Abstract
The interaction of nucleic acids with proteins plays an important role in many fundamental biological processes in living cells, including replication, transcription, and translation. Therefore, understanding nucleic acid-protein interaction is of high relevance in many areas of biology, medicine and technology. During almost four decades of its existence atomic force microscopy (AFM) accumulated a significant experience in investigation of biological molecules at a single-molecule level. AFM has become a powerful tool of molecular biology and biophysics providing unique information about properties, structure, and functioning of biomolecules. Despite a great variety of nucleic acid-protein systems under AFM investigations, there are a number of typical approaches for such studies. This review is devoted to the analysis of the typical AFM-based approaches of investigation of DNA (RNA)-protein complexes with a major focus on transcription studies. The basic strategies of AFM analysis of nucleic acid-protein complexes including investigation of the products of DNA-protein reactions and real-time dynamics of DNA-protein interaction are categorized and described by the example of the most relevant research studies. The described approaches and protocols have many universal features and, therefore, are applicable for future AFM studies of various nucleic acid-protein systems.

Nat Commun 2023; 14:1532. [PMID: 36941256 PMCID: PMC10027858 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-36996-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Interactions between membrane proteins are essential for cell survival but are often poorly understood. Even the biologically functional ratio of components within a multi-subunit membrane complex-the native stoichiometry-is difficult to establish. Here we demonstrate digital nanoreactors that can control interactions between lipid-bound molecular receptors along three key dimensions: stoichiometric, spatial, and temporal. Each nanoreactor is based on a DNA origami ring, which both templates the synthesis of a liposome and provides tethering sites for DNA-based receptors (modelling membrane proteins). Receptors are released into the liposomal membrane using strand displacement and a DNA logic gate measures receptor heterodimer formation. High-efficiency tethering of receptors enables the kinetics of receptors in 1:1 and 2:2 absolute stoichiometries to be observed by bulk fluorescence, which in principle is generalizable to any ratio. Similar single-molecule-in-bulk experiments using DNA-linked membrane proteins could determine native stoichiometry and the kinetics of membrane protein interactions for applications ranging from signalling research to drug discovery.

Abstract
DNA Holliday junction (HJ) is a four-way stranded DNA intermediate that formed in replication fork regression, homology-dependent repair and mitosis, performing a significant role in genomic stability. Failure to remove HJ can induce an acceptable replication fork stalling and DNA damage in normal cells, leading to a serious chromosomal aberration and even cell death in HJ nuclease-deficient tumor cells. Thus, HJ is becoming an attractive target in cancer therapy. However, the development of HJ-targeting ligand faces great challenges because of flexile cavities on the center of HJs. This review introduces the discovery history of HJ, elucidates the formation and dissociation procedures of HJ in corresponding bio-events, emphasizes the importance of prompt HJ-removing in genome stability, and summarizes recent advances in HJ-based ligand discovery. Our review indicate that target HJ is a promising approach in oncotherapy.

Abstract
Herein, we propose innovative deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based gels and their applications in diverse optoelectronics. We prepared the optoelectronic DNA-based gels (OpDNA Gel) through molecular complexation, that is, groove binding and ionic interactions of DNA and 1,1'-diheptyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (DHV). This process is feasible even with sequence-nonspecific DNA extracted from nature (e.g., salmon testes), resulting in the expansion of the application scope of DNA-based gels. OpDNA Gel possessed good mechanical characteristics (e.g., high compressibility, thermoplasticity, and outstanding viscoelastic properties) that have not been observed in typical DNA hydrogels. Moreover, the electrochromic (EC) characteristics of DHV were not lost when combined with OpDNA Gel. By taking advantage of the facile moldability, voltage-tunable EC behavior, and biocompatibility/biodegradability of OpDNA Gel, we successfully demonstrated its applicability in a variety of functional electrochemical systems, including on-demand information coding systems, user-customized EC displays, and microorganism monitoring systems. The OpDNA Gel is a promising platform for the application of DNA-based biomaterials in electrochemical optoelectronics.

Abstract
Photoresponsive nucleic acids attract growing interest as functional constituents in materials science. Integration of photoisomerizable units into DNA strands provides an ideal handle for the reversible reconfiguration of nucleic acid architectures by light irradiation, triggering changes in the chemical and structural properties of the nanostructures that can be exploited in the development of photoresponsive functional devices such as machines, origami structures and ion channels, as well as environmentally adaptable 'smart' materials including nanoparticle aggregates and hydrogels. Moreover, photoresponsive DNA components allow control over the composition of dynamic supramolecular ensembles that mimic native networks. Beyond this, the modification of nucleic acids with photosensitizer functionality enables these biopolymers to act as scaffolds for spatial organization of electron transfer reactions mimicking natural photosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these exciting developments in the design of photoresponsive DNA materials, and showcases a range of applications in catalysis, sensing and drug delivery/release. The key challenges facing the development of the field in the coming years are addressed, and exciting emergent research directions are identified.

Abstract
Natural living systems are driven by delicate protein networks whose functions are precisely controlled by many parameters, such as number, distance, orientation, and position. Focusing on regulation rather than just imitation, the construction of artificial protein networks is important in many research areas, including biomedicine, synthetic biology and chemical biology. DNA origami, sophisticated nanostructures with rational design, can offer predictable, programmable, and addressable scaffolds for protein assembly with nanometer precision. Recently, many interdisciplinary efforts have achieved the precise construction of DNA origami-based protein networks, and their emerging application in many areas. To inspire more fantastic research and applications, herein we highlight the applicability and potentiality of DNA origami-based protein networks. After a brief introduction to the development and features of DNA origami, some important factors for the precise construction of DNA origami-based protein networks are discussed, including protein-DNA conjugation methods, networks with different patterns and the controllable parameters in the networks. The discussion then focuses on the emerging application of DNA origami-based protein networks in several areas, including enzymatic reaction regulation, sensing, bionics, biophysics, and biomedicine. Finally, current challenges and opportunities in this research field are discussed.

Abstract
DNA replication, repair, and recombination in the cell play a significant role in the regulation of the inheritance, maintenance, and transfer of genetic information. To elucidate the biomolecular mechanism in the cell, some molecular models of DNA replication, repair, and recombination have been proposed. These biological studies have been conducted using bulk assays, such as gel electrophoresis. Because in bulk assays, several millions of biomolecules are subjected to analysis, the results of the biological analysis only reveal the average behavior of a large number of biomolecules. Therefore, revealing the elementary biological processes of a protein acting on DNA (e.g., the binding of protein to DNA, DNA synthesis, the pause of DNA synthesis, and the release of protein from DNA) is difficult. Single-molecule imaging allows the analysis of the dynamic behaviors of individual biomolecules that are hidden during bulk experiments. Thus, the methods for single-molecule imaging have provided new insights into almost all of the aspects of the elementary processes of DNA replication, repair, and recombination. However, in an aqueous solution, DNA molecules are in a randomly coiled state. Thus, the manipulation of the physical form of the single DNA molecules is important. In this review, we provide an overview of the unique studies on DNA manipulation and single-molecule imaging to analyze the dynamic interaction between DNA and protein.

Abstract
DNA methylation and demethylation play a key role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression; however, a series of oxidation reactions of 5-methyl cytosine (5mC) mediated by ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes driving demethylation process are yet to be uncovered. To elucidate the relationship between the oxidative processes and structural factors of DNA, we analysed the behavior of TET-mediated 5mC-oxidation by incorporating structural stress onto a substrate double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) using a DNA origami nanochip. The reactions and behaviors of TET enzymes were systematically monitored by biochemical analysis and single-molecule observation using atomic force microscopy (AFM). A reformative frame-like DNA origami was established to allow the incorporation of dsDNAs as 5mC-containing substrates in parallel orientations. We tested the potential effect of dsDNAs present in the tense and relaxed states within a DNA nanochip on TET oxidation. Based on enzyme binding and the detection of oxidation reactions within the DNA nanochip, it was revealed that TET preferred a relaxed substrate regardless of the modification types of 5-oxidated-methyl cytosine. Strikingly, when a multi-5mCG sites model was deployed to further characterize substrate preferences of TET, TET preferred the fully methylated site over the hemi-methylated site. This analytical modality also permits the direct observations of dynamic movements of TET such as sliding and interstrand transfer by high-speed AFM. In addition, the thymine DNA glycosylase-mediated base excision repair process was characterized in the DNA nanochip. Thus, we have convincingly established the system's ability to physically regulate enzymatic reactions, which could prove useful for the observation and characterization of coordinated DNA demethylation processes at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Structural DNA nanotechnology takes DNA, a biopolymer, far beyond being the molecule that stores and transmits genetic information in biological systems. DNA has been employed as building blocks for the assembly of designed, nanoscaled, supramolecular DNA architectures for applications in biophysics, structure determination, synthetic biology, diagnostics, and drug delivery. Herein, we review a symmetric approach of tile-based DNA self-assembly. This approach allows the construction of DNA nanostructures from minimal numbers of different types of DNA strands based on sequence and structural symmetries. Some examples of the applications of this approach in siRNA delivery are discussed as well.

Abstract
At its inception DNA nanotechnology was conceived as a tool for spatially arranging biological molecules in a programmable and deterministic way to improve their interrogation. To date, DNA nanotechnology has provided a versatile toolset of nanostructures and functional devices to augment traditional single molecule investigation approaches - including atomic force microscopy - by isolating, arranging and contextualising biological systems at the single molecule level. This review explores the state-of-the-art of DNA-based nanoscale tools employed to enhance and tune the interrogation of biological reactions, the study of spatially distributed pathways, the visualisation of enzyme interactions, the application and detection of forces to biological systems, and biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Herein, the direct visualization of the dynamic interaction between a photoresponsive transcription factor fusion, GAL4-VVD, and DNA using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is reported. A series of different GAL4-VVD movements, such as binding, sliding, stalling, and dissociation, was observed. Inter-strand jumping on two double-stranded (ds) DNAs was also observed. Detailed analysis using a long substrate DNA strand containing five GAL4-binding sites revealed that GAL4-VVD randomly moved on the dsDNA using sliding and hopping to rapidly find specific binding sites, and then stalled to the specific sites to form a stable complex formation. These results suggest the existence of different conformations of the protein to enable sliding and stalling. This single-molecule imaging system with nanoscale resolution provides an insight into the searching mechanism used by DNA-binding proteins.

Abstract
Direct visualization of the biomolecules of interest is a straightforward way to elucidate the physical properties of individual molecules and their reaction processes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables direct imaging of biomolecules in suitable solution conditions. As AFM visualizes the molecules at a nanometer-scale spatial resolution, a versatile observation platform is required for precise imaging of the molecules in action. The DNA origami technology allows precise placement of target molecules in a designed nanostructure, enabling their detection at the single-molecule level. We used DNA origami technology for visualizing the detailed movement of target molecules in reactions using high-speed AFM (HS-AFM), which enables the analysis of dynamic movement of biomolecules with a subsecond time resolution. By combining the DNA origami system and HS-AFM, DNA conformational changes, including G-quadruplex formation and disruption and B-Z transition, were visualized. In addition, enzyme-based reactions such as DNA recombination were also visualized at the single-molecule level using this combined observation system. Moreover, the enzyme-based reaction could be directly regulated in the DNA origami frame by imposing structural stress on the substrate DNAs to elucidate the reaction mechanism. These target-orientated observation systems should contribute to a detailed analysis of biomolecular motions in real time at molecular resolution.

Abstract
The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger and more complex structures has been achieved through decades of work on developing structural design principles. Concurrently, an increased focus has emerged on the applications of DNA nanostructures. In its nature, DNA is chemically inert and nanostructures based on unmodified DNA mostly lack function. However, functionality can be obtained through chemical modification of DNA nanostructures and the opportunities are endless. In this review, we discuss methodology for chemical functionalization of DNA nanostructures and provide examples of how this is being used to create functional nanodevices and make DNA nanostructures more applicable. We aim to encourage researchers to adopt chemical modifications as part of their work in DNA nanotechnology and inspire chemists to address current challenges and opportunities within the field.

Abstract
Self-assembled DNA origami nanostructures have a high degree of programmable spatial control that enables nanoscale molecular manipulations. A surface-tethered, flexible DNA nanomesh is reported herein which spontaneously undergoes sharp, dynamic conformational transitions under physiological conditions. The transitions occur between two major macrostates: a spread state dominated by the interaction between the DNA nanomesh and the BSA/streptavidin surface and a surface-avoiding contracted state. Due to a slow rate of stochastic transition events on the order of tens of minutes, the dynamic conformations of individual structures can be detected in situ with DNA PAINT microscopy. Time series localization data with automated imaging processing to track the dynamically changing radial distribution of structural markers are combined. Conformational distributions of tethered structures in buffers with elevated pH exhibit a calcium-dependent domination of the spread state. This is likely due to electrostatic interactions between the structures and immobilized surface proteins (BSA and streptavidin). An interaction is observed in solution under similar buffer conditions with dynamic light scattering. Exchanging between solutions that promote one or the other state leads to in situ sample-wide transitions between the states. The technique herein can be a useful tool for dynamic control and observation of nanoscale interactions and spatial relationships.

Abstract
Holliday junctions, four-stranded DNA structures formed during homologous recombination, are disentangled by resolvases that have been found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes but not in plant organelles. Here, we identify monokaryotic chloroplast 1 (MOC1) as a Holliday junction resolvase in chloroplasts by analyzing a green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutant defective in chloroplast nucleoid (DNA-protein complex) segregation. MOC1 is structurally similar to a bacterial Holliday junction resolvase, resistance to ultraviolet (Ruv) C, and genetically conserved among green plants. Reduced or no expression of MOC1 in Arabidopsis thaliana leads to growth defects and aberrant chloroplast nucleoid segregation. In vitro biochemical analysis and high-speed atomic force microscopic analysis revealed that A. thaliana MOC 1 (AtMOC1) binds and cleaves the core of Holliday junctions symmetrically. MOC1 may mediate chloroplast nucleoid segregation in green plants by resolving Holliday junctions.

Abstract
The nanoscale engineering of nucleic acids has led to exciting molecular technologies for high-end biological imaging. The predictable base pairing, high programmability, and superior new chemical and biological methods used to access nucleic acids with diverse lengths and in high purity, coupled with computational tools for their design, have allowed the creation of a stunning diversity of nucleic acid-based nanodevices. Given their biological origin, such synthetic devices have a tremendous capacity to interface with the biological world, and this capacity lies at the heart of several nucleic acid-based technologies that are finding applications in biological systems. We discuss these diverse applications and emphasize the advantage, in terms of physicochemical properties, that the nucleic acid scaffold brings to these contexts. As our ability to engineer this versatile scaffold increases, its applications in structural, cellular, and organismal biology are clearly poised to massively expand.

Abstract
RNA molecules uniquely form a complex through specific hairpin loops, called a kissing complex. The kissing complex is widely investigated and used for the construction of RNA nanostructures. Molecular switches have also been created by combining a kissing loop and a ligand-binding aptamer to control the interactions of RNA molecules. In this study, we incorporated two kinds of RNA molecules into a DNA origami structure and used atomic force microscopy to observe their ligand-responsive interactions at the single-molecule level. We used a designed RNA aptamer called GTPswitch, which has a guanosine triphosphate (GTP) responsive domain and can bind to the target RNA hairpin named Aptakiss in the presence of GTP. We observed shape changes of the DNA/RNA strands in the DNA origami, which are induced by the GTPswitch, into two different shapes in the absence and presence of GTP, respectively. We also found that the switching function in the nanospace could be improved by using a cover strand over the kissing loop of the GTPswitch or by deleting one base from this kissing loop. These newly designed ligand-responsive aptamers can be used for the controlled assembly of the various DNA and RNA nanostructures.

Abstract
Reversible pH-responsive dimer or trimer origami structures are assembled by bridging origami frames with pH-responsive units. The cyclic pH-stimulated separation and reassembly of dimer origami structures is demonstrated using i-motif or Hoogsteen-type (C-G·C+ or T-A·T) interactions. The duplex-bridged dimer T1-T2 is separated by the pH-induced formation of an i-motif structure (pH = 4.5), and the dimer is reassembled at pH = 7.0. The duplex-bridged dimer, T3-T4, is separated at pH = 4.5 through the formation of C-G·C+ triplex structures and is reassembled to the dimer at pH = 7.0. Similarly, the T-A·T triplex-bridged dimer, T5-T6, is separated at pH = 9.5 and is reassembled at neutral pH. Finally, a trimer, T3-T7-T6, that includes C-G·C+ and T-A·T pH-responsive bridges reveals pH-programmed cleavage to selectively yield the dimers T3-T7 or T7-T6, which reassemble to the trimer at pH = 7.0. A linear three-frame origami structure bridged by duplexes including caged i-motif units undergoes pH-stimulated isomerization to a bent structure (pH = 4.5) through the formation of i-motif complex and bridging T-A·T triplex units.

Abstract
Dimers of origami tiles are bridged by the Pb(2+)-dependent DNAzyme sequence and its substrate or by the histidine-dependent DNAzyme sequence and its substrate to yield the dimers T1-T2 and T3-T4, respectively. The dimers are cleaved to monomer tiles in the presence of Pb(2+)-ions or histidine as triggers. Similarly, trimers of origami tiles are constructed by bridging the tiles with the Pb(2+)-ion-dependent DNAzyme sequence and the histidine-dependent DNAzyme sequence and their substrates yielding the trimer T1-T5-T4. In the presence of Pb(2+)-ions and/or histidine as triggers, the programmed cleavage of trimer proceeds. Using Pb(2+) or histidine as trigger cleaves the trimer to yield T5-T4 and T1 or the dimer T1-T5 and T4, respectively. In the presence of Pb(2+)-ions and histidine as triggers, the cleavage products are the monomer tiles T1, T5, and T4. The different cleavage products are identified by labeling the tiles with 0, 1, or 2 streptavidin labels and AFM imaging.

Abstract
We report a DNA origami-facilitated single-molecule platform that exploits atomic force microscopy to study DNA replication. We imaged several functional activities of the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I (KF) including binding, moving, and dissociation from the template DNA. Upon completion of these actions, a double-stranded DNA molecule was formed. Furthermore, the direction of KF activities was captured and then confirmed by shifting the KF binding sites on the template DNA.

Abstract
The fields of molecular genetics, biotechnology and synthetic biology are demanding ever more sophisticated molecular tools for programmed precise modification of cell genomic DNA and other DNA sequences. This review presents the current state of knowledge and development of one important group of DNA-modifying enzymes, the site-specific recombinases (SSRs). SSRs are Nature's 'molecular machines' for cut-and-paste editing of DNA molecules by inserting, deleting or inverting precisely defined DNA segments. We survey the SSRs that have been put to use, and the types of applications for which they are suitable. We also discuss problems associated with uses of SSRs, how these problems can be minimized, and how recombinases are being re-engineered for improved performance and novel applications.

Abstract
In the present study, we demonstrate single-molecule imaging of triple helix formation in DNA nanostructures. The binding of the single-molecule third strand to double-stranded DNA in a DNA origami frame was examined using two different types of triplet base pairs. The target DNA strand and the third strand were incorporated into the DNA frame, and the binding of the third strand was controlled by the formation of Watson-Crick base pairing. Triple helix formation was monitored by observing the structural changes in the incorporated DNA strands. It was also examined using a photocaged third strand wherein the binding of the third strand was directly observed using high-speed atomic force microscopy during photoirradiation. We found that the binding of the third strand could be controlled by regulating duplex formation and the uncaging of the photocaged strands in the designed nanospace.

Abstract
We demonstrate the single-molecule operation and observation of the formation and resolution of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) containing a G-quadruplex (GQ) forming and counterpart i-motif forming sequence in the DNA nanostructure. Sequential manipulation of DNA strands in the DNA frame was performed to prepare a topologically controlled GQ/i-motif dsDNA. Using strand displacement and the addition and removal of K(+), the topologically controlled GQ/i-motif dsDNA in the DNA frame was obtained in high yield. The dsDNA was resolved into the single-stranded DNA, GQ, and i-motif by the addition of K(+) and operation in acidic conditions. The dissociation of the dsDNA under the GQ and i-motif formation condition was monitored by high-speed atomic force microscopy. The results indicate that the dsDNA containing the GQ- and i-motif sequence is effectively dissolved when the duplex is helically loosened in the DNA nanoscaffold.

Abstract
A light-driven artificial molecular nanomachine was constructed based on DNA scaffolding. Pyrene-modified walking strands and disulfide bond-connected stator strands, employed as anchorage sites to support walker movement, were assembled into a 2D DNA tile. Pyrene molecules excited by photoirradiation at 350 nm induced cleavage of disulfide bond-connected stator strands, enabling the DNA walker to migrate from one cleaved stator to the next on the DNA tile. The time-dependent movement of the walker was observed and the entire walking process of the walker was characterized by distribution of the walker-stator duplex at four anchorage sites on the tile under different irradiation times. Importantly, the light-fuelled mechanical movements on DNA tile were first visualized in real time during UV irradiation using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM).

Abstract
Recent advances in experimental DNA origami have dramatically expanded the horizon of DNA nanotechnology. Complex 3D suprastructures have been designed and developed using DNA origami with applications in biomaterial science, nanomedicine, nanorobotics, and molecular computation. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) origami has recently been realized as a new approach. Similar to DNA, RNA molecules can be designed to form complex 3D structures through complementary base pairings. RNA origami structures are, however, more compact and more thermodynamically stable due to RNA's non-canonical base pairing and tertiary interactions. With all these advantages, the development of RNA origami lags behind DNA origami by a large gap. Furthermore, although computational methods have proven to be effective in designing DNA and RNA origami structures and in their evaluation, advances in computational nucleic acid origami is even more limited. In this paper, we review major milestones in experimental and computational DNA and RNA origami and present current challenges in these fields. We believe collaboration between experimental nanotechnologists and computer scientists are critical for advancing these new research paradigms.

Abstract
We demonstrate the single-molecule imaging of the catalytic reaction of a Zn(2+)-dependent DNAzyme in a DNA origami nanostructure. The single-molecule catalytic activity of the DNAzyme was examined in the designed nanostructure, a DNA frame. The DNAzyme and a substrate strand attached to two supported dsDNA molecules were assembled in the DNA frame in two different configurations. The reaction was monitored by observing the configurational changes of the incorporated DNA strands in the DNA frame. This configurational changes were clearly observed in accordance with the progress of the reaction. The separation processes of the dsDNA molecules, as induced by the cleavage by the DNAzyme, were directly visualized by high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM). This nanostructure-based AFM imaging technique is suitable for the monitoring of various chemical and biochemical catalytic reactions at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
CONSPECTUS: Direct imaging of molecular motions is one of the most fundamental issues for elucidating the physical properties of individual molecules and their reaction mechanisms. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables direct molecular imaging, especially for biomolecules in the physiological environment. Because AFM can visualize the molecules at nanometer-scale spatial resolution, a versatile observation scaffold is needed for the precise imaging of molecule interactions in the reactions. The emergence of DNA origami technology allows the precise placement of desired molecules in the designed nanostructures and enables molecules to be detected at the single-molecule level. In our study, the DNA origami system was applied to visualize the detailed motions of target molecules in reactions using high-speed AFM (HS-AFM), which enables the analysis of dynamic motions of biomolecules in a subsecond time resolution. In this system, biochemical properties such as the placement of various double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs) containing unrestricted DNA sequences, modified nucleosides, and chemical functions can be incorporated. From a physical point of view, the tension and rotation of dsDNAs can be controlled by placement into the DNA nanostructures. From a topological point of view, the orientations of dsDNAs and various shapes of dsDNAs including Holliday junctions can be incorporated for studies on reaction mechanisms. In this Account, we describe the combination of the DNA origami system and HS-AFM for imaging various biochemical reactions including enzymatic reactions and DNA structural changes. To observe the behaviors and reactions of DNA methyltransferase and DNA repair enzymes, the substrate dsDNAs were incorporated into the cavity of the DNA frame, and the enzymes that bound to the target dsDNA were observed using HS-AFM. DNA recombination was also observed using the recombination substrates and Holliday junction intermediates placed in the DNA frame, and the direction of the reactions was controlled by introducing structural stress to the substrates. In addition, the movement of RNA polymerase and its reaction were visualized using a template dsDNA attached to the origami structure. To observe DNA structural changes, G-quadruplex formation and disruption, the switching behaviors of photoresponsive oligonucleotides, and B-Z transition were visualized using the DNA frame observation system. For the formation and disruption of G-quadruplex and double-helix DNA, the two dsDNA chains incorporated into the DNA frame could amplify the small structural change to the global structural change, which enabled the visualization of their association and dissociation by HS-AFM. The dynamic motion of the helical rotation induced by the B-Z transition was also directly imaged in the DNA frame. Furthermore, the stepwise motions of mobile DNA along the DNA track were visualized on the DNA origami surface. These target-orientated observation systems should contribute to the detailed analysis of biomolecule motions in real time and at molecular resolution.

Abstract
We report the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study Sox2-Pax6 complex formation on the regulatory DNA element at a single molecule level. Using an origami DNA scaffold containing two DNA strands with different levels of tensile force, we confirmed that DNA bending is necessary for Sox2 binding. We also demonstrated that two transcription factors bind cooperatively by observing the increased occupancy of Sox2-Pax6 on the DNA element compared to that of Sox2 alone.
