Single amino acid substitutions in hydrophobic cores at a head-coiled coil junction region of cohesin facilitate its release of DNA during anaphase

Cohesin holds sister chromatids together and is cleaved by separase/Cut1 to release DNA during the transition from mitotic metaphase to anaphase. The cohesin complex consists of heterodimeric structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) subunits (Psm1 and Psm3), which possess a head and a hinge, sepa...
