Abstract
Summary: Condensin complexes have been proposed to play a prominent role in interphase chromatin organization and control of gene expression. Here, we report that the deletion of the central condensin II kleisin subunit Ncaph2 in differentiated mouse hepatocytes does not lead to significant changes in chromosome organization or in gene expression. Both observations challenge current views that implicate condensin in interphase chromosomal domain formation and in enhancer-promoter interactions. Instead, we suggest that the previously reported effects of condensin perturbation may result from their structural role during mitosis, which might indirectly impact the re-establishment of interphase chromosomal architecture after cell division.Keywords
