Archaeal Hel308 suppresses recombination through a catalytic switch that controls DNA annealing (2023)
Journal Article
Lever, R., Simmons, E., Gamble-Milner, R., Buckley, R., Harrison, C., Parkes, A., …Allers, T. (2023). Archaeal Hel308 suppresses recombination through a catalytic switch that controls DNA annealing. Nucleic Acids Research, 51(16), 8563-8574. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad572

Hel308 helicases promote genome stability in archaea and are conserved in metazoans, where they are known as HELQ. Their helicase mechanism is well characterised, but it is unclear how they specifically contribute to genome stability in archaea. We s...

Cas1-Cas2 physically and functionally interacts with DnaK to modulate CRISPR Adaptation (2023)
Journal Article
Killelea, T., Dimude, J. U., He, L., Stewart, A. L., Kemm, F. E., Radovčí, M., …Bolt, E. L. (2023). Cas1-Cas2 physically and functionally interacts with DnaK to modulate CRISPR Adaptation. Nucleic Acids Research, 51(13), 6914-6926. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkad473

Prokaryotic Cas1-Cas2 protein complexes generate adaptive immunity to mobile genetic elements (MGEs), by capture and integration of MGE DNA in to CRISPR sites. De novo immunity relies on naive adaptation-Cas1-Cas2 targeting of MGE DNA without the aid... Read More about Cas1-Cas2 physically and functionally interacts with DnaK to modulate CRISPR Adaptation.

CRISPR-Cas adaptation in Escherichia coli (2023)
Journal Article
Mitic, D., Bolt, E. L., & Ivancic-Bace, I. (2023). CRISPR-Cas adaptation in Escherichia coli. Bioscience Reports, 43(3), Article BSR20221198. https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20221198

Prokaryotes use the adaptive immunity mediated via the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats and CRISPR associated (CRISPR-Cas) system for protection against invading elements such as phages and plasmids. The immunity is achieved... Read More about CRISPR-Cas adaptation in Escherichia coli.
