Coevolution between bacterial CRISPR-Cas systems and their bacteriophages.
CRISPR-Cas System: The Powerful Modulator of Accessory Genomes in Prokaryotes.
TLDR
The CRISPR-Cas system gained popularity after it was proposed as a tool for plant and animal embryo editing, in cancer therapy, as antimicrobial against pathogenic bacteria, and even for combating the novel coronavirus - SARS-CoV-2; thus, the newest and promising applications are reviewed.
Structural basis of CRISPR-Cas Type III prokaryotic defence systems.
CRISPR-Cas in Escherichia coli: regulation by H-NS, LeuO and temperature
TLDR
The role of temperature in the regulation of the CRISPR-Cas activity and the interplay of the key regulators H-NS and StpA repressors and LeuO antirepressor in regulation of cas gene expression and HtpG chaperone in maintaining functional levels of Cas3 are given.
A moonlighting nuclease puts CRISPR in its place
TLDR
It is shown that in subtype I-E systems, Cas4-like activity is supplied by DnaQ-superfamily exonucleases, providing a beautiful example of cellular machinery moonlighting in support of CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity.
Conquering CRISPR: how phages overcome bacterial adaptive immunity.
Evolution and molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 systems

Identification and Characterization of the CRISPR/Cas System in Staphylococcus aureus Strains From Diverse Sources
TLDR
Findings indicate that antibiotic phages proposed as an alternative therapy in biofilm-forming or infection with S. aureus strains would be ineffective and more research about the CRISPR/Cas system is necessary.

Evolution and Ecology of CRISPR
TLDR
The current understanding of the evolutionary ecology of CRISPR-Cas systems is summarized, their value as model systems to answer fundamental questions concerning host–parasite coevolution are highlighted, and how they can be useful tools for scientists across virtually all disciplines are explained.
CRISPR–Cas systems: beyond adaptive immunity
TLDR
Recent studies that have provided insights into these unconventional CRISPR–Cas functions are discussed and their potential evolutionary implications are considered.
Unravelling the structural and mechanistic basis of CRISPR–Cas systems
TLDR
This Review summarizes the recent structural and biochemical insights that have been gained for the three major types of CRISPR–Cas systems, which together provide a detailed molecular understanding of the unique and conserved mechanisms of RNA-guided adaptive immunity in bacteria and archaea.
Inhibition of CRISPR-Cas systems by mobile genetic elements.

Regulation of CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems.
Evolution and classification of the CRISPR–Cas systems
TLDR
An updated analysis of the evolutionary relationships between CRISPR–Cas systems and Cas proteins is provided and a 'polythetic' classification that integrates the phylogenies of the most common cas genes, the sequence and organization of theCRISPR repeats and the architecture of the CRISpr–cas loci is proposed.
CRISPR-Cas
TLDR
The tight association of the CRISPR-Cas immunity systems with predicted toxins that, upon activation, would induce dormancy or cell death suggests that adaptive immunity and dormancy/suicide response are functionally coupled.
CRISPR Provides Acquired Resistance Against Viruses in Prokaryotes
TLDR
It is found that, after viral challenge, bacteria integrated new spacers derived from phage genomic sequences, and CRISPR provided resistance against phages, and resistance specificity is determined by spacer-phage sequence similarity.
Cas9 function and host genome sampling in Type II-A CRISPR-Cas adaptation.
TLDR
Surprisingly, it is found that Cas9, previously identified as the nuclease responsible for ultimate invader destruction, is also essential for adaptation, which indicates that the process of adaptation by a Type II-A CRISPR-Cas system in Streptococcus thermophilus requires Cas1, Cas2, and Csn2.
