Molecular dissection of condensin II-mediated chromosome assembly using in vitro assays
In vertebrates, condensin I and condensin II cooperate to assemble rod-shaped chromosomes during mitosis. Although the mechanism of action and regulation of condensin I have been studied extensively, our corresponding knowledge of condensin II remains ...

Condensin locates at transcriptional termination sites in mitosis, possibly releasing mitotic transcripts [PDF]
Condensin is an essential component of chromosome dynamics, including mitotic chromosome condensation and segregation, DNA repair, and development. Genome-wide localization of condensin is known to correlate with transcriptional activity.

Condensin-driven loop extrusion on supercoiled DNA
Condensin, a structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex, has been shown to be a molecular motor protein that organizes chromosomes by extruding loops of DNA.

Condensin in Chromatid Cohesion and Segregation [PDF]
After replication of genomic DNA during the S phase, 2 chromatids hold together longitudinally. When cells enter mitosis, the paired sister chromatids start to condense and then segregate into individual chromatids except for the centromeric region. Upon attachment of microtubules to the kinetochore, subsequent pulling of the 2 sister chromatids by the

Chromosome Organization: Original Condensins [PDF]
Two new studies reveal the main actors involved in the resolution and segregation of newly replicated origins in bacteria. These results have important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms involved in precisely coordinating chromosome organization, segregation and replication.

The expanding territories of condensin II [PDF]
The 3D structure of the eukaryotic genome and its spatial regulation within nuclei are governed by a range of architectural proteins. One class of such factors is the condensins, highly conserved multi-subunit protein complexes. Most eukaryotic species have 2 condensins, condensin I and II, and both condensins are essential for mitotic chromosome ...

Contrasting roles of condensin I and condensin II in mitotic chromosome formation [PDF]
© 2012. Published by The Company of Biologists LtdIn vertebrates, two condensin complexes exist, condensin I and condensin II, which have differing but unresolved roles in organizing mitotic chromosomes.

Fob1-dependent condensin recruitment and loop extrusion on yeast chromosome III.
Despite recent advances in single-molecule and structural analysis of condensin activity in vitro, mechanisms of functional condensin loading and loop extrusion that lead to specific chromosomal organization remain unclear.

The localization of condensin along chromosomes is crucial for their accurate segregation in anaphase. Condensin is enriched at telomeres but how and for what purpose had remained elusive.
