Cas1 epistasis tunes conformational coupling to enhance CRISPR adaptation

H. T. Edwards, Christopher Cannon, Jack Braithwaite, Chalmers Ronald

The paper identifies a prespacer-coupling module in Cas1 that interacts with a conformational-coupling module, showing that epistatic interactions between substitutions enhance CRISPR adaptation activity.

RecA status determines SOS- and RecBCD-dependent outcomes in CRISPR-Cas adaptation

H. T. Edwards, Christopher Cannon, Jack Braithwaite, Chalmers Ronald

This study shows that RecA status influences CRISPR-Cas adaptation through SOS response mechanisms in E. coli, with RecA loss enhancing adaptation via RecBCD-dependent DNA processing.
