M. tuberculosis CRISPR/Cas proteins are secreted virulence factors that trigger cellular immune responses
9 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
The role of prokaryotic CRISPR/Cas system proteins as a defensive shield against invasive nucleic acids has been studied extensively. Non-canonical roles in pathogenesis involving intracellular targeting of certain virulence-associated endogenous mRNA have also been reported for some Type I and Type II CRISPR/Cas proteins, but no such roles have yet been established for Type III system proteins. Here, we...
