Project description:CRISPR–Cas systems provide adaptive immunity in prokaryotes by targeting and degrading invasive genetic elements. Among them, the type I-F2 system represents the most compact type I CRISPR–Cas system, distinguished by the absence of small and large subunits. These subunits are otherwise essential for target recognition and nuclease recruitment. To elucidate how this minimal system mediates DNA interference, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the I-F2 Cascade complex bound to its target DNA and the effector helicase-nuclease Cas3. Our structure reveals a unique mechanism of Cas3 recruitment, predominantly mediated by the Cas7 subunit. We show how the helicase and C-terminal domains of Cas3 engage the single-stranded DNA to initiate directional DNA-unwinding and degradation. These findings uncover key mechanistic adaptations that enable efficient interference in the absence of canonical subunits and emphasize the mechanistic diversity among closely related type I systems, including I-E, I-F1, and I-F2. These insights provide a structural basis for engineering the minimal I-F2 system for genome editing and biotechnological applications.

Project description:Streptomyces has the largest repertoire of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), yet developing a universal engineering strategy for each Streptomyces species is challenging. Given that some Streptomyces species have larger BGC repertoires than others, we hypothesized that a set of genes co-evolved with BGCs to support biosynthetic proficiency must exist in those strains, and that their identification may provide universal strategies to improve the productivity of other strains. We show here that genes co-evolved with natural product BGCs in Streptomyces can be identified by phylogenomics analysis. Among the 597 genes that co-evolved with polyketide BGCs, 11 genes in the “coenzyme” category have been examined, including a gene cluster encoding for the co-factor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). When the pqq gene cluster was engineered into 11 Streptomyces strains, it enhanced production of 16,385 metabolites, including 36 known natural products with up to 40-fold improvement and several activated silent gene clusters. This study provides a new engineering strategy for improving polyketide production and discovering new biosynthetic gene clusters.

Project description:CRISPR-Cas systems store fragments of invader DNA as spacers to recognize and clear those same invaders in the future. Spacers can also be acquired from the host’s genomic DNA, leading to lethal self-targeting. While self-targeting can be circumvented through different mechanisms, natural examples remain poorly explored. Here, we investigate extensive self-targeting by two CRISPR-Cas systems encoding an astonishing 24 self-targeting spacers in the plant pathogen Xanthomonas albilineans. We show, based on transcriptomics analyses, that the native I-C and I-F1 systems are actively expressed and that CRISPR RNAs are properly processed. When expressed in Escherichia coli, each Cascade complex binds its PAM-flanked DNA target to block transcription, while the addition of Cas3 paired with genome targeting induces cell killing. While exploring how X. albilineans survives self-targeting, we predicted putative anti-CRISPR proteins (Acrs) encoded within the bacterium’s genome. Screening of identified candidates with cell-free transcription-translation systems and in E. coli revealed two Acrs, which we named AcrIC11 and AcrIF12Xal, that inhibit Cas3 but not Cascade of the respective system. These findings reveal how a bacterium tolerates extensive self-targeting through two CRISPR-Cas systems and expand the suite of Cas3-inhibiting Acrs.

Project description:Biofilms are ubiquitous in natural, medical, and engineering environments. While most antibiotics that primarily aim to inhibit cell growth may result in bacterial drug resistance, biofilm inhibitors do not affect cell growth and there is less chance of developing resistance. This work sought to identify novel, non-toxic and potent biofilm inhibitors from Streptomyces bacteria for reducing the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Out of 4300 Streptomyces strains, one species produced and secreted peptide(s) to inhibit P. aeruginosa biofilm formation by 93% without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. Global transcriptome analyses (DNA microarray) revealed that the supernatant of the Streptomyces 230 strain induced phenazine, pyoverdine, and pyochelin synthesis genes. Electron microscopy showed that the supernatant of Streptomyces 230 strain reduced the production of polymeric matrix in P. aeruginosa biofilm cells, while the Streptomyces species enhanced swarming motility of P. aeruginosa. Therefore, current study suggests that Streptomyces bacteria are an important resource of biofilm inhibitors as well as antibiotics.

Project description:We used ChIP-seq to map binding of the CRISPR surveillance complex, Cascade, in a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain lacking the gene encoding the endonuclease Cas3. We performed ChIP-seq in strains with wild-type and mutant sequences upstream of the two CRISPR arrays, and in strains with wild-type and mutant nusE genes to determine the impact of Nus factor antitermination on CRISPR array function.
