Dual Inhibition of Sister Chromatid Separation at Metaphase
Separation of sister chromatids in anaphase is mediated by separase, an endopeptidase that cleaves the chromosomal cohesin SCC1. Separase is inhibited by securin, which is degraded at the metaphase-anaphase transition. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we demonstrate that high CDC2 activity inhibits anaphase but not securin degradation. We show that separase is kept inactive under these conditions by...
متن کاملSister chromatid separation at human telomeric regions.
Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes located at chromosome ends, vital for preserving chromosomal integrity. Telomeric DNA shortens with progressive rounds of cell division, culminating in replicative senescence. Previously we have reported, on the basis of fluorescent in situ hybridization, that several human telomeric regions display solitary signals (singlets) in metaphase cells of presenes...
متن کاملprophase I arrest in males and sister chromatid separation at metaphase II in females
Bacterial RecA and its yeast orthologue RAD51 are the founding members of the RecA/RAD51 protein family, which plays a crucial role in DNA repair by homologous recombination (for review see Kawabata et al., 2005). After DNA ends are resected at the site of a DNA break, these proteins form a nucleoprotein fi lament on the single-stranded DNA and catalyze a strand invasion and strand exchange rea...
متن کاملCohesion Fatigue Induces Chromatid Separation in Cells Delayed at Metaphase
BACKGROUND Chromosome instability is thought to be a major contributor to cancer malignancy and birth defects. For balanced chromosome segregation in mitosis, kinetochores on sister chromatids bind and pull on microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles. This tension contributes to the correction of improper kinetochore attachments and is opposed by the cohesin complex that holds the sis...
متن کاملSister chromatid separation: Falling apart at the seams
Cohesion between sister chromatids must be dissolved at the time of chromosome segregation. Recent studies reveal that the principles of cohesion dissolution in mitosis and meiosis are the same, but that there are important differences that stem from the distinct natures of these two processes.
