Abstract excerpt
Sister chromatids are held together by cohesins. At anaphase, separase is activated by degradation of its inhibitory partner, securin. Separase then cleaves cohesins, thus allowing sister chromatid separation. Fission yeast securin (Cut2) has destruction boxes and a separase (Cut1) interaction site in the amino and carboxyl terminus, respectively. Here we show that securin is essential for separase stability and...
