Abstract

Chromosome segregation requires the removal of cohesion and catenation between sister chromosomes, two physical linkages established during DNA replication. Two new studies reveal that, among other functions, the wings apart-like protein (Wapl) coordinates cohesin removal with decatenation of sister chromosomes during mitosis in mammalian cells.
