Cohesion associated with a centromere is insufficient to resist the 'splitting' forces generated by microtubules and have to be reinforced by cohesion provided by flanking cohesin binding regions.

Xenopus cohesin contains homologues of Smc1, Smc3, Scc1 and two additional proteins. Cohesin appears on chromatin during S phase and its depletion from interphase extracts abrogates cohesion during mitosis. Most of cohesin dissociates from chromatin in early mitosis (i.e. considerably before sisters separate).

Hct1/Cdh1 binds to and activates the APC/C only in late anaphase and G1. During other times, its associating is blocked through its phosphorylation by Cdk1-B-type cyclin kinases. A nonphosphorylatable version constitutively activates degradation of mitotic but not S-phase cyclins.

Accumulation of cyclin B1 requires E2F and cyclin A-dependent rearrangement of the anaphase-promoting complex. Nature. 401:1999;815-818. In human cells, E2F-dependent expression of cyclin A is required for accumulation of cyclin B1. The Cdk2-cyclin A kinase is shown to phosphorylate Cdh1 thereby blocking its binding to the APC/C. These data provide a link between entry into mitosis and the control system that regulates progression into S-phase in mammalian cells.

Extracts induced to enter mitosis in the absence of Suc1/Cks1 are defective in both phosphorylation of APC/C subunits and cyclin B degradation. These data suggest that Suc1/Cks1 might target the Cdk1-cyclin B kinase to the APC/C.

An in vitro system is established that reproduces the removal of Scc1 from chromatin, which is known to trigger sister separation in vivo. Scc1 is proteolytically cleaved in a reaction that depends on the separin Esp1 and is inhibited by the securin Pds1. Identification of the cleavage sites led to the generation of a noncleavable Scc1 variant, which is able to establish cohesion but then persists on chromosomes and prevents separation of sister chromatid.

To analyze the role of histone H3 phosphorylation, the authors take advantage of the biology of ciliates that contain two nuclei: In vegetative cells, the mitotically dividing micronucleus is 'silent' whereas the endoreplicated marconucleus is 'active' and divides by cleavage. This system allows the manipulation of genes essential for mitosis. Strains expressing only nonphosphorylatable histone H3 show a strong defect in chromosome condensation and sister chromatid segregation causing massive chromosome loss in the micronucleus.

Work with purified components shows that phosphorylation of Hct1/Cdh1 by Cdk1 blocks its binding to the APC/C. Binding of Hct1/Cdh1 and activation of the APC/C were restored by incubation with the phosphatase Cdc14, which is known to be required for cyclin degradation in vivo.
