Distinct functions of human cohesin-SA1 and cohesin-SA2 in double-strand break repair.
Cohesin is an essential multiprotein complex that mediates sister chromatid cohesion critical for proper segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Cohesin is also involved in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. In mammalian cells, cohesin is involved in both DSB repair and the damage checkpoint response, although the relationship between these two functions is unclear. Two cohesins dif...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Sa/Scc3p Subunits in the Xenopus and Human Cohesin Complexes
A multisubunit protein complex, termed cohesin, plays an essential role in sister chromatid cohesion in yeast and in Xenopus laevis cell-free extracts. We report here that two distinct cohesin complexes exist in Xenopus egg extracts. A 14S complex (x-cohesin(SA1)) contains XSMC1, XSMC3, XRAD21, and a newly identified subunit, XSA1. In a second 12.5S complex (x-cohesin(SA2)), XSMC1, XSMC3, and X...
متن کاملThe many functions of cohesin--different rings to rule them all?
It is well known that somatic and germ cells use different cohesin complexes to mediate sister chromatid cohesion, but why different isoforms of cohesin also co-exist within somatic vertebrate cells has remained a mystery. Two papers in this issue of The EMBO Journal have begun to address this question by analysing mouse cells lacking SA1, an isoform of a specific cohesin subunit. When one cell...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Interaction between the Cohesin Subunits Rad21 and SA1/2
The cohesin complex is responsible for the fidelity of chromosomal segregation during mitosis. It consists of four core subunits, namely Rad21/Mcd1/Scc1, Smc1, Smc3, and one of the yeast Scc3 orthologs SA1 or SA2. Sister chromatid cohesion is generated during DNA replication and maintained until the onset of anaphase. Among the many proposed models of the cohesin complex, the 'core' cohesin sub...
متن کاملA unique role of cohesin-SA1 in gene regulation and development.
Vertebrates have two cohesin complexes that consist of Smc1, Smc3, Rad21/Scc1 and either SA1 or SA2, but their functional specificity is unclear. Mouse embryos lacking SA1 show developmental delay and die before birth. Comparison of the genome-wide distribution of cohesin in wild-type and SA1-null cells reveals that SA1 is largely responsible for cohesin accumulation at promoters and at sites b...
