Single-Molecule Imaging Reveals DNA Shape Read-out by the INO80 Chromatin Remodeler

Johannes Stigler, Garp Linder, Daniela Horky, Sarah Zernia

This study uses single-molecule imaging to show INO80 chromatin remodeler recognizes DNA shape features and interacts with nucleosomes and barrier factors to position them accurately.
