Abstract excerpt
Condensin I is a five-subunit protein complex that is central to mitotic chromosome assembly in eukaryotic cells. Despite recent progress, its molecular mechanisms of action remain to be fully elucidated. By using Xenopus egg extracts as a functional assay, we find that condensin I complexes harboring mutations in its kleisin subunit CAP-H produce chromosomes with confined axes in the presence of topoisomerase...
