Structural highlights
FunctionCS12M_THEFR 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) (Probable) (PubMed:38261981). CRISPR clusters contain sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements and target invading nucleic acids (Probable) (PubMed:38261981). CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA) (PubMed:38261981). Recognizes a short motif in the CRISPR repeat sequences (the 5' PAM or protospacer adjacent motif, 5'-C/TCN-3' in this organism) to help distinguish self versus nonself, as targets within the bacterial CRISPR locus do not have PAMs (PubMed:38261981). Upon expression in E.coli as a CRISPR locus inhibits plasmid propagation when targeted to regions essential for plasmid propagation (replication origin but not a selectable marker), probably by inhibiting transcription (PubMed:38261981). Cas12m-crRNA binds DNA in a PAM-dependent, crRNA-guided fashion (PubMed:38261981). Upon expression in E.coli as a CRISPR region preferentially binds to its associated crRNA (PubMed:38261981). Probably required for pre-crRNA processing to mature crRNA (Probable) (PubMed:38261981).[1] [2] References
