This domain is found at the C-terminal end of CRISPR-associated nuclease/helicase Cas3 subtype I-F/YPEST from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cas3 contains an HD nuclease domain (Pfam:PF18019), RecA1, RecA2, a long linker region, and this C-terminal domain. This domain shows two alpha-helices and two six-stranded beta-blades [1,2].
This HD domain is found at the N-terminus of Cas3 enzymes fused to a helicase domain. This domain is sometimes found as a separate protein. It acts as a nuclease that cleaves ssDNA.
AcrF3, a protein encoded by gene 35 from phage JBD5, has been reported to specifically inhibit the Cas3 protein of the P. aeruginosa PA14 strain (PaCas3) and to counteract the type I-F CRISPR-Cas system [1]. AcrF3 eluted as a dimer in gel-filtration ...
AcrF3, a protein encoded by gene 35 from phage JBD5, has been reported to specifically inhibit the Cas3 protein of the P. aeruginosa PA14 strain (PaCas3) and to counteract the type I-F CRISPR-Cas system [1]. AcrF3 eluted as a dimer in gel-filtration chromatography [1]. In the complex structure, AcrF3 binds to PaCas3 at a ratio of 2:1, suggesting that AcrF3 functions as a homodimer that inhibits PaCas3 [1]. A single AcrF3 molecule has a two-layer architecture with six alpha-helices [1].
