General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction while cas4-2 deletion does not increase adaptation frequency overall, it dramatically increases incorporation of the duplexed DNA oligonucleotide. The plasmid-expressed wild-type Cas4-2 rescues spacer sizes and the downstream NW motif, but the nuclease-defective Cas4-2 does not Pyrococcus furiosus
additional information analysis of protospace adjacent motif (PAM) sequence recognition by the Cas4 isozymes, overview Pyrococcus furiosus
physiological function two distinct Cas4 nucleases are essential for CRISPR DNA acquisition in Pyrococcus furiosus. Cas4-1 defines the 5' NGG PAM, and Cas4-2 defines the 3' NW motif. Cas4-1 and Cas4-2 nucleases trim opposite ends of prespacer DNA to the correct size. Both Cas4 proteins direct integration of DNA in the correct orientation for immunity. The concerted action of two different Cas4 nucleases is required for protospace adjacent motif (PAM) definition, prespacer processing, and integration of DNA fragments at the CRISPR array in a functional orientation. Pyrococcus furiosus actively takes up spacers into each CRISPR locus in a PAM-dependent manner. Adaptation occurs under normal growth conditions, and the frequency of adaptation can be increased by overexpression of Cas1, Cas2, and Cas4 proteins. Cas4-1 and Cas4-2 nuclease activity is essential for PAM recognition and spacer sizing Pyrococcus furiosus
