CTCF and R-loops are boundaries of cohesin-mediated DNA looping

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2023
Cohesin and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) are key regulatory proteins of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization. Cohesin extrudes DNA loops that are anchored by CTCF in a polar orientation.

Cohesin in Gametogenesis

2013
Sister chromatid cohesion depends on cohesin, a tripartite complex that forms ring structures to hold sister chromatids together in mitosis and meiosis. Meiocytes feature a multiplicity of distinct cohesin proteins and complexes, some meiosis specific, which serve additional functions such as supporting synapsis of two pairs of sister chromatids and ...

DNA loop extrusion by human cohesin

Science, 2019
Cohesin extrudes DNA loops DNA is folded into loops in eukaryotic cells by a process that depends on a ring-shaped adenosine triphosphatase complex called cohesin. Davidson et al. and Kim et al.

Cohesin in haematopoiesis and leukaemia

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2018
Purpose of review Disturbance of the delicate balance between self-renewal and differentiation in haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can lead to both leukaemia and bone marrow failure. The regulation of this balance in HSC biology has been intensely investigated in several model systems, and lately the importance of epigenetic ...

A Role for Chromatin Remodeling in Cohesin Loading onto Chromosomes [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2019
[EN]Cohesin is a conserved, ring-shaped protein complex that topologically embraces DNA. Its central role in genome organization includes functions in sister chromatid cohesion, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation. Cohesin loading onto chromosomes

Cohesin and chromatin organisation

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2012
Cohesin defines the topology of chromosomes in mitosis and meiosis by holding sister chromatids together; more recently a role for cohesin in chromatin organisation and gene expression in interphase has emerged.

Regulators of the Cohesin Network

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2010
Chromosome cohesion is the term used to describe the cellular process in which sister chromatids are held together from the time of their replication until the time of separation at the metaphase to anaphase transition. In this capacity, chromosome cohesion, especially at centromeric regions, is essential for chromosome segregation.

Cohesin in development and disease

Development, 2013
Cohesin is a ring-shaped complex, conserved from yeast to human, that was named for its ability to mediate sister chromatid cohesion. This function is essential for chromosome segregation in both mitosis and meiosis, and also for DNA repair. In addition, more recent studies have shown that cohesin influences gene expression during development through ...

Sister chromatid cohesion is mediated by individual cohesin complexes

Science
Eukaryotic genomes are organized by loop extrusion and sister chromatid cohesion, both mediated by the multimeric cohesin protein complex. Understanding how cohesin holds sister DNAs together, and how loss of cohesion causes age-related infertility in ...

Cryo-EM structure of the human cohesin-NIPBL-DNA complex

Science, 2020
A blueprint to understand cohesin Cohesin is a multiprotein complex that entraps sister chromatids for chromosome segregation and regulates transcription by extruding DNA loops to shape DNA organization. Shi et al.
