A redox switch regulates the assembly and anti-CRISPR activity of AcrIIC1

Here, the authors report the discovery of a redox switch for AcrIIC1, which regulates AcrIIC1’s monomer-dimer interconversion and inhibitory activity on Cas9. By reporting the structures of different redox states of NmeAcrIIC1, they identify a pair of conserved cysteines which mediate the redox swit...
