Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10958694}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10958694}. Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10958694}. Note=In interphase cells, the majority of the condensin complex is found in the cytoplasm, while a minority of the complex is associated with chromatin. A subpopulation of the complex however remains associated with chromosome foci in interphase cells. During mitosis, most of the condensin complex is associated with the chromatin. At the onset of prophase, the regulatory subunits of the complex are phosphorylated by CDC2, leading to condensin's association with chromosome arms and to chromosome condensation. Dissociation from chromosomes is observed in late telophase.
