Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) chromosomal loci found in prokaryotes provide an adaptive immune system against bacteriophages and plasmids. CRISPR-specific endoRNases produce short RNA molecules (crRNAs) from CRISPR transcripts, which harbor sequences complementary to invasive nucleic acid elements and ensure their selective targeting by CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins. The extreme sequence divergence of CRISPR-specific endoRNases and their RNA substrates has…

Evolution of CRISPR RNA recognition and processing by Cas6 endonucleases
In many bacteria and archaea, small RNAs derived from clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) associate with CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins to target foreign DNA for…
Recognition and cleavage of a nonstructured CRISPR RNA by its processing endoribonuclease Cas6.
Mechanism of substrate selection by a highly specific CRISPR endoribonuclease.
TLDR
It is shown here that Csy4 recognizes its RNA substrate with an ~50 pM equilibrium dissociation constant, making it one of the highest-affinity protein:RNA interactions of this size reported to date.
A Programmable Dual-RNA–Guided DNA Endonuclease in Adaptive Bacterial Immunity
TLDR
This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.
The impact of CRISPR repeat sequence on structures of a Cas6 protein–RNA complex
TLDR
This study confirms the specificity of the Cas6 protein for single‐stranded RNA and further reveals the importance of the bases at Positions 5–7 in Cas6–RNA interactions.
Cas5d processes pre-crRNA and is a member of a larger family of CRISPR RNA endonucleases.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Cas5d is a sequence-specific RNA endonuclease that cleaves CRISPR repeats and is thus responsible for processing of pre-crRNA, which generates the mature effector RNAs that target foreign nucleic acid for degradation.
Mechanism of CRISPR-RNA guided recognition of DNA targets in Escherichia coli
TLDR
Underlying mechanisms involved in target-induced conformational changes and residues important in DNA binding and protospacer adjacent motif recognition are revealed and highlighted.

Structural basis of Type IV CRISPR RNA biogenesis by a Cas6 endoribonuclease
TLDR
Structures and sequence alignments with Cas6 orthologs reveal that although Ma Cas6-IV shares little sequence homology with other Cas6 proteins, all share common structural features that bind distinct crRNA repeat sequences.

TLDR
The RNA recognition mechanism identified here explains sequence- and structure-specific processing by a large family of CRISPR-specific endoribonucleases.
RNA-Guided RNA Cleavage by a CRISPR RNA-Cas Protein Complex
Cas6 is an endoribonuclease that generates guide RNAs for invader defense in prokaryotes.
TLDR
This work has identified Pyrococcus furiosus Cas6 as a novel endoribonuclease that cleaves CRISPR RNAs within the repeat sequences to release individual invader targeting RNAs.
Binding and cleavage of CRISPR RNA by Cas6.
TLDR
RNA footprinting reveals that Pyrococcus furiosus Cas6 binds to a 7-nt (nucleotide) sequence near the 5' end of the CRISPR RNA repeat sequence, 14 nt upstream of the Cas6 cleavage site, consistent with a possible general acid-base RNA cleavage mechanism for Cas6.
Structural basis for CRISPR RNA-guided DNA recognition by Cascade
TLDR
The composition and low-resolution structure of Cascade is presented and it is shown how it recognizes double-stranded DNA targets in a sequence-specific manner and suggests that continuous invader DNA surveillance takes place without energy investment.
Prokaryotic silencing (psi)RNAs in Pyrococcus furiosus.
TLDR
These results identify the principal products of the CRISPR loci as small psiRNAs comprised primarily of invader-targeting sequence with perhaps only 5-10 nucleotides ofCRISPR repeat sequence, which are the most abundant CRISpr RNA species in P. furiosus.

TLDR
The results demonstrate that the formation of mature guide RNAs by the CRISPR RNA endonuclease subunit of Cascade is a mechanistic requirement for antiviral defense.

TLDR
In vivo evidence is provided that the Streptococcus thermophilus CRISPR1/Cas system can also naturally acquire spacers from a self-replicating plasmid containing an antibiotic-resistance gene, leading toplasmid loss.
Transcription, processing and function of CRISPR cassettes in Escherichia coli
TLDR
Using an engineered strain with genomically located spacer matching phage λ, it is shown that endogenous levels of CRISPR cassette and cas genes expression allow only weak protection against infection with the phage, however, derepression of the CRISpr/Cas system by disruption of the hns gene leads to high level of protection.
