An Smc3 acetylation cycle is essential for establishment of sister chromatid cohesion.

Sister chromatid cohesion is thought to involve entrapment of sister DNAs by a tripartite ring composed of the cohesin subunits Smc1, Smc3, and Scc1. Establishment of cohesion during S phase depends on acetylation of Smc3's nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) by the Eco1 acetyl transferase. It is d...
