Duplex DNA and BLM regulate gate opening by the human TopoIIIα-RMI1-RMI2 complex
Here the authors probe the cleavage and gate opening of single-stranded DNA by the human topoisomerase TRR using a unique single-molecule strategy to reveal structural plasticity in response to both double-stranded DNA and the helicase BLM.

New insights on single-stranded versus double-stranded DNA library preparation for ancient DNA
An innovative single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) library preparation method has sparked great interest among ancient DNA (aDNA) researchers, especially after reports of endogenous DNA content increases >20-fold in some samples.

DNA replication is required for the checkpoint response to damaged DNA in Xenopus egg extracts. [PDF]
Alkylating agents, such as methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), damage DNA and activate the DNA damage checkpoint. Although many of the checkpoint proteins that transduce damage signals have been identified and characterized, the mechanism that senses the ...

Single-stranded and double-stranded DNA-binding protein prediction using HMM profiles
Background: DNA-binding proteins perform important roles in cellular processes and are involved in many biological activities. These proteins include crucial protein-DNA binding domains and can interact with single-stranded or double-stranded DNA, and ...

hSSB1 rapidly binds at the sites of DNA double-strand breaks and is required for the efficient recruitment of the MRN complex [PDF]
hSSB1 is a newly discovered single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein that is essential for efficient DNA double-strand break signalling through ATM. However, the mechanism by which hSSB1 functions to allow efficient signalling is unknown.
