Building CRISPR immunity: evolution and mechanisms of spacer acquisition.

CRISPR-Cas systems in prokaryotes serve as adaptive immune systems that neutralize phage infections through RNA-guided nucleases. Immunization is achieved during the adaptation stage through Cas1-Cas2 integrase-mediated insertion of short foreign DNA snippets, termed spacers, into a CRISPR array in the host genome. Thi...

Piercing mechanism in the minimal contractile tail of bacteriophage P2

Bacteriophage P2 is a long-standing model for contractile injection systems, yet high-resolution structures of the intact virion and the mechanism of baseplate activation have remained unresolved. Here, we combine high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy and in situ cryo-electron tomography to characterize P2, using it...
