STAG2 Proteins and Enzymes

SA2 is a component of the cohesin complex, which is required for the cohesion of sister chromatids after DNA replication. The cohesin complex apparently forms a large proteinaceous ring within which, sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. The cohesin complex may also play a role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis. The subunit interacts directly with RAD21 in cohesin complex. Cohesin ...
