Type IV-A3 CRISPR-Cas systems drive inter-plasmid conflicts by acquiring spacers in trans

F. Benz, S. Camara-Wilpert, J. Russel, K. G. Wandera, R. Cepaite, M. Ares-Arroyo, J. V. Gomes-Filho, F. Englert, J. Kuehn, S. Gloor, A. Cuenod, M. Aguila-Sans, L. Maccario, A. Egli, L. Randau, , R. Pinilla-Redondo

This study shows type IV-A3 CRISPR-Cas systems use host adaptation machinery to update their CRISPR arrays and interfere with plasmid and phage transfer, supporting their role in plasmid competition.

Cas12a2 elicits abortive infection via RNA-triggered destruction of double-stranded DNA

O. Dmytrenko, G. Neumann, T. Hallmark, D. J. Keiser, V. M. Crowley, E. Vialetto, I. Mougiakos, K. G. Wandera, H. Domgaard, J. Weber, J. Metcalf, M. B. Begemann, B. N. Gray, R. N. Jackson, C. L. Beisel

This study shows that Cas12a2 causes abortive infection by degrading double-stranded DNA through RNA-triggered activity, and demonstrates its use as an RNA detection tool.
