Cohesins: chromosomal proteins that prevent premature separation of sister chromatids. of outstanding interest Cell. 91:1997;35-45 This paper describes a Saccharomyces cerevisiae genetic screen that isolated the 'cohesins', the SCC1, SCC2, SMC1 and SMC3 genes. The Scc1 protein (or Mcd1p, see [18]) binds to chromatin and dissociates at the metaphase to anaphase transition. Scc1p association with chromatin depends on functional Smc1p.

A direct link between sister chromatid cohesion and chromosome condensation revealed through the analysis of MCD1 in S. cerevisiae. of outstanding interest Cell. 91:1997;47-57 The MCD1 gene (or SCC1 gene, see [17]) was identified in two genetic screens and is required for the establishment and maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion. Mcd1p binds to Smc1p, and mcd1 mutants display condensation defects in addition to cohesion defects. This paper provides the first demonstration that the processes of condensation and cohesion are linked in budding yeast.

Identification of Xenopus SMC protein complexes required for sister chromatid cohesion. of outstanding interest Genes Dev. 12:1998;1986-1997 The isolation of the Xenopus cohesin complex is described. The complex contains homologs of the budding yeast Smc1 and Smc3 proteins, as well as the homolog of the Mcd1(Scc1) protein. Although the cohesin complex is required for cohesion, it binds to interphase chromatin but not mitotic chromatin. This behavior differs from that of the budding yeast cohesins.

The cohesion protein MEI-S332 localizes to condensed meiotic mitotic centromeres until sister chromatids separate. of special interest J Cell Biol. 140:1998;1003-1012 The mei-S322 protein localizes to mitotic centromeres as well as meiotic centromeres. During mitosis, mei-S322 localizes to centromeres when sister chromatids are held together, then dissociates when they separate. Although there has been no mitotic phenotype reported for mei-S322 mutants, this could be due to functional redundancy.

Since the centromeres separate in a metaphase arrest, Mis6 could be involved in maintaining sister chromatid cohesion at the centromere.

The complex binds to mitotic chromatin but not interphase chromatin.

The complex is required for Cut1 to localize to the spindle.

Both destruction boxes are functional, and they mediate the polyubiquitination of the Cut2 protein in Xenopus egg extracts.

An ESP1/PDS1 complex regulates loss of sister chromatid metaphase to anaphase transition in yeast. of outstanding interest Cell. 93:1998;1067-1076 This paper isolates a Pds1p-binding-protein and shows that Pds1p destruction is probably the sole anaphase promoting complex (APC)-mediated event in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Pds1p-binding-protein, Esp1, is required for sister chromatid separation. In esp1 mutants, the cohesin Scc1p does not dissociate from chromosomes (see [17]), suggesting that Esp1p regulates sister separation by mediating Scc1p dissociation. The role of Pds1p appears to be to inhibit Esp1p function until the metaphase to anaphase transition.
