Abstract
During meiosis, sister chromatids produced by chromosome duplication are held together by Rec8, a meiosis-specific cohesion protein. Rec8 joins the whole length of the sister chromatids together, and, as meiosis proceeds, is lost in a stepwise manner that correlates with the loss of sister-chromatid cohesion.
