Anti-CRISPRdb: a comprehensive online resource for anti-CRISPR proteins
CRISPR-Cas is a tool that is widely used for gene editing. However, unexpected off-target effects may occur as a result of long-term nuclease activity. Anti-CRISPR proteins, which are powerful molecules that inhibit the CRISPR-Cas system, may have the potential to promote better utilization of the CRISPR-Cas system in gene editing, especially for gene therapy. Additionally, more in-depth resear...
متن کاملPhages Fight Back: Inactivation of the CRISPR-Cas Bacterial Immune System by Anti-CRISPR Proteins
Phage infection poses a major threat to bacterial survival, and bacteria have evolved many mechanisms to protect against it. One such system is the CRISPR-Cas system, which utilizes sequence memory to protect bacteria from phage infection. CRISPR-Cas is a highly specific adaptive defense mechanism that protects against invasion by all mobile genetic elements, including phages, plasmids, and con...
متن کاملThe Small, Slow and Specialized CRISPR and Anti-CRISPR of Escherichia and Salmonella
Prokaryotes thrive in spite of the vast number and diversity of their viruses. This partly results from the evolution of mechanisms to inactivate or silence the action of exogenous DNA. Among these, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) are unique in providing adaptive immunity against elements with high local resemblance to genomes of previously infecting agents. H...
متن کاملDisabling a Type I-E CRISPR-Cas Nuclease with a Bacteriophage-Encoded Anti-CRISPR Protein
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)-Cas adaptive immune systems are prevalent defense mechanisms in bacteria and archaea. They provide sequence-specific detection and neutralization of foreign nucleic acids such as bacteriophages and plasmids. One mechanism by which phages and other mobile genetic elements are able to overcome the CRISPR-Cas system is through the e...
متن کاملThe solution structure of an anti-CRISPR protein
Bacterial CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems use small guide RNAs to protect against phage infection and invasion by foreign genetic elements. We previously demonstrated that a group of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages encode anti-CRISPR proteins that inactivate the type I-F and I-E CRISPR-Cas systems using distinct mechanisms. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of an anti-CRISPR pro...
