UV crosslinking works great for protein-RNA complexes, but DNA is much less photo-reactive and photo-crosslinking not commonly used. Analogous, we find that the photo-activatable nucleotide 4ST (DNA) is about ten times less reactive than the commonly used 4SU (RNA). (1/n)

Unlike natural DNA, 4ST can be activated by wavelengths far outside the absorption range of most natural biomolecules. This avoids photodamage, allowing us to use high-power LEDs, with ~1000-fold higher intensity than conventional bulbs, for activating 4ST in living cells (www.uven.org). (2/n)

To analyze protein photo-crosslinked to DNA by proteomics, we develop XDNAX: protein-crosslinked DNA extraction. (3/n)

XDNAX extracts are very clean and we discover previously elusive peptide-DNA crosslinks within them. They pinpoint protein-DNA interaction sites to individual amino acids. (4/n)

In contrast to formaldehyde crosslinking, photo-crosslinking only captures direct interactions (‘zero-distance’). The proteins we find in close proximity to DNA show very high degrees of intrinsic disorder. In fact, intrinsic disorder rises the closer proteins localize to DNA. (5/n)
