Figure 5. Cohesion can also be established by CTF18-RFC and Scc2 dependent de novo loading of nucleoplasmic cohesin.

(A) Wild type (K24697), chl1Δ (K28175), ctf4Δ (K28275), csm3Δ (K28282) and tof1Δ (K28280) strains that contain genes coding for 6C non cleavable cohesin (2C SMC1 2C SMC3 and GALp-2C SCC1NC) were arrested in G1 phase, the expression of 2C Scc1NC was induced by addition of galactose for 15 min. The cultures were released from the G1 arrest into medium containing galactose in order to ensure constant expression of Scc1NC during DNA replication, mini-chromosome IP of the cultures after replication shows CM and CD formation in all the strains. Data shown is representative of two independent biological repeats. (B) chl1Δ (K28175) and chl1Δ scc2-45 (K28061) strains that contain genes coding for 6C non-cleavable cohesin (2C SMC1 2C SMC3 and GALp-2C SCC1NC) were arrested in G1 phase, the expression of 2C Scc1NC was induced by addition of galactose for 15 min. The cultures were released from the G1 arrest into medium containing galactose in order to ensure constant expression of Scc1NC during DNA replication at 37°C (in order to inactivate Scc2 in the scc2-45 strain). Mini-chromosome IP of the cultures after replication shows CM and CD formation in the chl1Δ while in the chl1Δ scc2-45 we failed to IP any mini-chromosome DNA. Data shown is representative of two independent biological repeats. (C) chl1Δ (K28175) and chl1Δ ctf8-17 (K28295) strains that contain genes coding for 6C non cleavable cohesin (2C SMC1 2C SMC3 and GALp-2C SCC1NC) were arrested in G1 phase, the expression of 2C Scc1NC was induced by addition of galactose for 15 min. The cultures were released from the G1 arrest into medium containing galactose in order to ensure constant expression of Scc1NC during DNA replication at 37°C (in order to inactivate Ctf8 in the ctf8-17 strain). Mini-chromosome IP of the cultures after replication shows CM and CD formation in the chl1Δ. While the chl1Δ ctf8-17 strains showed the presence of CMs, the level of CDs was greatly reduced. Data shown is representative of two independent biological repeats.

(A) chl1Δ (K28175) and chl1Δ scc2-45 (K28061) cultures from the final step of the experiment described in Figure 5B were analysed by western botting against the indicated antibodies and in (B), the genomic DNAs from these cultures were analysed by southern blotting against the TRP probe to detect the mini-chromosome. (C) Tetrad analysis of the haploids resulting from a cross of mrc1Δ and chl1Δ strains, the genotypes of selected haploid spores are indicated. (D) Tetrad analysis of the haploids resulting from a cross of chl1Δ and ctf18Δ strains, the genotypes of selected haploid spores are indicated. (E) FACS profiles of the chl1Δ (K28175) and chl1Δ ctf8-17 (K28295) cultures from the end of the experiment described in Figure 5C.
