Assembly path dependence of telomeric DNA compaction by TRF1, TIN2, and SA1
BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL, 122(10), 1822–1832.
TL;DR:
It is found that TRF1, TIN2, and SA1 work synergistically to cause a compaction of the DNA substrate, and that maximal compaction occurs if all three proteins are present.

Densely methylated DNA traps Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 but permits free diffusion by Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3
JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY, 298(10).

TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that ATTO 565-labeled MBD2 is a good candidate as a staining agent for epigenetic mapping and determined that the mechanism for compaction by MeCP2 is the formation of bridges between distant DNA stretches and theformation of loops.

Single-molecule level structural dynamics of DNA unwinding by human mitochondrial Twinkle helicase
JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY, 295(17), 5564–5576.
author keywords: atomic force microscopy (AFM); DNA binding protein; DNA helicase; DNA replication; mitochondrial disease; mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA); single-molecule biophysics; ssDNA-binding protein (SSB); structural dynamics; Twinkle helicase

TL;DR:
Atomic force microscopy imaging in air and liquids is employed to visualize ring assembly, DNA binding, and unwinding activity of individual Twinkle hexamers at the single-molecule level and finds that the addition of mitochondrial single-stranded DNA–binding protein both influences the ways Twinkle loads onto defined DNA substrates and stabilizes the unwound ssDNA product.

TL;DR:
Single-molecule imaging suggests mtSSB may not saturate or fully protect single-stranded replication intermediates during mtDNA synthesis, leaving the mitochondrial genome vulnerable to chemical mutagenesis, deletions driven by primer relocation or other actions consistent with clinically observed deletion biases.

Functional interplay between SA1 and TRF1 in telomeric DNA binding and DNA-DNA pairing
NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 44(13), 6363–6376.
