Accessory Nucleases Provide Robust Antiparasite Immunity for Type III CRISPR-Cas Systems
<p>To protect against parasites like bacteriophages and plasmids, bacteria employ diverse and sophisticated defence systems. Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems that can integrate short "spacers" from a parasite into its CRISPR …

Cas9-Primed Adaptive Immunity During the CRISPR-Cas Response
… combat the constant threat of viruses (bacteriophages) that endanger them. Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) loci provide archaea and bacteria with adaptive immune systems that allow them to counteract these rapidly evolving genetic parasites. These diverse …

Modulation of the CRISPR-Cas9 Immune Response
… face an onslaught of ever-changing viral (phage) invaders. Bacteria and phages are locked into an evolutionary arms race where both must continually adapt to survive. In response, bacteria have developed numerous immune systems to protect themselves, including CRISPR-Cas. CRISPR-Cas systems …

Identification and Characterization of Novel CRISPR-Cas Immune Effectors
… by the viruses that infect them called bacteriophages or phages for short. It is predicted that phages outnumber bacteria by an order of magnitude, producing a tremendous pressure for resistance mechanisms against this threat. One of the most abundant immune systems bacteria have evolved to …
