cmr6

Gene
cmr6
Protein
CRISPR system Cmr subunit Cmr6
Organism
Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1)
Length
340 amino acids
Function
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat), is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA), formerly called psiRNA (prokaryotic silencing) in this organism. Part of the Cmr ribonucleoprotein complex which has divalent cation-dependent endoribonuclease activity specific for ssRNA complementary to the crRNA (target RNA), generating 5' hydroxy- and 3' phosphate or 2'-3' cyclic phosphate termini. Cmr4 is probably the subunit that cleaves target RNA (PubMed:25280103). Cmr complex does not cleave ssDNA complementary to the crRNA. Cleavage of invading RNA is guided by the crRNA; substrate cleavage occurs a fixed distance (14 nt) from the 3' end of the crRNA. In vitro reconstitution shows Cmr1-2 and Cmr5 are not absolutely necessary for target cleavage (PubMed:19945378).
Similarity
Belongs to the CRISPR system Cmr6 family.

CRISPR system CMR subunit Cmr6
Organism
Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2)
Length
284 amino acids
Function
CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain spacers, sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements, and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA) (By similarity). The CMR complex degrades RNA complementary to the crRNA (target RNA) within UA dinucleotides, generating 3'-OH and 5'-phosphate ends. Activity is dependent on the 8 nt long 5' tag in the crRNA, an unpaired 3' flag on the target RNA, and is stimulated by ATP. Some cleavage of the guide crRNA can also be observed.
Similarity
Belongs to the CRISPR system Cmr6 family.
