Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which is one of the most important species of Staphylococci, poses a great threat to public health. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) are an ...

Dealing with the evolutionary downside of CRISPR immunity: bacteria and beneficial plasmids. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The immune systems that protect organisms from infectious agents invariably have a cost for the host. In bacteria and archaea CRISPR-Cas loci can serve as adaptive immune systems that protect these microbes from infectiously transmitted DNAs.

CRISPR-Cas in Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2019 The discovery and characterization of the prokaryotic CRISPR-Cas immune system has led to a revolution in genome editing and engineering technologies. Despite the fact that most applications emerged after the discovery of the type II-A CRISPR-Cas9 system of Streptococcus pyogenes, its biological importance in this organism has received little attention.

CRISPR-Cas systems in multicellular cyanobacteria [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2018 Novel CRISPR-Cas systems possess substantial potential for genome editing and manipulation of gene expression. The types and numbers of CRISPR-Cas systems vary substantially between different organisms. Some filamentous cyanobacteria harbor > 40 different putative CRISPR repeat-spacer cassettes, while the number of cas gene instances is much lower ...

CRISPR-Cas: biology, mechanisms and relevance [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Prokaryotes have evolved several defence mechanisms to protect themselves from viral predators. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their associated proteins (Cas) display a prokaryotic adaptive immune system that memorizes previous infections by integrating short sequences of invading genomes—termed spacers—into the ...
