Different genome stability proteins underpin primed and naïve adaptation in E. coli CRISPR-Cas immunity (2015)
Journal Article
Ivančić-Baće, I., Cass, S. D., Wearne, S. J., & Bolt, E. L. (2015). Different genome stability proteins underpin primed and naïve adaptation in E. coli CRISPR-Cas immunity. Nucleic Acids Research, 43(22), 10821-10830. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkv1213

CRISPR-Cas is a prokaryotic immune system built from capture and integration of invader DNA into CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) loci, termed ‘Adaptation’, which is dependent on Cas1 and Cas2 proteins. In Escherichi... Read More about Different genome stability proteins underpin primed and naïve adaptation in E. coli CRISPR-Cas immunity.

Intrinsic sequence specificity of the Cas1 integrase directs new spacer acquisition (2015)
Journal Article
Rollie, C., Schneider, S., Brinkmann, A. S., Bolt, E. L., & White, M. F. (2015). Intrinsic sequence specificity of the Cas1 integrase directs new spacer acquisition. eLife, 4, Article e08716. https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.08716

© Rollie et al. The adaptive prokaryotic immune system CRISPR-Cas provides RNA-mediated protection from invading genetic elements. The fundamental basis of the system is the ability to capture small pieces of foreign DNA for incorporation into the ge...

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.
