This domain is found in the Csm1 subunit of the Csm complex found in Thermococcus onnurineus. Csm is a type III-A CRISPR-Cas system, which is an RNA-guided immune defense mechanism that detects and destroys foreign DNA or RNA. This domain is known as domain A and is positioned side by side with domain C. Both domain A and domain C adopt the BABBA topology. Domain A interacts primarily with domain B [1].
CRISPR RNA silencing complex Cmr2 subunit, second helical domain
The prokaryotic CRISPR RNA-Cas protein (Cmr) complex provides protection against mobile genetic elements by cleaving foreign RNA. Its largest subunit is Cmr2. This protein shows a N-terminal HD (histidine-aspartate) domain, two RRM domains resembling ...
The prokaryotic CRISPR RNA-Cas protein (Cmr) complex provides protection against mobile genetic elements by cleaving foreign RNA. Its largest subunit is Cmr2. This protein shows a N-terminal HD (histidine-aspartate) domain, two RRM domains resembling adenylate cyclase and two alpha-helical domains. This entry represents the second alpha-helical domain. It is similar to the small subunit Cmr5, which contains six alpha-helices and two helical insertions that fold into a single globular structure [1-5]. This domain is also found in Cas10 proteins from bacteria [6].
