Yaşamın temel bir parçası, bir hücrenin genomunu kopyalama ve bölünme yeteneğidir; bu süreçler hücre döngüsünün iki ana aşamasında gerçekleşir.
İlk olarak, S fazı sırasında, kromozomal DNA kopyalanır. M fazı sırasında, kopyalanan kromozomlar ayrılır ve genetik olarak özdeş iki yavru hücreye dağıtılır.
S fazını takiben, kardeş kromatitlerin DNA'sı çok uzun ve karışıktır. Kardeş kromatitlerin bu durumda ayrılması, kromozom kırılmalarına, yanlış ayrışmaya ve hatta hücre ölümüne yol açabilir.
Bu potansiyel krizi önlemek için hücre, erken mitoz sırasında kardeş kromatitleri daha kolay ayrılan daha kısa yapılar halinde kademeli olarak yeniden düzenlemek için önemli miktarda enerji ayırır.
Bu yeniden düzenleme, kromozomların yoğunlaşmasında rol oynayan bir protein kompleksi olan kondensine dayanır.
Kondensin beş alt birimden oluşur. Ökaryotlarda, iki ana alt birim, SMC2 ve SMC4, ATPaz baş alanlarına diğer üç alt birim tarafından bağlanır: bir kleisin ve iki HEAT-repeat alt birimi.
Kondensinler, kardeş kromatit ayrımını kolaylaştıran iki ana işlemi desteklemek için ATP hidrolizi tarafından üretilen enerjiyi kullanır: kromozom yoğunlaşması ve kardeş kromatit çözünürlüğü.
Kromozom yoğunlaşması sırasında, kromatitler sıkıca paketlenir. Kardeş kromatid çözünürlüğü sırasında, yoğunlaştırılmış kardeş kromatitler, kohezinlerin kısmi olarak uzaklaştırılmasıyla kardeş DNA'lar bağlantısız hale geldiğinde veya dekatene edildiğinde farklı yapılar haline gelir.
Hücre metafaza ulaştığında, kardeş kromatitler kollar boyunca sadece gevşek bir şekilde bağlanır, ancak sentromerlerde hala sıkı bir şekilde bağlanır. 
Kondensin, DNA sarmalını değiştirebilir ve DNA halkalarını çevreleyen halkalı yapılar oluşturarak kromozom yoğunlaşmasını ve kardeş kromatid çözünürlüğünü katalize edebilir.

kondensinler

Condensins

Kondensinler, mitoz sırasında kromozomların birleşmesini beslemek için ATP'yi kullanan büyük protein kompleksleridir. Kromozomal DNA'yı sıkıştırarak, düzenleyerek ve ayırarak, post-interfaz DNA'nın karışık, şekilsiz kütlesini bireyselleştirilmiş kromozomlara dönüştürürler. Bitki ve hayvan hücreleri iki tip kondensin kompleksi içerir—kondensin I ve kondensin II. Her iki kompleksin de beş alt birimi vardır: iki SMC (Kromozomların Yapısal Sürerliliği) alt birimi, bir kleisin alt birimi ve iki HEAT-repeat alt birimi. Hem kondensin I hem de kondensin II'nin çekirdek alt birimleri SMC2 ve SMC4'tür. SMC proteinleri, DNA'nın düzenini ATP'ye bağımlı bir şekilde değiştirir. Diğer üç alt birim —SMC olmayan veya yardımcı alt birimler— iki kompleks arasında farklılık gösterir. Omurgalı kondensinin çıkarıldığı çalışmalar, mitotik kromozom oluşumunda kondensin I ve II'nin farklı rollerini göstermiştir. Kondensin II'nin uzaklaştırılması, daha uzun, daha esnek kromozomlara, kromozom dolaşmasına, anafaz sırasında hacimli kromatin köprülenmesine ve profazın büyük ölçüde kısalmasına neden olur. Buna karşılık, kondensin I'in çıkarılması, daha kısa, daha geniş kromozomlara ve daha az şiddetli olan ancak yine de sitokinez başarısızlığına neden olan anafaz bozukluğuna yol açar. Kondensinlerin kromozomları nasıl yoğunlaştırdığına dair popüler bir açıklama döngü ekstrüzyon modelidir. Bu model, bir kondensin molekülünün yakındaki iki DNA bölgesine bağlanabileceğini ve bunları zıt yönlere kaydırarak büyüyen bir DNA döngüsü yaratabileceğini öne sürer. Kondensinler ayrıca kromatinin uzak bölümlerini birbirine bağlayan multimerler oluşturmak için birbirleriyle etkileşime girebilir. Kondensin mutasyonları çeşitli kanser türleriyle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Örneğin, kondensin II alt birimi geninde yanlış mutasyona sahip farelerde T hücreli lenfomalar gelişti. Kondensinlerin kromozomal mimariyi etkilediği mekanizmalar açıklığa kavuşturulmaya devam ederken, bu protein kompleksleri hücre döngüsünün ve hücrenin hayatta kalmasının ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır.

how condensins shape mitotic chromosomes

Condensins shape chromosomes during mitosis, the stage when a cell divides. These large protein complexes use ATP, the cell’s energy molecule, to help turn loose post-interphase DNA into compact, separate chromosomes. They organize and segregate chromosomal DNA so it can be passed on correctly.

Plant and animal cells contain two condensin complexes: condensin I and condensin II. Each complex has five subunits. Two are SMC, or Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes, subunits. One is a kleisin subunit, and two are HEAT-repeat subunits. The core SMC subunits in both complexes are SMC2 and SMC4, which change DNA arrangement in an ATP-dependent way. The other three subunits are non-SMC, or auxiliary, subunits, and they differ between condensin I and condensin II.

Studies in vertebrate cells show that condensin I and condensin II have distinct roles in mitotic chromosome formation. When condensin II is removed, chromosomes become longer and more flexible. They can also become tangled, form bulky chromatin bridges during anaphase, and move into a much shorter prophase. When condensin I is removed, chromosomes become shorter and wider. The anaphase defect is less severe, but cytokinesis still fails.

One common explanation for chromosome compaction is the loop extrusion model. In this model, a condensin molecule binds two nearby DNA sites and slides them in opposite directions. This creates a growing DNA loop. Condensins may also work together as multimers that connect distant parts of chromatin. Condensin mutations have been linked to several cancers, including T cell lymphomas in mice with a missense mutation in a condensin II subunit gene. Researchers are still working out exactly how condensins control chromosome structure, but these protein complexes are important for the cell cycle and cell survival.

mitosis and cytokinesis

Mitosis and Cytokinesis Stages

Mitosis and cytokinesis are the two main steps of cell division. Mitosis is the process that divides the nucleus, while cytokinesis splits the rest of the cell. During mitosis, the cell’s genetic material is separated into two sets. This helps form two new nuclei with the same genetic information. Cytokinesis then completes division by separating the cytoplasm, which creates two daughter cells. These stages work together to make cell division possible in growing and repairing tissues.

duplication of chromatin structure

Chromatin Rebuilding During DNA Replication

Chromatin rebuilding during DNA replication helps cells copy DNA and pass on chromosome structure to daughter cells. During cell division, the genome must be disrupted and then reassembled across the whole chromosome. This process allows chromatin to be inherited, rebuilt, and maintained in new cells. The basic unit of chromatin is the nucleosome. A nucleosome contains DNA wrapped around an octamer of histone proteins, with short linker DNA between neighboring nucleosomes. The histone proteins...

cohesins

Cohesins in Meiosis and Genetic Disorders

Cohesin protein complexes act like molecular glue that keeps sister chromatids together. They are important in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, cohesin complexes are removed from chromosomes before anaphase begins. Meiosis has two rounds of chromosome separation. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, while Meiosis II separates sister chromatids. This process produces four daughter cells. The Meiosis I cohesin complex is made of four subunits: Smc1, Smc3, Rec8, and Scc3. Rec8...

the mitotic spindle

How the Mitotic Spindle Separates Chromosomes

The mitotic spindle is a microtubule-based structure that helps separate chromosomes during cell division. It forms in eukaryotic cells and moves sister chromatids to opposite ends of the parent cell. This leaves each new cell nucleus with the correct genetic material. A bipolar spindle has two poles, and that shape is important for chromosome segregation. In many animal cells, two centrosomes are present when mitosis begins. Each centrosome helps organize a circular set of microtubules at one...

centrosome duplication

Centrosome Duplication in the Cell Cycle

Centrosome duplication is a key part of the animal cell cycle. The centrosome is the main microtubule organizing center, or MTOC, in animal cells. It contains two cylindrical centrioles at its core. Each centriole has nine sets of three microtubules held together by proteins. The two centrioles sit at right angles and are surrounded by the pericentriolar matrix, or PCM, a shapeless protein cloud. Duplication starts early in the cell cycle so each daughter cell can receive a centrosome after...

microtubule instability

Microtubule Growth and Shrinkage

Microtubules are hollow, cylindrical filaments in the cell. They are about 25 nm wide and can range from 200 nm to 25 μm in length. Their main building blocks are GTP-bound tubulin subunits that form αβ-heterodimers, which then assemble into protofilaments. These protofilaments join by lateral bonds to create stable microtubule cylinders. Microtubules are highly dynamic because they repeatedly assemble and break down. They can even grow on one end while shrinking on the other at the same time.

spindle assembly

How the Mitotic Spindle Forms

The mitotic spindle forms through centrosome-mediated, chromatin-mediated, and microtubule-mediated pathways. These pathways often work at the same time. Together, they build a strong spindle apparatus for cell division. In most cells, centrosomes are the main sites where microtubules begin to grow. During the G2 to prophase transition, centrosomes mature and make more microtubules. The growing microtubules extend from both centrosomes, and their plus-ends search for chromosomes by attaching...

attachment of sister chromatids

Kinetochore-Microtubule Binding in Mitosis

Kinetochore-microtubule binding helps chromosomes line up and separate during mitosis. After the nuclear envelope breaks down, condensed chromosomes are exposed to the bipolar microtubules of the mitotic spindle. The kinetochore is a large, disc-shaped protein complex at the centromere region of each sister chromatid, and it serves as the microtubule binding site. Usually, the plus-end of a single microtubule inserts into the kinetochore. In some cases, a kinetochore first makes lateral...

forces acting on chromosomes

Chromosome Movement During Mitosis

Chromosome movement during mitosis depends on several small forces that act at different times and positions in the cell. In prometaphase, these forces help chromosomes move to the equatorial plane and line up at the metaphase plate. Because the forces change with location and stage, chromosome behavior also changes as mitosis continues. Microtubules and motor proteins create two main kinds of force on chromosomes: poleward force and anti-poleward force, also called polar-ejection force.

separation of sister chromatids

Anaphase Start and Chromatid Release

Anaphase starts when sister chromatids are released from one another and pulled toward opposite spindle poles. Before that happens, cohesion along the chromosomal arms is reduced from prophase to metaphase, which helps the sister chromatids resolve. A residual cohesin link still holds them together until the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. This leftover connection helps prevent early separation and reduces the risk of aneuploidy, or the wrong number of chromosomes, in daughter cells. At the...

the spindle assembly checkpoint

How Cells Safeguard Chromosome Separation

The spindle assembly checkpoint helps cells safeguard chromosome separation during anaphase. It acts as a molecular surveillance system. The checkpoint checks whether the steps needed for chromosome segregation are complete before the cell moves on. Many proteins work together to control this checkpoint. If mutations affect these proteins, a cell may enter anaphase too early. Chromosomes can then separate before the needed steps are finished. When this happens, the daughter cells may receive...

anaphase a and b

Chromatid Movement by Microtubule Forces

Chromatid movement during anaphase depends on microtubule forces at the spindle. Kinetochore microtubules grow from the spindle poles, and their plus ends attach to kinetochores on sister chromatids. The kinetochore protein complex Ndc80 makes low-affinity links with the microtubule plus end.

the contractile ring

How Cells Build the Contractile Ring

Contractile rings are built from microfilaments and help separate daughter cells during cytokinesis. This ring forms as the cell cycle moves forward, but the exact timing and coordination with other cell cycle events are still not fully understood. RhoA, a small GTPase in the Ras superfamily, controls contractile ring assembly and function. The inactive form of RhoA is bound to GDP. A guanine nucleotide exchange factor, or Rho-GEF, is located in the cortex region, where the next cell division...

determining the plane of cell division

How Cells Set the Division Plane

How cells set the division plane during cell division affects daughter cell size and, in many cases, cell fate. The plane of division is perpendicular to the plane of chromosome segregation. Different organisms use different cues to place it, based on their shape and needs. In animal cells, the cleavage furrow forms along the division plane from the cell cortex, the area just below the plasma membrane. The mitotic spindle is the main guide for this position. If the spindle axis changes, the...

the phragmoplast

How Plant Cells Build a New Wall

Plant cells build a new wall during cytokinesis with help from the phragmoplast. This plant structure forms from the central spindle and related cell parts as the cell finishes dividing. In animal cells, the comparable structure is the midbody, but in plants the phragmoplast expands outward to guide new wall formation. The mature phragmoplast has a donut-like shape. It has an outer leading region, a middle transition zone, and an inner lagging region. New microtubules are assembled...

distribution of cytoplasmic content

How Organelles Are Split During Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis splits a cell’s chromosomes and organelles into two daughter cells. Before cell division, organelles grow and divide. They cannot be made from scratch, so each daughter cell must inherit at least one copy to survive. Many details of this organelle sorting process are still not fully known. The cytoplasm contains organelles, salts, proteins, and water. Small organelles such as peroxisomes and lysosomes can be shared by simple diffusion. Because cells contain many copies of these...

anaphase promoting complex

APC Activates Chromosome Separation

The anaphase-promoting complex, or APC, helps control cell cycle progression by destroying specific proteins at the right time. These proteins are tagged with ubiquitin by ubiquitin ligases and then broken down by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) complex and APC are two major ubiquitin ligases involved in this process. SCF stays active throughout the cell cycle, but APC turns on during the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. APC becomes active when Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to it. These...
