Separase prevents genomic instability by controlling replication fork speed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Proper chromosome segregation is crucial for preserving genomic integrity, and errors in this process cause chromosome mis-segregation, which may contribute to cancer development.

S. cerevisiae Cells Can Grow without the Pds5 Cohesin Subunit

open access: yesmBio, 2022
During DNA replication, the newly created sister chromatids are held together until their separation at anaphase. The cohesin complex is in charge of creating and maintaining sister chromatid cohesion (SCC) in all eukaryotes.

Cohesin without cohesion: a novel role for Pds5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
High fidelity chromosome segregation during mitosis requires that cells identify the products of DNA replication during S-phase and then maintain that identity until anaphase onset.

Eco1-dependent cohesin acetylation anchors chromatin loops and cohesion to define functional meiotic chromosome domains

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Cohesin organizes the genome by forming intra-chromosomal loops and inter-sister chromatid linkages. During gamete formation by meiosis, chromosomes are reshaped to support crossover recombination and two consecutive rounds of chromosome segregation ...

Cohesin: Functions beyond sister chromatid cohesion [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2013
Faithful segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis is the cornerstone process of life. Cohesin, a multi‐protein complex conserved from yeast to human, plays a crucial role in this process by keeping the sister chromatids together from S‐phase to anaphase onset during mitosis and meiosis.

Chromatid Cohesion: Acetylation Joins the Sisters [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2008
The replication-fork-associated protein Eco1 is required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion, which plays an essential role in faithful chromosome segregation. Three recent studies in yeast and humans reveal that the acetyltransferase activity of Eco1 targets the cohesin subunit Smc3 to facilitate the establishment of cohesion.

Repression of transcription at DNA breaks requires cohesin throughout interphase and prevents genome instability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cohesin subunits are frequently mutated in cancer, but how they function as tumor suppressors is unknown. Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion, but this is not always perturbed in cancer cells.

Meiosis-specific cohesin complexes display essential and distinct roles in mitotic embryonic stem cell chromosomes

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2022
Background Cohesin is a chromosome-associated SMC–kleisin complex that mediates sister chromatid cohesion, recombination, and most chromosomal processes during mitosis and meiosis.

Sister chromatid cohesion establishment during DNA replication termination. [PDF]

open access: yesScience
Newly copied sister chromatids are tethered together by the cohesin complex, but how sister chromatid cohesion coordinates with DNA replication is poorly understood. Prevailing models suggest that cohesin complexes, bound to DNA before replication, remain behind the advancing replication fork to keep sister chromatids together.
