Chromosome condensation is regulated by the condensin complex but whether this process is subject to transcriptional control is poorly understood. In this issue, Schiklenk et al. (2018. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201711097) reveal that the transcription factor Zas1 mediates timely chromosome condensation and promotes transcription of several genes in , including the condensin subunit Cnd1.
