Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

AcrVA3 Is a Double Strand DNA‐Cleaving Anti‐CRISPR That Indirectly Inhibits Cas12
This study reports the high‐resolution structure of the anti‐CRISPR protein AcrVA3 and reveals its unexpected inhibitory mechanism against Cas12. AcrVA3 does not directly interact with Cas12 but instead exhibits double‐stranded DNA cleavage activity.

A Modified Methyl Transferase Cofactor to Selectively Silence Gene Expression in Escherichia coli
Graphical abstract and table of contents entry A modified methyl transferase cofactor, containing AdoHcy azide, creates a specific single‐site molecular switch near a promoter, on plasmid DNA, preventing the expression of a single gene at the designated site, not observed with other modifications.
