The 2μm circle is a highly persistent “selfish” DNA element resident in theSaccharomyces cerevisiaenucleus whose stability approaches that of the chromosomes. The plasmid partitioning system, consisting of two plasmid-encoded proteins, Rep1p and Rep2p, and acis-acting locus,STB, apparently feeds into the chromosome segregation pathway. The Rep proteins assist the recruitment of the yeast cohesin complex toSTBduring the S phase, presumably to apportion the replicated plasmid molecules equally to daughter cells. The DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions of the partitioning system, as well as the chromatin organization atSTB, are important for cohesin recruitment. Rep1p variants that are incompetent in binding to Rep2p,STB, or both fail to assist the assembly of the cohesin complex atSTBand are nonfunctional in plasmid maintenance. Preventing the cohesin-STBassociation without impeding Rep1p-Rep2p-STBinteractions also causes plasmid missegregation. During the yeast cell cycle, the Rep1p and Rep2p proteins are expelled fromSTBduring a short interval between the late G1and early S phases. This dissociation and reassociation event ensures that cohesin loading atSTBis replication dependent and is coordinated with chromosomal cohesin recruitment. In anrsc2Δ yeast strain lacking a specific chromatin remodeling complex and exhibiting a high degree of plasmid loss, neither Rep1p nor the cohesin complex can be recruited toSTB. The phenotypes of the Rep1p mutations and of thersc2Δ mutant are consistent with the role of cohesin in plasmid partitioning being analogous to that in chromosome partitioning.
