AcrIIA8 is a putative phage structural protein of the HTJ2 family that does not inhibit Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9. [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Sci
Abstract Anti‐CRISPR (Acr) proteins are phage‐encoded anti‐defense factors that suppress CRISPR‐Cas immunity in bacteria. AcrIIA8 was previously identified as an inhibitor of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpyCas9) through functional assays of metagenomic libraries. Here, we report that AcrIIA8 does not inhibit SpyCas9 in biochemical assays under a range
