CRISPR-Cas systems are prokaryotic adaptive immune systems and phages use anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) to counteract these systems. Here, we report the structures of AcrIF24 and its complex with the ...
Investigating small protein inhibitors of CRISPR–Cas — an adaptive immune system in bacteria — has led to the discovery of a mechanism for inhibiting a large macromolecular complex. AcrIF25, an ...
