We call this mechanism "coercive assimilation," where plasmids create a selective pressure that penalizes immune systems like CRISPR-Cas and Restriction-Modification. (2/)

'The widespread prokaryotic immune systems, in particular restriction–modification, CRISPR–Cas and defensive toxin–antitoxin systems, are absent in eukaryotes, whereas relatively rare ones, such as Argonautes and antiviral STAND NTPases, became central to eukaryotic innate immunity'

😮Impresionante: en una prueba de concepto en células in vitro removieron el cromosoma extra que causa el síndrome de Down con la tecnología CRISPR-CAS-9. Por supuesto, falta mucho para su aplicación en humanos, pero el ensayo abre un camino para tratar desórdenes genéticos👇

How do the ancestors of CRISPR-Cas unwind DNA and how can this lead to better genome editing? With our collaboration between @doudna-lab.bsky.social x @jacobsenucla.bsky.social x Zev Bryant's lab x @savagecatsonly.bsky.social we've uncovered the secrets behind TnpB's dynamics!

Künftig sollen für bestimmte gentechnisch veränderte Kulturpflanzen weniger strenge Vorgaben gelten. #GMO #Gentechnik #Kulturpflanzen

CRISPR-Cas is how bacteria/archaea defend against invasive elements & is 'updated' via spacer acquisition after exposure, akin to 'immunity'. Here authors show that this happens slowly in the gut microbiota & identify a notably widespread array in Bifidobacterium longum

CRISPR-Cas spacer acquisition is a rare event in human gut microbiome
An-Ni Zhang et al. quantify spacer acquisition rates in human gut microbial species, showing that spacer acquisition is rare. This finding challenges the use of CRISPR arrays for predicting host-phage...

We present the full story of the PPTOP vs DgiS1 phage battle using Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria as the battleground. PPTOP is a phage-plasmid that, among other weapons, carries a CRISPR-Cas I-Fa system specialized in targeting DgiS1.

Biological warfare between two bacterial viruses in a defense archipelago sheds light on the spread of CRISPR-Cas systems
Rubio et al. describe an archipelago of anti-phage systems in the opportunistic pathogenic bacterium A. baumannii. This is the battleground of two phages fighting for integration. One of them inserts a CRISPR-Cas system that prevents the other from integrating, and the other could escape by mutations avoiding the CRISPR-Cas system.
