Structural coordination between active sites of a CRISPR reverse transcriptase-integrase complex

In some systems, a single protein comprising reverse transcriptase (RT), integrase and maturase enables concerted sequence integration and crRNA production. Here, analyses including the structure of a Cas6-RT-Cas1—Cas2 complex suggest coordination between all three active sites and capacity to acqui...
