Condensin-Based Chromosome Organization from Bacteria to Vertebrates
Condensins are large protein complexes that play a central role in chromosome organization and segregation in the three domains of life. They display highly characteristic, rod-shaped structures with SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) ATPases as their core subunits and organize large-scale chromosome structure through active mechanisms. Most eukaryotic species have two distinct condens...
متن کاملCondensin-mediated chromosome organization and gene regulation
In many organisms sexual fate is determined by a chromosome-based method which entails a difference in sex chromosome-linked gene dosage. Consequently, a gene regulatory mechanism called dosage compensation equalizes X-linked gene expression between the sexes. Dosage compensation initiates as cells transition from pluripotency to differentiation. In Caenorhabditis elegans, dosage compensation i...

متن کاملChromosome Segregation: Monopolin Attracts Condensin
To segregate chromosomes properly, the cell must prevent merotely, an error that occurs when a single kinetochore is attached to microtubules emanating from both spindle poles. Recent evidence suggests that cooperation between Pcs1/Mde4 and condensin complexes plays an important role in preventing merotely.
متن کاملChromosome Territories Meet a Condensin
In human diploid cells, 23 pairs of chromosomes become recognizable as a discrete set of rod-shaped entities during the mitotic stage of the cell cycle. Upon exit from mitosis, they decondense and are packed together into the nucleus, in which individual chromosomes are no longer discernible. Nonetheless, evidence accumulated during past decades suggests that the decondensed chromosomes are not...
