    摘要、提要註: Smc5/6 is one of three related complexes that regulate chromosome dynamics. It is closely related to cohesin, which encircles sister chromatids until anaphase. Cohesin is stripped from chromosomes in a two-step process: first, from chromosome arms at prophase by an unknown mechanism; second, centromeric cohesin is cleaved, enabling sister separation. Smc5/6-dysfunction leads to a failure of arm cohesin removal, causing mitotic defects. Loss of H2A.Z causes aneuploidy, reduces arm cohesin levels, and suppresses cohesin retention in Smc5/6 mutants. Canonical H2A with various post-translational modifications occupies regions that normally contain H2A.Z nucleosomes in these cells. I have explored a role of H2A in cohesin regulation, and found that gamma-H2A is critical for Smc5/6 mutants to survive DNA damage, and is increased in the absence of H2A.Z. Thus, the presence of gamma-H2A rather than the absence of H2A.Z may be critical in cohesin regulation, expanding the epigenetic control of the cohesin cycle.
