Triplex DNA structures, formed when a third DNA strand wraps around the major groove of DNA, are key molecular regulators and genomic threats. However, the regulatory network governing triplex DNA dynamics remains poorly understood. Here we reveal the binding and functional repertoire of proteins that interact with triplex DNA through chemoproteomic profiling in living cells. We develop a chemical probe that exhibits exceptional specificity towards triplex DNA. By employing a co-binding-mediated proximity capture strategy, we enrich triplex DNA interactome for quantitative proteomics analysis. This enables the identification of a comprehensive list of proteins that interact with triplex DNA, characterized by diverse binding properties and regulatory mechanisms in their native chromatin context. As a demonstration, we validate DDX3X as an ATP-independent triplex DNA helicase to unwind substrates with a 5' overhang to prevent DNA damage. Overall, our study provides a valuable resource for exploring the biology and translational potential of triplex DNA.
