Abstract excerpt
Sister chromatid cohesion is required for proper chromosome segregation during cell division. One group of proteins that is essential for sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis and meiosis is the RAD21/REC8 family of cohesin proteins. Two cohesin proteins are found in yeast; one that functions mainly in mitosis while the other participates in meiosis. In contrast, only one cohesin gene appears to be present in...
