| 總結: | Newly copied sister chromatids are tethered together by the cohesin complex, but how sister chromatid cohesion is coordinated with DNA replication is poorly understood. Prevailing models suggest cohesin complexes, bound to DNA before replication, remain behind the advancing replication fork to keep sister chromatids together. By visualizing single replication forks colliding with pre-loaded cohesin complexes, we find that the replisome instead pushes cohesin to where a converging replisome is met. While the converging replisomes are removed during DNA replication termination, cohesin remains on nascent DNA and provides cohesion. Additionally, we show that CMG disassembly during replication termination is vital for proper cohesion in budding yeast. Together, our results support a new model where sister chromatid cohesion is established during DNA replication termination.
