Loss of Cell Cycle Checkpoint Control in Drosophila Rfc4 Mutants (2001)
Journal Article
Krause, S. A., Loupart, M., Vass, S., Schoenfelder, S., Harrison, S., & Heck, M. M. S. (2001). Loss of Cell Cycle Checkpoint Control in Drosophila Rfc4 Mutants. Molecular and Cellular Biology, 21(15), 5156-5168. doi:10.1128/mcb.21.15.5156-5168.2001

Two alleles of the Drosophila melanogaster Rfc4(DmRfc4) gene, which encodes subunit 4 of the replication factor C (RFC) complex, cause striking defects in mitotic chromosome cohesion and condensation. These mutations produce larval phenotypes consist... Read More about Loss of Cell Cycle Checkpoint Control in Drosophila Rfc4 Mutants.

A role for Drosophila SMC4 in the resolution of sister chromatids in mitosis (2001)
Journal Article
Steffensen, S., Coelho, P. A., Cobbe, N., Vass, S., Costa, M., Hassan, B., …Sunkel, C. E. (2001). A role for Drosophila SMC4 in the resolution of sister chromatids in mitosis. Current Biology. 11. (5). 295-307. doi:10.1016/s0960-9822(01)00096-3. ISSN 0960-9822.

Background: Faithful segregation of the genome during mitosis requires interphase chromatin to be condensed into well-defined chromosomes. Chromosome condensation involves a multiprotein complex known as condensin that associates with chromatin early...
