Cohesin cleavage by separase is enhanced by a substrate motif distinct from the cleavage site
Prior to anaphase, securin binds separase and thereby prevents cohesin cleavage. Here, the authors develop a method to produce active securin-free separase, identify a docking motif in cohesin that promotes cleavage, and show that securin interferes with this interaction.
