Abstract excerpt
Specialized RNA endonucleases are critical for efficient activity of the CRISPR-Cas defense mechanisms against invading DNA or RNA. Cas6-type enzymes are the RNA endonucleases in many type I and type III CRISPR-Cas systems. These enzymes are diverse and critical residues involved in the recognition and cleavage of RNA substrates are not universally conserved. Cas6 endonucleases associated with the CRISPR-Cas...
