Decision-Making in Cascade Complexes Harboring crRNAs of Altered Length

Summary: The multi-subunit type I CRISPR-Cas surveillance complex Cascade uses its crRNA to recognize dsDNA targets. Recognition involves DNA unwinding and base-pairing between the crRNA spacer region and a complementary DNA strand, resulting in formation of an R-loop structure. The modular Cascade...
