Functional characterization of diverse type I-F CRISPR-associated transposons

Roberts, A., Nethery, M. A., & Barrangou, R. (2022, November 11). Nucleic Acids Research, Vol. 11.

By: A. Roberts n, M. Nethery n & R. Barrangou n 

MeSH headings : CRISPR-Cas Systems; Plasmids; Endonucleases / metabolism; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli / metabolism; DNA; RNA; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / genetics; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): CRISPR and Genetic Engineering; Chromosomal and Genetic Variations; Bacterial Genetics and Biotechnology
TL;DR: This work selected a diverse set of type I-F3 CRISPR-associated transposon systems derived from Gammaproteobacteria, predicted all components essential for transposition activity, and deployed them for functionality testing within Escherichia coli, demonstrating that these systems possess a significant range of integration efficiencies with regards to temperature, transposition size, and flexible PAM requirements.
