摘要

Chromosomes are highly orga nized in the cell, yet they un dergo dynamic conformational changes throughout the cell cy cle. Such conformational changes become crucial, particularly when duplicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate from each other before cell division. From a mechanistic point of view, two funda mental processes must operate for suc cessful separation of chromosomes. One is protein-mediated packaging of the DNAs to make duplicated chromosomes com pact (i.e., condensation), and the other is complete removal of entanglement be tween sister DNAs created in the process of DNA replication (i.e., decatenation). Although it has long been suspected that the two processes must be coordinated with each other, direct evidence for this idea remains scarce. A pair of papers published in PNAS now reports a comple mentary set of evidence for the physical and functional interactions between the major players responsible for condensa tion and decatenation (1, 2).
