Here, we report the characterization of the Candidatus Cloacimonas acidaminovorans CalpL-CalpT-CalpS. We demonstrate that cA binding triggers CalpL filament formation and activates it to cleave CalpT within the CalpT-CalpS dimer. This cleavage exposes the CalpT C-degron, which targets it for further degradation by cellular proteases. Consequently, CalpS is released to bind to RNA polymerase, causing growth arrest in E. coli. Furthermore, the CalpL-CalpT-CalpS system is regulated by the SAVED domain of CalpL, which is a ring nuclease that cleaves cA in a sequential three-step mechanism. These findings provide key mechanistic details for the activation, proteolytic events, and regulation of the signaling cascade in the type III CRISPR-Cas immunity. |
