Esco1 Acetylates Cohesin via a Mechanism Different from That of Esco2

Abstract: Sister chromatid cohesion is mediated by cohesin and is essential for accurate chromosome segregation. The cohesin subunits SMC1, SMC3, and Rad21 form a tripartite ring within which sister chromatids are thought to be entrapped. This event requires the acetylation of SMC3 and the association of sororin with cohesin by the acetyltransferases Esco1 and Esco2 in humans, but the functional mechanisms of these acetyltransferases remain elusive. Here, we showed that Esco1 requires Pds5, a cohesin regulatory subunit … Show more

“…First, we discovered that Esco1 is selectively and ubiquitously recruited by cohesin, and moreover occupies its binding sites throughout the cell cycle. Comparable observations were made by Minamino et al and reported during revision of this study (46). Second, we found that depleting either Esco1 or cohesin had similar effects on transcription, mainly involving the up-regulation of Esco1-proximal genes.…”

“…Both ESCO1 and ESCO2 can acetylate SMC3 at K105 and K106, although ESCO1 can acetylate cohesin independently of DNA replication (Minamino et al 2015). The roles of vertebrate ESCO1, ESCO2, and SMC3 acetylation and their functional interplay in different processes related to proliferation have not been addressed to date, one of the reasons likely being related to the technical challenges of conditionally and concomitantly mutating/inactivating multiple genes in vertebrate cells.…”

“…Pds5A-and Pds5B-deficient mice have developmental abnormalities [63,64], and both Pds5A and Pds5B are shown to contribute to sister chromatid cohesion in mouse cells [63]. In human cells, Pds5 is required for Smc3 acetylation [65], suggesting that it should be required for cohesion establishment. However, only mild or no cohesion defects were observed in Pds5A and Pds5B-depleted human cells [59,65], possibly due to incomplete depletion and the dual roles of Pds5 in both cohesion establishment and resolution.…”

Further studies, such as in vitro biochemical reconstitution and structural analysis, are required to more clearly define the functions of Pds5 in sister chromatid cohesion.…”
