A snip separates sisters

Abstract

During cell division, each chromosome replicates to form a pair of sister chromosomes that move apart to opposite poles of the cell. It's important that these sisters are linked during the early stages of division, and that this linkage is dissolved later on. The events responsible for dissolving the sister-chromosome linkage have now been worked out, and they revolve around cleavage of a protein called Scc1.
