Occurrence and diversity of CRISPR-Cas systems in the genus bifidobacterium [PDF]
CRISPR-Cas systems constitute adaptive immune systems for antiviral defense in bacteria. We investigated the occurrence and diversity of CRISPR-Cas systems in 48 Bifidobacterium genomes to gain insights into the diversity and co-evolution of CRISPR-Cas ...

The tracrRNA and Cas9 families of type II CRISPR-Cas immunity systems
CRISPR-Cas is a rapidly evolving RNA-mediated adaptive immune system that protects bacteria and archaea against mobile genetic elements. The system relies on the activity of short mature CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) that guide Cas protein(s) to silence invading ...

Structural basis for RNA-mediated assembly of type V CRISPR-associated transposons
CRISPR systems have been co-opted by Tn7-like elements to direct RNA-guided transposition. Type V-K CRISPR-associated transposons rely on the concerted activities of the pseudonuclease Cas12k, the AAA+ ATPase TnsC, the Zn-finger protein TniQ, and the ...

MARPLE: A Proximity‐Triggered CRISPR‐Cas13 Platform for Ultrasensitive Antibody Detection
MARPLE is a modular CRISPR‐Cas13 immunoassay that uses antibody‐induced proximity to trigger a toehold‐exchange reaction, releasing an RNA activator for Cas13. This one‐pot, isothermal architecture enables ultrasensitive (femtomolar) and highly specific detection of diverse antibodies, including therapeutic, pathogen‐specific, and cancer‐associated ...

Hook3 is a scaffold for the opposite-polarity microtubule-based motors cytoplasmic dynein-1 and KIF1C. [PDF]
The unidirectional and opposite-polarity microtubule-based motors, dynein and kinesin, drive long-distance intracellular cargo transport. Cellular observations suggest that opposite-polarity motors may be coupled.

Functional rescue of dystrophin deficiency in mice caused by frameshift mutations using Campylobacter jejuni Cas9 [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal, X-linked muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene. In 51% of DMD cases, a reading frame is disrupted because of deletion of several exons.
