A type III-associated Cas6 functions as a negative regulator of type I-B CRISPR-Cas system in Thermus thermophilus

Abstract CRISPR-Cas systems are small RNA-guided immune systems in prokaryotes. CRISPR RNA (crRNA) provides sequence specificity and programmability, guiding the effector complex to cleave target nucleic acids. Cas6 family ribonucleases can cleave precursor crRNA to generate functional crRNAs in mos...
