Journal ArticleDOI

High-throughput analysis of type I-E CRISPR/Cas spacer acquisition in E. coli

TL;DR: Despite a strong preference for an AAG PAM during CRISPR adaptation, the AAG (and CTT) triplets do not appear to be avoided in known E. coli phages, indicating thatCRISPR/Cas systems may not have been a strong factor in shaping host-virus interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly efficient primed spacer acquisition from targets destroyed by the Escherichia coli type I-E CRISPR-Cas interfering complex

TL;DR: The result indicates that different functional outcomes of CRISPR-Cas response to two kinds of protospacer are not caused by different structures formed by the effector–crRNA complex but are due to the more rapid destruction of targets with fully matching protospacers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foreign DNA acquisition by the I-F CRISPR-Cas system requires all components of the interference machinery.

TL;DR: Spacer acquisition by a type I-F CRISPR–Cas system is studied and primed adaptation is observed, showing a gradient of acquisition efficiency as a function of distance from the priming site and a strand bias that is consistent with existence of single-stranded adaption intermediates.
Journal ArticleDOI

An endogenous Su(Hw) insulator separates the yellow gene from the Achaete-scute gene complex in Drosophila.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis shows that at least two proteins, Suppressor of Hairy wing and Modifier of MDG4, required for the activity of this insulator, are involved in the transcriptional regulation of Achaete-scute.
Journal ArticleDOI

PRE-mediated bypass of two Su(Hw) insulators targets PcG proteins to a downstream promoter.

TL;DR: It is shown that PRE-dependent silencing is compatible with looping of the PRE in order to bring PcG proteins in contact with the promoter and does not require the coating of the whole chromatin domain between PRE and promoter.
