PHB2 Protects Sister-Chromatid Cohesion in Mitosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2007
Cohesion between sister chromatids is essential for proper chromosome segregation in mitosis. In vertebrate mitotic cells, most cohesin is removed from the chromosome arms [1-4], but centromeric cohesin is protected by shugoshin until the onset of anaphase [5].

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

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.

Protocol for High-Throughput Analysis of Sister-Chromatids Contacts

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2020
Summary: Sister chromatid interactions are a key step to ensure the successful segregation of sister chromatids after replication. Our knowledge about this phenomenon is mostly based on microscopy approaches, which have some constraints such as ...

Structure of the Pds5-Scc1 Complex and Implications for Cohesin Function

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Sister chromatid cohesion is a fundamental prerequisite to faithful genome segregation. Cohesion is precisely regulated by accessory factors that modulate the stability with which the cohesin complex embraces chromosomes.

Modifying sister chromatid cohesion for meiosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2004
Meiosis produces haploid gametes from diploid cells in two stages that in many ways resemble mitosis. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing kinetochore orientation and cohesion at the first meiotic division are different from those at mitosis: sister kinetochores are pulled forwards from the same spindle pole at metaphase, and centromeric ...

Aurora A-dependent CENP-A phosphorylation at inner centromeres protects bioriented chromosomes against cohesion fatigue

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Sustained spindle tension applied to sister centromeres during mitosis leads to loss of sister chromatid cohesion which is known as cohesion fatigue.

Sister Chromatid Cohesion and Aneuploidy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In all living organisms, cells arise from the division of a pre-existing cell and inherit one copy of the genome identical to that of the mother cell. Any defect in chromosome segregation can lead to aneuploidy via chromosome gain or loss, and consequently to genetic instability, thereby paving the way for malignant growth and cancer.

A new thermosensitive smc-3 allele reveals involvement of cohesin in homologous recombination in C. elegans.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
The cohesin complex is required for the cohesion of sister chromatids and for correct segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Crossover recombination, together with cohesion, is essential for the disjunction of homologous chromosomes during the first ...

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

The cohesion protein SOLO associates with SMC1 and is required for synapsis, recombination, homolog bias and cohesion and pairing of centromeres in Drosophila Meiosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Cohesion between sister chromatids is mediated by cohesin and is essential for proper meiotic segregation of both sister chromatids and homologs. solo encodes a Drosophila meiosis-specific cohesion protein with no apparent sequence homology to cohesins ...
