Cohesin’s DNA Exit Gate Is Distinct from Its Entrance Gate and Is Regulated by Acetylation

Sister chromatid cohesion is mediated by entrapment of sister DNAs by a tripartite ring composed of cohesin’s Smc1, Smc3, and α-kleisin subunits. Cohesion requires acetylation of Smc3 by Eco1, whose role is to counteract an inhibitory (antiestablishment) activity associated with cohesin’s Wapl subun...
