Protein
CRISPR-associated protein Cas5 3
Organism
Saccharolobus solfataricus (strain ATCC 35092 / DSM 1617 / JCM 11322 / P2)
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).
Similarity
Belongs to the CRISPR-associated protein Cas5 family. Subtype I-A/Apern subfamily.
