Abstract excerpt
Type I-E CRISPR-Cas (CRISPR associated) systems direct RNA-guided interference against foreign nucleic acids using the CRISPR RNA (crRNA)-guided Cascade complex and Cas3 helicase-nuclease. DNA targeting by Cascade-Cas3 promotes priming, a mechanism that allows for rapid acquisition of new spacers within the CRISPR array. Target mutations in the protospacer adjacent motif and protospacer adjacent motif-proximal...
