Disease relevance of Rad21

  • Using antibodies against pokeweed agglutinin-binding proteins from F9 embryonal carcinoma cells, we isolated a cDNA clone PW29 reacting with the antibody. mRNA hybridizing with the cDNA was 4.7 kb, and was strongly expressed in the testis, brain, kidney and heart as well as in F9 cells [1].
 

High impact information on Rad21

 

Biological context of Rad21

  • A new role for the mitotic RAD21/SCC1 cohesin in meiotic chromosome cohesion and segregation in the mouse [4].
  • Importantly, RAD21/SCC1 is lost from chromosome arms in late prophase I but persists on centromeres [4].
  • The mSMCB and mSMCD proteins, as well as the PW29 protein, a mouse homolog of Mcd1pS.c./Rad21S.p., form a complex similar to cohesin in X. laevis. mSMCB, mSMCD and PW29 protein levels show no significant cell-cycle dependence [5].
