CRISPR clusters contain sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA). Cas1 is thought to be involved in CRISPR adaptation, the first stage of CRISPR immunity. Might be involved in the addition/removal of CRISPR spacers. Endonucleolytically cleaves linear ssRNA, ssDNA and short (34 base) dsDNA as well as branched DNA substrates such as Holliday junctions, replication forks and 5'-flap DNA substrates. Genetic interactions suggest Cas1 interacts with components of the RecBC and RuvB DNA repair systems.<ref>PMID:21255106</ref> |
