Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on November 4, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Faithful anaphase is ensured by Mis4, a sister chromatid cohesion molecule required in S phase and not destroyed in G phase Kanji Furuya, Kohta Takahashi, and Mitsuhiro Yanagida CREST Research Project, Department of Biophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kitashirakawa-oiwake-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606, Japan The loss of sister chromatid cohesion triggers anaphase spindle movement. The budding yeast Mcd1/Scc1 protein, called cohesin, is required for associating chromatids, and proteins homologous to it exist in a variety of eukaryotes. Mcd1/Scc1 is removed from chromosomes in anaphase and degrades in G . We show that the fission yeast protein, Mis4, which is required for equal sister chromatid separation in anaphase is a different chromatid cohesion molecule that behaves independent of cohesin and is conserved from yeast to human. Its inactivation in G results in cell lethality in S phase and subsequent premature sister chromatid separation. Inactivation in G leads to cell death in subsequent metaphase–anaphase progression but missegregation occurs only in the next round of mitosis. Mis4 is not essential for condensation, nor does it degrade in G . Rather, it associates with chromosomes in a
