S-phase checkpoint proteins Tof1 and Mrc1 form a stable replication-pausing complex

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the checkpoint regulatory proteins Tof1 and Mrc1 interact directly with the DNA replication machinery in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which forms a stable pausing structure that serves to anchor subsequent DNA repair events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cohesin relocation from sites of chromosomal loading to places of convergent transcription

TL;DR: High resolution analysis of cohesin association along budding yeast chromosomes III–VI finds that active transcription positions cohesIn at these sites, not the underlying DNA sequence, is found, suggesting that it is a common feature of eukaryotic chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postreplicative recruitment of cohesin to double-strand breaks is required for DNA repair.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that G2-phase repair also requires the presence of cohesin at the damage site, and evidence is provided that DSB induction elicits establishment of sister chromatid cohesion in G2, implicating that damage-recruited cohes in facilitates DNA repair by tethering chromatids.
