CRISPR and crRNAs

19.4K
Bacteria and archaea are susceptible to viral infections just like eukaryotes; therefore, they have developed a unique adaptive immune system to protect themselves. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) are present in more than 45% of known bacteria and 90% of known archaea.
The CRISPR-Cas system stores a copy of foreign DNA in the host genome and uses it to identify the foreign DNA upon reinfection. CRISPR-Cas has three different...

The Antiviral System of Bacteria and Archaea: CRISPR

821
CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats is a adaptive immune system found in bacteria and archaea that protects against viral infections. This system enables prokaryotic cells to identify, remember, and neutralize foreign genetic elements, primarily bacteriophages, by storing fragments of the invader’s DNA as a genetic memory.The CRISPR immune response begins during an initial infection. Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins play a central role in this...

CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing

2.2K
The CRISPR-Cas system serves as a bacterial defense mechanism against invading genetic elements such as viruses and plasmids, forming the foundation for its adaptation as a powerful genome-editing tool. Originally discovered in prokaryotes, this system has been repurposed to revolutionize genetic engineering across a wide range of organisms, including plants, animals, and humans. The core component, Cas9, is an endonuclease derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, capable of introducing...

Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genomics
  • Comparative Biology

Background:

  • Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus) are valuable models for innate immunity research due to unique adaptations.
  • Limited understanding of their innate immune gene repertoire and functional drivers hinders research.
  • Systematic dissection of camel innate immunity is needed to understand evolutionary adaptations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map the innate immune gene repertoire and regulatory mechanisms in Bactrian camels.
  • To identify key functional genes involved in antiviral and antibacterial immune responses.
  • To provide insights into the evolutionary adaptations of mammalian immune systems.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening with time-resolved transcriptomic profiling.
  • Challenged camel dermal fibroblasts with viral mimic poly(I:C) and bacterial mimic LPS.
  • Analyzed gene expression dynamics and co-expression networks.

Main Results:

  • Identified 59 key genes conferring survival advantage under pathogenic challenge.
  • Discovered distinct gene sets for resisting viral versus bacterial mimics, indicating divergent genetic underpinnings.
  • Pinpointed HSP90AA1 (antiviral) and CSF1 (antibacterial) as pivotal genes with dynamic regulatory roles.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides the first systematic mapping of the Bactrian camel's innate immune landscape and its dynamic regulation.
  • Uncovered a shared core immune response program with stimulus-specific regulation.
  • Offers a new framework for understanding camelid immunobiology and evolutionary immune adaptations.
