Abstract excerpt
Attachment between the sister chromatids is required for proper chromosome segregation in meiosis and mitosis, but its molecular basis is not understood. Mutations in the Drosophila ord gene result in premature sister chromatid separation in meiosis, indicating that the product of this gene is necessary for sister chromatid cohesion. We isolated the ord gene and found that it encodes a novel 55 kDa protein. Some...
