Figure 7. Smc3 Acetylation Cycle.

Figure 7

During S phase, Eco1 acetylates Smc3. This reaction is required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion. In G2/M phases, cohesion has been established, and we propose that Smc3 acetylation may act to stabilize it. At the metaphase-to-anaphase transition, separase cleavage of Scc1 allows Hos1 to deacetylate Smc3.
