Deskripsi

The authors report several high-resolution functional snapshots of type III-E nuclease-protease Craspase complexes, revealing the mechanisms underlying target RNA cleavage and non-self RNA activated protease activities; and highlighting the potentials for the development of RNA-guided nuclease-protease Craspase-based tools for biotechnological applications.
