Abstract

The CRISPR/Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-Associated Genes) and CRISPR/Cmr systems (Cmr: Cas module-RAMP (Repeat-Associated Mysterious Proteins)) provide the basis for adaptive and hereditable immune responses directed against the DNA and RNA, respectively, of invading elements. The former consists of CRISPR loci physically linked to a cassette of cas genes which together appear to constitute integral genetic modules. cmr genes, clustered in Cmr modules, are sometimes physically linked to CRISPR/Cas modules. The CRISPR/Cas immune system occurs in almost all archaea and about 40 % of bacteria. Cmr modules are less common, occurring in only about one third of genomes carrying CRISPR/Cas modules. An outline of how the CRISPR/Cas and CRISPR/Cmr systems function is indicated in Figure 1 where the former targets DNA and the latter RNA (mRNA and/or viral RNA) of the genetic elements.
