Structure of Thermus Thermophilus Cse3 bound to an RNA representing a pre-cleavage complex
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21572444
Function
[Q53WG9_THET8] CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat), is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA). Processes pre-crRNA into individual crRNA units, but may not actually undergo enzyme turnover, retaining the crRNA product. Generates a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester.[1] [2]
