The two Condensin complexes in human cells are essential for mitotic chromosome structure. We used homozygous genome editing to fluorescently tag Condensin I and II subunits and mapped their absolute abundance, spacing, and dynamic localization during mitosis by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FSC)-calibrated live-cell imaging and superresolution microscopy. Although similar to 35,000 Condensin II complexes are stably bound to chromosomes throughout mitosis, similar to 195,000 Condensin I complexes dynamically bind in two steps: prometaphase and early anaphase. The two Condensins rarely colocalize at the chromatid axis, where Condensin II is centrally confined, but Condensin I reaches similar to 50% of the chromatid diameter from its center. Based on our comprehensive quantitative data, we propose a three-step hierarchical loop model of mitotic chromosome compaction: Condensin II initially fixes loops of a maximum size of similar to 450 kb at the chromatid axis, whose size is then reduced by Condensin I binding to similar to 90 kb in prometaphase and similar to 70 kb in anaphase, achieving maximum chromosome compaction upon sister chromatid segregation.
