To be or not to be an anti-CRISPR: AcrIII-1 and the importance of working with native biological systems

L. Martinez-Alvarez, D. Stickel, A. Salegi-Diez, Y. Bhoobalan-Chitty, X. Peng

This study shows that SIRV2 gp37 lacks anti-CRISPR activity in native infections but provides a replicative advantage through host protein interaction.

A clade of RHH proteins ubiquitous in Sulfolobales and their viruses regulates cell cycle progression

X. Li, C. Lozano-Madueno, L. Martinez-Alvarez, X. Peng

This study identifies aCcr1, an RHH protein in Sulfolobales and their viruses, which regulates cell cycle progression by modulating gene expression related to division and replication.

With a pinch of salt: metagenomic insights into Namib Desert salt pan microbial mats and halites reveal functionally adapted and competitive communities

L. Martinez-Alvarez, J.-B. Ramond, C. Leon-Sobrino, S. Vikram, G. Maggs-Kölling, D. A. Cowan

This study uses shotgun metagenomics to characterize microbial communities in Namib Desert salt pans and halites, revealing distinct taxonomic and functional profiles and novel viral and gene transfer elements.
