Structural highlights
FunctionQ9KFY3_ALKHC CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain spacers, sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements, and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA).[PIRNR:PIRNR029950] See AlsoContents | ||||||||||||||||||||
