CRISPR Edit Wikipedia article
CRISPRs (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) are loci containing multiple short direct repeats that are found in the genomes of approximately 40% of sequenced bacteria and 90% of sequenced archaea.[2][3] CRISPR functions as a prokaryotic immune system, in that it confers resistance to exogenous genetic elements such as plasmids and phages.[4][5] The CRISPR system provides a form of acquired immunity. Short segments of foreign DNA, called spacers, are incorporated into the genome between CRISPR repeats, and serve as a 'memory' of past exposures.[6] CRISPR spacers are then used to recognize and silence exogenous genetic elements in a manner analogous to RNAi in eukaryotic organisms.[6]

Discovery of CRISPR [edit]
The clustered genomic repeats that are today known as CRISPR were first described in 1987 for the bacterium Escherichia coli.[7] In 2000, similar clustered repeats were identified in the genomes of additional bacteria and archaea, and were termed Short Regularly Spaced Repeats (SRSR).[8] SRSR were renamed CRISPR in 2002.[9] A set of genes, some encoding putative nuclease or helicase proteins, were found to be associated with CRISPR repeats (the cas, or CRISPR-associated, genes).[9]
CRISPR locus structure [edit]
CRISPR repeats and spacers [edit]
CRISPR repeats range in size from 24 to 48 base pairs.[10] They usually show some dyad symmetry, implying the formation of a secondary structure such as a hairpin, but are not truly palindromic.[11] CRISPR repeats are separated by spacers of similar length.[10] Some CRISPR spacer sequences have identity to sequences from plasmids and phage,[12][13][14] although some spacers have identity to the prokaryote's own genome (self-targeting spacers).[15] New spacers can be added rapidly in response to phage infection.[16]
cas genes and CRISPR subtypes [edit]
The CRISPR-associated (cas) genes are often associated with CRISPR repeat-spacer arrays. More than forty different Cas protein families have been described.[10] Of these protein families, Cas1 appears to be ubiquitous among different CRISPR/Cas systems. Particular combinations of cas genes and repeat structures have been used to define 8 CRISPR subtypes (Ecoli, Ypest, Nmeni, Dvulg, Tneap, Hmari, Apern, and Mtube), some of which are associated with an additional gene module encoding repeat-associated mysterious proteins (RAMPs).[10] More than one CRISPR subtype may occur in a single genome. The sporadic distribution of the CRISPR/Cas subtypes suggests that the system is subject to horizontal gene transfer during microbial evolution.

CRISPR mechanism [edit]
Exogenous DNA is apparently processed by proteins encoded by some of the CRISPR-associated (cas) genes into small elements (of ~30bp in length), which are then somehow inserted into the CRISPR locus near the leader sequence. RNAs from the CRISPR loci are constitutively expressed and are processed by Cas proteins to small RNAs composed of individual exogenously derived sequence elements with some flanking repeat sequence. The RNAs guide other Cas proteins to silence exogenous genetic elements at the RNA or DNA level.[1][17] There is evidence for functional diversity among the different CRISPR subtypes. The Cse (Cas subtype Ecoli) proteins (called CasA-E in E. coli) form a functional complex, Cascade, that processes CRISPR RNA transcripts into spacer-repeat units that are retained by Cascade.[18] In other prokaryotes, Cas6 processes the CRISPR transcripts. Interestingly, CRISPR-based phage inactivation in E. coli requires Cascade and Cas3, but not Cas1 and Cas2. The Cmr (Cas RAMP module) proteins found in Pyrococcus furiosus and other prokaryotes form a functional complex with small CRISPR RNAs that recognizes and cleaves complementary target RNAs.
Evolutionary significance and possible applications [edit]
A bioinformatic study has shown that the CRISPRs are evolutionarily conserved and cluster into related types. Many show signs of a conserved secondary structure.[11]
Through the CRISPR-Cas mechanism bacteria can acquire immunity against certain phages and thus halt further transmission of targeted phages. For this reason, some researchers have proposed that the CRISPR-Cas system is a Lamarckian inheritance mechanism.[19] Others investigated the coevolution of host and viral genomes by analysis of CRISPR sequences.[20]
The proof-of-principle demonstration of selective engineered redirection of the CRISPR-Cas system in 2012[21] provided a first step toward realization of some of the several proposals for CRISPR-derived biotechnology:[22]
- Artificial immunization against phage by introduction of engineered CRISPR loci in industrially important bacteria, including those used in food production and large-scale fermentations.
- Genome engineering at cellular or organismic level by reprogramming of a CRISPR-Cas system to achieve RNA-guided genome engineering, proof of concept studies has demonstrated examples on this front both in vitro and in vivo.[23][24][25][26]
- Knockdown of endogenous genes by transformation with a plasmid which contains a CRISPR area with a spacer, which inhibits a target gene.
- Discrimination of different bacterial strains by comparison of CRISPR spacer sequences (spoligotyping).

InterPro entry IPR010179
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) are a family of DNA direct repeats separated by regularly sized non-repetitive spacer sequences that are found in most bacterial and archaeal genomes [PUBMED:17442114]. CRISPRs appear to provide acquired resistance against bacteriophages, possibly acting with an RNA interference-like mechanism to inhibit gene functions of invasive DNA elements [PUBMED:17379808, PUBMED:16545108]. Differences in the number and type of spacers between CRISPR repeats correlate with phage sensitivity. It is thought that following phage infection, bacteria integrate new spacers derived from phage genomic sequences, and that the removal or addition of particular spacers modifies the phage-resistance phenotype of the cell. Therefore, the specificity of CRISPRs may be determined by spacer-phage sequence similarity.
In addition, there are many protein families known as CRISPR-associated sequences (Cas), which are encoded in the vicinity of CRISPR loci [PUBMED:16292354]. CRISPR/cas gene regions can be quite large, with up to 20 different, tandem-arranged cas genes next to a CRISPR cluster or filling the region between two repeat clusters. Cas genes and CRISPRs are found on mobile genetic elements such as plasmids, and have undergone extensive horizontal transfer. Cas proteins are thought to be involved in the propagation and functioning of CRISPRs. Some Cas proteins show similarity to helicases and repair proteins, although the functions of most are unknown. Cas families can be divided into subtypes according to operon organisation and phylogeny.
This entry represents the Cse3 (CRISPR/Cas Subtype Ecoli protein 3) family of Cas proteins. The Thermus thermophilus HB8 family member has been crystallised and found to have a structure consisting of two domains with opposing parallel beta-sheets, known as a beta-sheet platform [PUBMED:16672237]. This structure is similar to those found in the sex-lethal protein and poly(A)-binding protein and is consistent with an RNA-binding function.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the CRISPR_assoc domain has been found. There are 14 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.
