This study reveals how ATRX modulates chromatin by unwrapping nucleosomal DNA through a unique 'pin-like' structure and other features, proposing a 'climbing' mechanism for DNA translocation.

This study identifies PI(3)P binding to the 53BP1 tBRCT domain as essential for promoting 53BP1 condensate-like assembly at DNA double-strand breaks.

The paper shows that large DNA viruses encode fused histone doublets that are targeted to viral factories and assemble into open nucleosome-like structures.
