Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> Cas9 variants provide insight into programmable gene repression and CRISPR-Cas transcriptional effects
2023-05-24
Abstract excerpt
Group B Streptococcus (GBS; S. agalactiae ) causes chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, and can also cause disease in healthy or immunocompromised adults. GBS possesses a type II-A CRISPR-Cas9 system, which defends against foreign DNA within the bacterial cell. Several recent publications have shown that GBS Cas9 influences genome-wide transcription through a mechanism uncoupled from its function as a specific, RN...
