Although previous studies suggested it has dual functions, the structural and biochemical basis for its two activities remains unclear. Here, we determined the cryo-EM structure of AcrIIA15 in complex with SaCas9-sgRNA to reveal the inhibitory mechanism of the Acr's C-terminal domain (CTD) in mimicking dsDNA to block protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) recognition. For the N-terminal domain (NTD), our crystal structures of the AcrIIA15-promoter DNA show that AcrIIA15 dimerizes through its NTD to recognize double-stranded (ds) DNA. Further, AcrIIA15 can simultaneously bind to both SaCas9-sgRNA and promoter DNA, creating a supercomplex of two Cas9s bound to two CTDs converging on a dimer of the NTD bound to a dsDNA. These findings shed light on AcrIIA15's inhibitory mechanisms and its autoregulation of transcription, enhancing our understanding of phage-host interactions and CRISPR defense. |
