Characterization of fission yeast cohesin: essential anaphase proteolysis of Rad21 phosphorylated in the S phase.

Cohesin complex acts in the formation and maintenance of sister chromatid cohesion during and after S phase. Budding yeast Scc1p/Mcd1p, an essential subunit, is cleaved and dissociates from chromosomes in anaphase, leading to sister chromatid separation. Most cohesin in higher eukaryotes, in contras...
