Standalone ring nucleases are CRISPR ancillary proteins which downregulate the strong immune response of Type III systems by degrading cA. These enzymes contain a CRISPR-associated Rossman-fold (CARF) domain, which binds and cleaves the cA molecule. Here, we present the structures of the standalone ring nuclease from Sulfolobus islandicus (Sis) 0811 in its apo and post-catalytic states. This enzyme is composed by a N-terminal CARF and a C-terminal wHTH domain. Sis0811 presents a phosphodiester hydrolysis metal-independent mechanism, which cleaves cA4 rings to generate linear adenylate species, thus reducing the levels of the second messenger and switching off the cell antiviral state. The structural and biochemical analysis revealed the coupling of a cork-screw conformational change with the positioning of key catalytic residues to proceed with cA4 phosphodiester hydrolysis in a non-concerted manner.
