Structural and Mechanistic Analyses Reveal a Unique Cas4-like Protein in the Mimivirus Virophage Resistance Element System
Summary: A clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-like “mimivirus virophage resistance element” (MIMIVIRE) system, which contains specific cascade genes and a CRISPR array against virophages, was reported in mimiviruses. An essential component of the MIMIVIRE system is R3...
