CRISPR-Associated Factor Csa3b Regulates CRISPR Adaptation and Cmr-Mediated RNA Interference in Sulfolobus islandicus

Acquisition of spacers confers the CRISPR–Cas system with the memory to defend against invading mobile genetic elements. We previously reported that the CRISPR-associated factor Csa3a triggers CRISPR adaptation in Sulfolobus islandicus. However, a feedback regulation of CRISPR adaptation remains unc...
