CTCF is a DNA-tension-dependent barrier to cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion

I. F. Davidson, R. Barth, M. Zaczek, J. van der Torre, W. Tang, K. Nagasaka, R. Janissen, J. Kerssemakers, G. Wutz, C. Dekker, J.-M. Peters

The paper shows CTCF blocks cohesin-mediated DNA loop extrusion and regulates its direction and loop size, revealing it as an active regulator rather than a passive barrier.

Directing Min protein patterns with advective bulk flow

S. Meindlhumer, F. Brauns, J. R. Finzgar, J. Kerssemakers, C. Dekker, E. Frey

The paper shows that hydrodynamic bulk flow can control the direction of Min protein pattern propagation in vitro, with downstream propagation at low MinE:MinD ratios and upstream propagation at high ratios.

Real-time detection of condensin-driven DNA compaction reveals a multistep binding mechanism

J. M. Eeftens, S. Bisht, J. Kerssemakers, C. Haering, C. Dekker

This study uses single-molecule magnetic tweezers to show condensin compacts DNA in large steps, requiring ATP hydrolysis for stable binding and compaction.
