Counteraction of HMGB1 at ss-dsDNA junctions maintains liquidity of protamine-DNA co-condensates

Vikhyaat Ahlawat, Divya Kota, Huan‐Xiang Zhou

This study shows HMGB1 counteracts protamine to maintain liquid DNA condensates, facilitating DNA repair by preventing tangle formation.

Measuring bridging forces in protein-DNA condensates

Vikhyaat Ahlawat, Hashini Ekanayake Mudiyanselage, Divya Kota, Huan‐Xiang Zhou

This paper measures bridging forces in protein-DNA condensates using optical tweezers and shows that the ssDNA-to-dsDNA ratio affects force magnitude.
