Molecular biology: chromosome guardians on duty (2006)

Riedel, Christian G., Katis, Vittorio L., Katou, Yuki, Mori, Saori, Itoh, Takehiko, Helmhart, Wolfgang, ...

Segregation of homologous maternal and paternal centromeres to opposite poles during meiosis I depends on post-replicative crossing over between homologous non-sister chromatids, which creates...

Displacement and re-accumulation of centromeric cohesin during transient pre-anaphase centromere splitting

Ocampo-Hafalla, Maria T., Katou, Yuki, Shirahige, Katsuhiko, Uhlmann, Frank

The ring-shaped cohesin complex links sister chromatids until their timely segregation during mitosis. Cohesin is enriched at centromeres where it provides the cohesive counterforce to bipolar...

Meiotic cohesins modulate chromosome compaction during meiotic prophase in fission yeast

Ding, Da-Qiao, Sakurai, Nobuko, Katou, Yuki, Itoh, Takehiko, Shirahige, Katsuhiko, Haraguchi, Tokuko, ...

The meiotic cohesin Rec8 is required for the stepwise segregation of chromosomes during the two rounds of meiotic division. By directly measuring chromosome compaction in living cells of the fission...

Genome-wide localization of pre-RC sites and identification of replication origins in fission yeast

Hayashi, Makoto, Katou, Yuki, Itoh, Takehiko, Tazumi, Mitsutoshi, Yamada, Yoshiki, Takahashi, Tatsuro, ...

DNA replication of eukaryotic chromosomes initiates at a number of discrete loci, called replication origins. Distribution and regulation of origins are important for complete duplication of the...
