An interplay between TATA box-binding protein and transcription factors IIE and IIA modulates DNA binding and transcription

Yokomori, Kyoko, Verrijzer, C. Peter, Tjian, Robert

The basal transcription factor IIE (TFIIE) is thought to be one of the last factors to be assembled into a preinitiation complex (PIC) at eukaryotic promoters after RNA polymerase II and TFIIF have...

Identification of two distinct human SMC protein complexes involved in mitotic chromosome dynamics

Schmiesing, John A., Ball, Alexander R., Gregson, Heather C., Alderton, Janet M., Zhou, Sharleen, Yokomori, Kyoko

The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family member proteins previously were shown to play a critical role in mitotic chromosome condensation and segregation in yeast and Xenopus. Other...

A Human Condensin Complex Containing hCAP-C–hCAP-E and CNAP1, a Homolog of Xenopus XCAP-D2, Colocalizes with Phosphorylated Histone H3 during the Early Stage of Mitotic Chromosome Condensation

Schmiesing, John A., Gregson, Heather C., Zhou, Sharleen, Yokomori, Kyoko

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) family proteins play critical roles in structural changes of chromosomes. Previously, we identified two human SMC family proteins, hCAP-C and hCAP-E, which...

Identification of a Chromosome-Targeting Domain in the Human Condensin Subunit CNAP1/hCAP-D2/Eg7

Schmiesing, John A., Zhou, Changcheng, Gregson, Heather C., Okada, Yoshiaki, Doi, Takefumi, ...

CNAP1 (hCAP-D2/Eg7) is an essential component of the human condensin complex required for mitotic chromosome condensation. This conserved complex contains a structural maintenance of chromosomes...

The alternative Ctf18-Dcc1-Ctf8-replication factor C complex required for sister chromatid cohesion loads proliferating cell nuclear antigen onto DNA

Bermudez, Vladimir P., Maniwa, Yoshimasa, Tappin, Inger, Ozato, Keiko, Yokomori, Kyoko, Hurwitz, Jerard

The linkage of sister chromatids after DNA replication ensures the faithful inheritance of chromosomes by daughter cells. In budding yeast, the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion requires...

Isolation and characterization of a novel DNA methyltransferase complex linking DNMT3B with components of the mitotic chromosome condensation machinery

Geiman, Theresa M., Sankpal, Umesh T., Robertson, Andrea K., Chen, Yue, Mazumdar, Manjari, Heale, Jason T., ...

Proper patterns of genome-wide DNA methylation, mediated by DNA methyltransferases DNMT1, -3A and -3B, are essential for embryonic development and genomic stability in mammalian cells. The de novo...

RAD18 and Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Independently Suppress the Access of Nonhomologous End Joining to Double-Strand Breaks and Facilitate Homologous Recombination-Mediated Repair▿ †

Saberi, Alihossein, Hochegger, Helfrid, Szuts, David, Lan, Li, Yasui, Akira, Sale, Julian E., ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD18 gene is essential for postreplication repair but is not required for homologous recombination (HR), which is the major double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway in...

Condensin I Reveals New Insights on Mouse Meiotic Chromosome Structure and Dynamics

Viera, Alberto, Gómez, Rocío, Parra, María T., Schmiesing, John A., Yokomori, Kyoko, Rufas, Julio S., ...

Chromosome shaping and individualization are necessary requisites to warrant the correct segregation of genomes in either mitotic or meiotic cell divisions. These processes are mainly prompted in...

The acetyltransferase activity of San stabilizes the mitotic cohesin at the centromeres in a shugoshin-independent manner

Hou, Fajian, Chu, Chih-Wen, Kong, Xiangduo, Yokomori, Kyoko, Zou, Hui

Proper sister chromatid cohesion is critical for maintaining genetic stability. San is a putative acetyltransferase that is important for sister chromatid cohesion in Drosophila melanogaster, but not...

Independent and sequential recruitment of NHEJ and HR factors to DNA damage sites in mammalian cells

Kim, Jong-Soo, Krasieva, Tatiana B., Kurumizaka, Hitoshi, Chen, David J., Taylor, A. Malcolm R., Yokomori, Kyoko

Damage recognition by repair/checkpoint factors is the critical first step of the DNA damage response. DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) activate checkpoint signaling and are repaired by nonhomologous...
