Summary

A two-step model for the sequential release of centromeric cohesion during male mammalian meiosis II is proposed and it is suggested that the cohesin removal is a prerequisite for the posterior topoisomerase IIα-mediated resolution of persisting catenations between segregating chromatids during anaphase II.
