Structural basis for AcrVA4 inhibition of specific CRISPR-Cas12a

Structural basis for AcrVA4 inhibition of specific CRISPR-Cas12a

CRISPR-Cas systems provide bacteria and archaea with programmable immunity against mobile genetic elements. Evolutionary pressure by CRISPR-Cas has driven bacteriophage to evolve small protein inhibitors, anti-CRISPRs (Acrs), that block Cas enzyme function by wide-ranging mechanisms. We show here th...
