AcrIIA5 Inhibits a Broad Range of Cas9 Orthologs by Preventing DNA Target Cleavage
Summary: CRISPR-Cas9 is an adaptive immune system for prokaryotes to defend against invasive genetic elements such as phages and has been used as a powerful tool for genome editing and modulation. To overcome CRISPR immunity, phages encode anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) to inhibit Cas9, providing an ef...
