture and clustering in vivo [PDF]
eLife, 2021 Cohesin helps mediate sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome condensation, DNA repair, and transcription regulation. We exploited proximity-dependent labeling to define the in vivo interactions of cohesin domains with DNA or with other cohesin domains ...

Context-dependent regulation of IgH V(D)J recombination by cohesin-STAG1 and cohesin-STAG2 [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCohesin-mediated loop extrusion is central to IgH V(D)J recombination in early developing B cells, driving D-to-JH rearrangements and VH-to-DJH rearrangements, with the latter step regulated by the cohesin release factor WAPL.

Interplay between cohesin and TORC1 links chromosome segregation and gene expression to environmental changes [PDF]
eLifeCohesin is a DNA tethering complex essential for chromosome structure and function. In fission yeast, defects in the cohesin loader Mis4 result in chromosome segregation defects and dysregulated expression of genes near chromosome ends.

Genome-wide control of RNA polymerase II activity by cohesin. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Cohesin is a well-known mediator of sister chromatid cohesion, but it also influences gene expression and development. These non-canonical roles of cohesin are not well understood, but are vital: gene expression and development are altered by modest ...

Chromosomal localization of cohesin is differentially regulated by WIZ, WAPL, and G9a
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background The cohesin complex is essential for proper chromosome structure and gene expression. Defects in cohesin subunits and regulators cause changes in cohesin complex dynamics and thereby alter three-dimensional genome organization.

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2022 Background The cohesin complex organizes the genome-forming dynamic chromatin loops that impact on all DNA-mediated processes. There are two different cohesin complexes in vertebrate somatic cells, carrying the STAG1 or STAG2 subunit, and two versions of

eLife, 2020 Cohesin has essential roles in chromosome structure, segregation and repair. Cohesin binding to chromosomes is catalyzed by the cohesin loader, Mis4 in fission yeast. How cells fine tune cohesin deposition is largely unknown.

iScience, 2023 Summary: Chromatin organization, whose malfunction causes various diseases including cancer, is fundamentally controlled by cohesin. While cancer cells have been found with mutated or misexpressed cohesin genes, there is no comprehensive survey about the

Topological in vitro loading of the budding yeast cohesin ring onto DNA
Life Science Alliance, 2018 The biochemical reconstitution of topological DNA binding by budding yeast cohesin yields surprises and opens opportunities to exploit experimental approaches developed in this model organism.

Evidence for cohesin sliding along budding yeast chromosomes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 The ring-shaped cohesin complex is thought to topologically hold sister chromatids together from their synthesis in S phase until chromosome segregation in mitosis.
