Abstract excerpt
Type III CRISPR systems are defined by the presence of the Cas10 protein and are among the most abundant CRISPR systems in nature. Cas10 forms a complex with crRNA and several Cas proteins that surveils prokaryotic cells for foreign RNA molecules and when they are detected it activates a cascade of interference activities. The synthesis of the cyclic oligoadenylate signalling molecule by Cas10 is a key aspect of...
