Condensins are Required for Maintenance of Nuclear Architecture [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 2014
The 3-dimensional spatial organization of eukaryotic genomes is important for regulation of gene expression as well as DNA damage repair. It has been proposed that one basic biophysical property of all nuclei is that interphase chromatin must be kept in a condensed prestressed state in order to prevent entropic pressure of the DNA polymer from ...

Chromosome Shaping by Two Condensins [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2004
It remains a big challenge in modern cell biology to determine the mechanism by which a discrete set of rod-shaped chromosomes is assembled from an amorphous mass of interphase chromatin. Recent studies start to shed new lights on how this process is actively supported by a class of multiprotein complexes called condensins.

Homologous recombination mutants cause differing lethality between h− and h+ Schizosaccharomyces pombe strains due to mat1 heterochromatin

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Homologous recombination (HR) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is essential when mating‐type switching–induced double‐strand breaks (DSBs) form at the mat1 locus. In h90 and h− strains, efficient mat1 DSB formation renders HR indispensable unless suppressors block these breaks.

Taking cohesin and condensin in context

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2018
Structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) protein complexes, including cohesin and condensin, are increasingly being recognized for their important role in cancer and development, making it critical that we understand how these evolutionarily conserved multi-subunit protein complexes associate with and organize the genome.

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 644-671, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

RNA polymerase backtracking results in the accumulation of fission yeast condensin at active genes

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2021
Using both experiments and mathematical modelling, the authors show that RNA polymerase backtracking contributes to the accumulation of condensin in the termination zone of active genes.

TTK Overexpression: A Negative Prognostic Biomarker in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Given threonine and tyrosine kinase (TTK)'s oncogenic role in various cancers and its understudied status in thyroid cancer, this study investigates TTK expression in thyroid lesions to assess its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Methods We analyzed differential TTK expression levels using public datasets (n = 143) and clinical

Identification of a BET Family Bromodomain/Casein Kinase II/TAF-Containing Complex as a Regulator of Mitotic Condensin Function

open access: yesCell Reports, 2014
Condensin is a central regulator of mitotic genome structure with mutants showing poorly condensed chromosomes and profound segregation defects. Here, we identify NCT, a complex comprising the Nrc1 BET-family tandem bromodomain protein (SPAC631.02 ...

The molecular mechanism of condensin in mitotic chromosome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The rearrangement of interphase chromatin into mitotic chromosomes is crucial for faithful chromosome segregation. Defects in this process may cause chromosome entanglement, decompaction, chromosome bridges during anaphase, and eventually genome ...
