Citation | Journal: Mol Cell / Year: 2020Title: Structures of the Cmr-β Complex Reveal the Regulation of the Immunity Mechanism of Type III-B CRISPR-Cas. Authors: Nicholas Sofos / Mingxia Feng / Stefano Stella / Tillmann Pape / Anders Fuglsang / Jinzhong Lin / Qihong Huang / Yingjun Li / Qunxin She / Guillermo Montoya / ![]() Abstract: Cmr-β is a type III-B CRISPR-Cas complex that, upon target RNA recognition, unleashes a multifaceted immune response against invading genetic elements, including single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) ...Cmr-β is a type III-B CRISPR-Cas complex that, upon target RNA recognition, unleashes a multifaceted immune response against invading genetic elements, including single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) cleavage, cyclic oligoadenylate synthesis, and also a unique UA-specific single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) hydrolysis by the Cmr2 subunit. Here, we present the structure-function relationship of Cmr-β, unveiling how binding of the target RNA regulates the Cmr2 activities. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis revealed the unique subunit architecture of Cmr-β and captured the complex in different conformational stages of the immune response, including the non-cognate and cognate target-RNA-bound complexes. The binding of the target RNA induces a conformational change of Cmr2, which together with the complementation between the 5' tag in the CRISPR RNAs (crRNA) and the 3' antitag of the target RNA activate different configurations in a unique loop of the Cmr3 subunit, which acts as an allosteric sensor signaling the self- versus non-self-recognition. These findings highlight the diverse defense strategies of type III complexes. #1: Journal: Biorxiv / Year: 2020Title: Structures of the Cmr-beta Complex Reveal the Regulation of the Immunity Mechanism of Type III-B CRISPR-Cas Authors: Sofos, N. / Feng, M. / Stella, S. / Pape, T. / Fuglsang, A. / Lin, J. / Huang, Q. / Li, Y. / She, Q. / Montoya, G. | ||||||||||||
