Characterization of Cas12a nucleases reveals diverse PAM profiles between closely-related orthologs

NUCLEIC ACIDS RESEARCH, 48(10), 5624–5638.

MeSH headings : Bacterial Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Proteins / classification; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / chemistry; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / classification; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / genetics; CRISPR-Associated Proteins / metabolism; DNA Cleavage; Endodeoxyribonucleases / chemistry; Endodeoxyribonucleases / classification; Endodeoxyribonucleases / genetics; Endodeoxyribonucleases / metabolism; HEK293 Cells; Humans; Mutation; Phylogeny; Prevotella / enzymology; Protein Biosynthesis; Protein Domains; Transcription, Genetic
TL;DR: Cas12a nucleases therefore can exhibit widely varying properties between otherwise related orthologs, suggesting selective pressure to diversify PAM recognition and supporting expansion of the CRISPR toolbox through ortholog mining and PAM engineering. (via Semantic Scholar)

A positive, growth-based PAM screen identifies noncanonical motifs recognized by the S. pyogenes Cas9

SCIENCE ADVANCES, 6(29).

By: D. Collias n, R. Leenay n, R. Slotkowski n, Z. Zuo*, S. Collins n, B. McGirr n, J. Liu*, C. Beisel n

TL;DR: It is reported that SpyCas9 also recognizes sequences within an N(A/C/T)GG motif, which could have implications for precise editing, off-target predictions, and CRISPR-based immunity. (via Semantic Scholar)

Competitive Exclusion Is a Major Bioprotective Mechanism of Lactobacilli against Fungal Spoilage in Fermented Milk Products

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 86(7).

author keywords: lactic acid bacteria; bioprotection; food spoilage; manganese starvation; genome editing; Lactobacillus
MeSH headings : Cultured Milk Products / microbiology; Food Microbiology; Fungi / physiology; Lactobacillus / physiology; Yeasts / physiology
TL;DR: Manganese scavenging emerges as a common trait within the Lactobacillus genus, but differences in expression result in some strains showing more bioprotective effect than others, which constitutes an attractive alternative to artificial preservation. (via Semantic Scholar)
