Cas3 is a limiting factor for CRISPR-Cas immunity in Escherichia coli cells lacking H-NS (2016)
Journal Article
Majsec, K., Bolt, E. L., & Ivan?i?-Ba?e, I. (in press). Cas3 is a limiting factor for CRISPR-Cas immunity in Escherichia coli cells lacking H-NS. BMC Microbiology, 16(28), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-016-0643-5

Background: CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity to mobile genetic elements in prokaryotes. In many bacteria, including E. coli, a specialized ribonucleoprotein complex called Cascade enacts immunity by “an interference reaction" between CRIS...

The role of Cas8 in type I CRISPR interference (2015)
Journal Article
Cass, S., Haas, K., Stoll, B., Alkhnbashi, O., Sharma, K., Urlaub, H., …Bolt, E. (2015). The role of Cas8 in type I CRISPR interference. Bioscience Reports, 35, Article e00197. https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20150043

CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) systems provide bacteria and archaea with adapt- ive immunity to repel invasive genetic elements. Type I systems use ‘cascade’ [CRISPR-associated (Cas) complex for antiviral defence] r... Read More about The role of Cas8 in type I CRISPR interference.

Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3 (2014)
Journal Article
Gong, B., Shin, M., Sun, J., Jung, C., Bolt, E. L., van der oost, J., & Kim, J. (2014). Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(46), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1410806111

Mobile genetic elements in bacteria are neutralized by a system based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins. Type I CRISPR-Cas systems use a “Cascade” ribonucleoprotein complex to... Read More about Molecular insights into DNA interference by CRISPR-associated nuclease-helicase Cas3.
