Hancock S, Cascio D, Johnson R
Nucleic Acids Res . 2019 Oct; 47(16):8874-8887. PMID: 31616952
Localized arrays of proteins cooperatively assemble onto chromosomes to control DNA activity in many contexts. Binding cooperativity is often mediated by specific protein-protein interactions, but cooperativity through DNA structure is...

Chen W, Mandali S, Hancock S, Kumar P, Collazo M, Cascio D, et al.
Elife . 2018 Oct; 7. PMID: 30289389
IS-family transposons are unusual because they do not have terminal inverted repeats or generate target site duplications. They encode two protein-coding genes, but only is required for transposition. Our X-ray...
