Spacer acquisition in type VI CRISPR-Cas systems associated with reverse transcriptase-Cas1 fusion proteins

M. D. Molina-Sanchez, F. Martinez-Abarca, V. Millan, M. R. Mestre, N. Toro

This study shows that type VI-B CRISPR-Cas systems with RT-Cas1 fusion proteins can acquire spacers from RNA, functioning independently of other systems.

Similar mechanisms of retron-mediated anti-phage defense for different families of tailed phages

F. M. Garcia-Rodriguez, F. Martinez Abarca, M. E. Wilkinson, N. Toro

This study identifies Retron-Eco11 as a bacterial defense system that uses helicase proteins to trigger effector toxicity against phage infection.

UG/Abi: a highly diverse family of prokaryotic reverse transcriptases associated with defense functions

M. R. Mestre, L. Gao, S. A. Shah, A. Lopez-Beltran, A. Gonzalez-Delgado, F. Martinez-Abarca, J. Iranzo, M. Redrejo-Rodriguez, F. Zhang, N. Toro

The paper systematically analyzes UG and Abi RTs, classifies them into three major classes, and demonstrates their association with defense functions and antiphage roles.
