Structural and Mechanistic Analyses Reveal a Unique Cas4-like Protein in the Mimivirus Virophage Resistance Element System.
Iscience, 3:1-10, 2018

PubMed Abstract: A clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-like "mimivirus virophage resistance element" (MIMIVIRE) system, which contains specific cascade genes and a CRISPR array against virophages, was reported in mimiviruses. An essential component of the MIMIVIRE system is R354, encoding a nuclease and a likely functional homolog of Cas4. Here we show that R354 is a dual nuclease with both exonuclease and endonuclease activities. Structural analysis revealed that the catalytic core domain of R354 is similar to those of Cas4 and ? exonuclease despite their low sequence identity. R354 forms a homodimer that is important for its exonuclease but not endonuclease activity. Structural comparisons between the active and semi-active states of R354 demonstrated that an activation loop adjacent to the catalytic site is critical for enzymatic activity. Overall, the results suggest that R354 belongs to a novel MIMIVIRE system involved in innate virus immunity and provides a template for the identification of new CRISPR systems in other species.
