Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Xenopus SMC protein complexes required for sister chromatid cohesion
TL;DR: The results suggest that proper assembly of mitotic chromosomes is regulated by two distinct classes of SMC protein complexes, cohesins and condensins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential contributions of condensin I and condensin II to mitotic chromosome architecture in vertebrate cells.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the two condensin complexes make distinct mechanistic contributions to mitotic chromosome architecture in vertebrate cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensin and cohesin display different arm conformations with characteristic hinge angles.
TL;DR: The visualization of vertebrate condensin and cohesin by electron microscopy shows both complexes display the two-armed structure characteristic of SMC proteins, but their conformations are remarkably different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic molecular linkers of the genome: the first decade of SMC proteins
Ana Losada,Tatsuya Hirano +1 more
TL;DR: This work dissects this class of chromosomal ATPases, which form unique ring- or V-shaped structures with long coiled-coil arms, and function as ATP-modulated, dynamic molecular linkers of the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cohesin release is required for sister chromatid resolution, but not for condensin-mediated compaction, at the onset of mitosis.
TL;DR: It is found that the prophase release of cohesin is completely blocked when two mitotic kinases, aurora B and polo-like kinase (Plx1) are simultaneously depleted from Xenopus egg extracts, and this suggests that cohesIn release at the onset of mitosis is essential for sister chromatid resolution but not for condensin-mediated compaction.
