In this issue of Molecular Cell, Smargon et al. (2017) unearth Cas13b from type VI-B CRISPR-Cas immune systems and characterize its RNA-guided, RNA-targeting activity, including regulation by the novel co-factors Csx27 and Csx28, as well as non-specific collateral RNA damage.
在本期《分子细胞》中,Smargon 等人(2017)从 VI-B 型 CRISPR-Cas 免疫系统中挖掘出 Cas13b,并对其 RNA 指导的、靶向 RNA 的活性进行了表征,包括由新型共因子 Csx27 和 Csx28 以及非特异性的 RNA 损伤的调控。
