Condensin, Chromatin Crossbarring and Chromosome Condensation
, 2012 The processes underlying the large-scale reorganisation of chromatin in mitosis that form compact mitotic chromosomes and ensure the fidelity of chromosome segregation during cell division still remain obscure.

Condensin IDC, DPY-21, and CEC-4 maintain X chromosome repression in C. elegans.
PLoS GeneticsDosage compensation in Caenorhabditis elegans equalizes X-linked gene expression between XX hermaphrodites and XO males. The process depends on a condensin-containing dosage compensation complex (DCC), which binds the X chromosomes in hermaphrodites to ...

Chromosome compaction is triggered by an autonomous DNA-binding module within condensin
Cell ReportsSummary: The compaction of chromatin into mitotic chromosomes is essential for faithful transmission of the genome during cell division. In eukaryotes, chromosome morphogenesis is regulated by the condensin complex, though the exact mechanism used to ...

Chromosome Dynamics: The Case of the Missing Condensin
, 2009 SummaryCondensins are conserved protein complexes that play integral roles in chromosome dynamics during mitosis and meiosis. Caenorhabditis elegans has been thought to be unusual in that it appeared to lack a typical condensin I complex. However, recent

An investigation into factors affecting condensin association with mitotic centromeres
, 2017 The SMC protein family (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes) consists of a group of highly conserved protein complexes, central to chromosome dynamics and key cell cycle events.

Molecular mechanism targeting condensin for chromosome condensation
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 ...

, 2012 © 2012 Dr. Lydia Crystal GreenThe condensins are essential protein complexes that are required for correct organisation and division of chromosomes during mitosis. Two condensin complexes exist in higher eukaryotes, condensin I and condensin II.

Real-time imaging of DNA loop extrusion by condensin
, 2018 It has been hypothesized that SMC protein complexes such as condensin and cohesin spatially organize chromosomes by extruding DNA into large loops. We directly visualized the formation and processive extension of DNA loops by yeast condensin in real time.
