Abstract excerpt
Accurate chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis depends on shugoshin protein which localizes at the centromere of chromosomes. Sgo1, a meiosis-specific shugoshin in fission yeast, collaborates with the PP2A phosphatase enzyme to remove phosphate groups from Rec8 cohesin, thereby preventing its cleavage by separase during meiosis. Here we demonstrate that ectopic expression of Sgo1 causes chromosome...
