The molecular basis for recognition of 5′-NNNCC-3′ PAM and its methylation state by Acidothermus cellulolyticus Cas9

Acidothermus cellulolyticus CRISPR-Cas9 (AceCas9) is a Type II-C enzyme that cleaves DNA in a Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM) methylation sensitive fashion. Biochemical analysis and crystal structures of AceCas9 in complex with sgRNA and DNA bearing the correct and incorrect PAM offer insight into...
