The CDK Pef1 and protein phosphatase 4 oppose each other for regulating cohesin binding to fission yeast chromosomes

open access: yeseLife, 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.

Cohesin Mutations in Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2016
Cohesin is a large ring-shaped protein complex, conserved from yeast to human, which participates in most DNA transactions that take place in the nucleus. It mediates sister chromatid cohesion, which is essential for chromosome segregation and homologous recombination (HR)-mediated DNA repair.

Pds5 promotes cohesin acetylation and stable cohesin–chromosome interaction [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Reports, 2012
Pds5 and Wpl1 act as anti-establishment factors preventing sister-chromatid cohesion until counteracted in S-phase by the cohesin acetyl-transferase Eso1. However, Pds5 is also required to maintain sister-chromatid cohesion in G2. Here, we show that Pds5 is essential for cohesin acetylation by Eso1 and ensures the maintenance of cohesion by promoting a

The loopy world of cohesin

open access: yeseLife, 2021
DNA loops can be formed by a mechanism in which the cohesin complex pulls DNA strands through its ring structure using biased Brownian motion.

How does cohesin organize the 3D genome?

open access: yes, 2022
Cohesin and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) are key regulatory proteins of three-dimensional (3D) genome organization. I will present direct evidence that cohesin extrudes DNA loops that are anchored by CTCF proteins in specific orientations.

Smc5/6 coordinates formation and resolution of joint molecules with chromosome morphology to ensure meiotic divisions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
During meiosis, Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes underpin two fundamental features of meiosis: homologous recombination and chromosome segregation.

Cohesin loss eliminates all loop domains

open access: yesCell, 2017
SUMMARY The human genome folds to create thousands of intervals, called “contact domains,” that exhibit enhanced contact frequency within themselves.

Cohesin organizes 3D DNA contacts surrounding active enhancers in C. elegans

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2023
In mammals, cohesin and CTCF organize the 3D genome into topologically associated domains (TADs) to regulate communication between cis-regulatory elements. Many organisms, including S. cerevisiae, C. elegans, and A. thaliana contain cohesin but lack CTCF.
