Abstract excerpt
Sister chromatid cohesion refers to the process by which sister chromatids are tethered together until the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. The evolutionarily conserved cohesin complex mediates sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesin not only ensures proper chromosome segregation, but also promotes high-fidelity DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Two subunits of cohesin (Smc1p, Smc3p) are members of the...
