Sister chromatids, the products of eukaryotic DNA replication, are held together after their synthesis by the chromosomal cohesin complex. This allows the spindle in mitosis to recognise pairs of replication products for segregation into opposite direction. Cohesin forms large protein rings that may bind DNA strands by encircling, but the characterisation of cohesin binding to chromosomes in vivo has remained vague. Here, we present high resolution analysis of cohesin association along budding yeast chromosomes III – VI. Cohesin localises almost exclusively between genes transcribed in converging direction. We find that not the underlying sequence, but active transcription positions cohesin at these sites. Cohesin is initially loaded onto chromosomes at separate places, marked by the Scc2/Scc4 cohesin loading complex, from where it appears to slide to its more permanent locations. But even after sister chromatid cohesion is established changes in transcription lead to repositioning of cohesin. Thus a key architectural feature of mitotic chromosomes, the sites of cohesin binding and therefore most likely sister chromatid cohesion, display surprising flexibility. Cohesin localisation to places of convergent transcription is conserved in fission yeast, suggesting that it is a common feature of eukaryotic chromosomes.
