Cohesin is a DNA translocase that is instrumental in the folding of the genome into chromatin loops, with functional consequences on DNA-related processes. Chromatin loop length and organization likely depend on cohesin processivity, translocation rate and stability on DNA. Here, we investigate and provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of various cohesin regulators in tuning chromatin loop expansion in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We demonstrate that Scc2, which stimulates cohesin ATPase activity, is also essential for cohesin translocation, driving loop expansion in vivo. Smc3 acetylation during the S phase counteracts this activity through the stabilization of Pds5, which finely tunes the size and stability of loops in G2.

The elevated level of replication stress is an intrinsic characteristic of cancer cells. Targeting the mechanisms that maintain genome stability to further increase replication stress and thus induce severe genome instability has become a promising approach for cancer treatment. Here, we identify histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) as a drug target whose inactivation synergized with the inhibition of checkpoint kinases to elicit substantial replication stress and compromise genome integrity selectively in cancer cells.

Zinc finger protein 521 (ZNF521) participates in the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells, and its abnormal expression has been implicated to promote leukemia. However, the specific role of ZNF521 in leukemia has not been fully understood. In this study, we aimed to further elucidate its role.

HDAC8, a member of class I HDACs, plays a pivotal role in cell cycle regulation by deacetylating the cohesin subunit SMC3. While cyclins and CDKs are well-established cell cycle regulators, our knowledge of other regulators remains limited. Here we reveal the acetylation of K202 in HDAC8 as a key cell cycle regulator responsive to stress.

HDAC8 plays crucial roles in biological processes, from gene regulation to cell motility, making it a highly desirable target for therapeutic intervention. HDAC8 also has deacetylase-independent activity which cannot be blocked by a conventional inhibitor. In this study, we report the discovery of YX862, a highly potent and selective hydrazide-based HDAC8-proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader.

In dividing cells, accurate chromosome segregation depends on sister chromatid cohesion, protein linkages that are established during DNA replication. Faithful chromosome segregation in oocytes requires that cohesion, first established in S phase, remain intact for days to decades, depending on the organism. Premature loss of meiotic cohesion in oocytes leads to the production of aneuploid gametes and contributes to the increased incidence of meiotic segregation errors as women age (maternal age effect).
