Cohesin loading and sliding | Journal of Cell Science
Cohesin is a crucial component of chromosomal stability (Guacci et al., 1997; Losada et al., 1998; Michaelis et al., 1997).It consists of at least six subunits, the structural maintenance of chromosome (Smc) proteins Smc1 and Smc3, sister chromatid cohesion protein 1 (Scc1) (also known as Mcd1 or Rad21), Scc3 (also known as SA or stromalin), Pds5 and Wapl, which are all evolutionarily conserved.

A Structure-Based Mechanism for DNA Entry into the Cohesin
Aug 04, 2020 · Cohesin is a ring-shaped protein complex that topologically entraps DNA to fulfil key functions in chromosome architecture. In a multidisciplinary approach, Higashi et al. use cryo-EM and biochemical techniques to describe how ATP-fueled structural changes of the cohesin complex drive the DNA entry reaction into the cohesin ring.

Jul 18, 2011 · The cohesin loading factor NIPBL is required for cohesin to associate with chromosomes and plays a role in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. Although the NIPBL homolog Scc2 is recruited to an enzymatically generated DSB and promotes cohesin-dependent DSB repair in yeast, the mechanism of the recruitment remains poorly understood.

Conserved roles of chromatin remodellers in cohesin
Apr 10, 2020 · Cohesin is a conserved, ring-shaped protein complex that topologically entraps DNA. This ability makes this member of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex family a central hub of chromosome dynamics regulation. Besides its essential role in sister chromatid cohesion, cohesin shapes the interphase chromatin domain architecture and plays important roles in …

Cohesin and microtubule dependent mechanisms regulate
Mar 07, 2019 · Sister centromere fusion is a process unique to meiosis that promotes co-orientation of the sister kinetochores, ensuring they attach to microtubules from the same pole. We have found that the kinetochore protein SPC105R/KNL1 and Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1-87B) are required for this process. The analysis of these two proteins, however, has shown that two independent mechanisms maintain …

Establishment of Sister Chromatid Cohesion at the S
Sep 15, 2006 · Binding to the same sites as G1-loaded cohesin does not necessarily mean that loading occurred in the same Scc2/4-dependent reaction. To address this, we repeated the experiment in a strain in which Scc2 had been inactivated by the temperature-sensitive scc2-4 mutation. In this case, GAL1-expressed cohesin did not reach its normal association sites but was detected at Scc2/4 binding sites

Apr 10, 2020 · Up to12%cash back · On the one hand, RSC acts as a chromatin receptor that recruits Scc2–Scc4 by a direct protein interaction, independently of chromatin remodelling. On the other hand, RSC's chromatin-remodelling activity is required to generate a nucleosome-free region that is the substrate for cohesin loading (Muñoz et al. 2019 ).

Cohesin - Wikipedia
Cohesin is a multi-subunit protein complex, made up of SMC1, SMC3, RAD21 and SCC3 (SA1 or SA2). SMC1 and SMC3 are members of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) family.SMC proteins have two main structural characteristics: an ATP-binding cassette-like 'head' domain with ATPase activity (formed by the interaction of the N- and C- terminals) and a hinge domain that allows

These potentiated MCM complexes at late-replicating origins then recruit cohesin and SCC2/4 and repeat the process of cohesin loading and mobilization. The dispensability of the MCM2–7-dependent mechanism for cohesin loading in telophase suggests the existence of MCM2–7-independent cohesin loading mechanisms in human somatic cells during
