Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 5wfe is a 12 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli K-12, Escherichia coli S88 and Synthetic construct. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.64Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CAS1_ECOLI 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 sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA). Cas1 is thought to be involved in CRISPR adaptation, the first stage of CRISPR immunity. Might be involved in the addition/removal of CRISPR spacers. Endonucleolytically cleaves linear ssRNA, ssDNA and short (34 base) dsDNA as well as branched DNA substrates such as Holliday junctions, replication forks and 5'-flap DNA substrates. Genetic interactions suggest Cas1 interacts with components of the RecBC and RuvB DNA repair systems. See Also Endonuclease 3D structures
