Abstract excerpt
Cohesin is a ring complex closed with structural maintenance of chromosome 1 (SMC-1), SMC-3, and a kleisin subunit, mediating sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis and meiosis. Kleisin N- and C-terminal domains interact with SMC-3 and SMC-1, forming two distinct cohesin gates. Whether these gates are specialized for mitosis and meiosis remains elusive. Here, we create Caenorhabditis elegans mutants that express...
