Investigating small protein inhibitors of CRISPR–Cas — an adaptive immune system in bacteria — has led to the discovery of a mechanism for inhibiting a large macromolecular complex. AcrIF25, an ...
It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids. CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...
Like any other organism, bacteria are constantly exposed to pathogenic threats, such as viruses and plasmids. The Aviram Lab is interested in understanding how bacterial cells protect themselves from ...
Every living creature on Earth needs to protect itself from things that would do it harm. Bacteria are no different. And despite their relative simplicity, they deploy remarkably savvy defensive ...
Fighting off pathogens is a tour de force that must happen with speed and precision. A team of researchers at CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and at ...
Researchers from Skoltech—a VEB.RF group institution—and their colleagues from the U.S. and China have explained how the antibiotic resistance gene established itself in the genome of the bacterium ...
But it turns out that CRISPR systems have more than one strategy in their toolkit. A mechanism originally discovered in bacteria, where it has operated as an adaptive immune system for eons, CRISPR is ...
