Here we present a 3.7 A resolution cryo-EM structure of the Type I-E Cascade/R-loop/Cas3 complex, poised to initiate DNA degradation. Cas3 distinguishes Cascade conformations and only captures the R-loop forming Cascade, to avoid cleaving partially complementary targets. Its nuclease domain recruits the non-target strand (NTS) DNA at a bulged region for the nicking of single-stranded DNA. An additional 4.7 A resolution cryo-EM structure captures the post-nicking state, in which the severed NTS retracts to the helicase entrance, to be threaded for ATP-dependent processive degradation. These snapshots form the basis for understanding RNA-guided DNA degradation in Type I-E CRISPR-Cas systems.
