Abstract: Type III CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) systems confer antiviral immunity via cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) signaling. Here, we ...Type III CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) systems confer antiviral immunity via cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) signaling. Here, we elucidate a cooperative bacterial defense strategy involving two cOA-activated CRISPR-associated Rossmann fold (CARF)-containing effectors, adenosine deaminase CAAD and ribonuclease Csx1, in Thermoanaerobaculum aquaticum. Genomic analyses indicate widespread co-occurrence of CRISPR-associated adenosine deaminase (CAAD) with ancillary CARF-containing effectors in type III CRISPR systems, suggesting that multiple CARF-containing proteins may contribute to a coordinated cOA-dependent defense. Biochemical and structural studies reveal the intrinsic dynamics of CAAD hexamer, and demonstrate that cA4/cA6 binding stabilizes CAAD hexamers, triggering metal-ion-dependent conversion of ATP into inosine triphosphate. Concurrently, the downstream Csx1 is exclusively activated by cA4 to cleave single-stranded RNA. Strikingly, we found that both effectors are capable of degrading cA4, suggesting that this CAAD-Csx1 pair may be cross-regulated and achieve immunity through a dual-targeting mechanism: in response to infection, Csx1 degrades viral RNA while CAAD disrupts nucleotide metabolism via ATP deamination, which can be relieved via cA4 degradation when infection has been eliminated. This study proposes an enhanced defense mechanism through coordinated activation and regulation of multiple CRISPR effectors by a single signaling molecule, unveiling unprecedented complexity in CRISPR immunoregulation.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
