Short description: RNA transcript from the CRISPR locus

CRISPR RNA or crRNA is a RNA transcript from the CRISPR locus.[1] CRISPR-Cas (clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats - CRISPR associated systems) is an adaptive immune system found in bacteria and archaea to protect against mobile genetic elements, like viruses, plasmids, and transposons.[2] The CRISPR locus contains a series of repeats interspaced with unique spacers. These unique spacers can be acquired from MGEs.[2]

Transcripts of the CRISPR Genetic Locus and Maturation of pre-crRNA.

Pre-crRNA is formed after the transcription of the CRISPR locus and before being processed by Cas proteins. Mature crRNA transcripts contain a partial conserved section of repeat and a sequence of spacer that is complementary to the target DNA.[3] crRNA forms an effector complex with a single nuclease or multiple Cas proteins called a Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense).[3][1] Once the effector complex is formed a Cas nuclease or single effector protein will cause interference guided by the crRNA match.[4]

Function

Type-I

Type-I CRISPR systems are characterized by Cas3, a nuclease-helicase protein, and the multi-subunit Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense). The crRNA can form a complex with the Cas proteins in the Cascade and guide the complex to the target DNA sequence. Cas3 is recruited for the nuclease-helicase activity.[5]

Typically in the Cascade, Cas6 generates the mature crRNAs while Cas5 and Cas7 process and stabilize the crRNA.[6]

Type-II

Type-II CRISPR systems[7] are characterized by the single signature nuclease Cas9.[8] In type-II CRISPR systems crRNA and tracrRNA (trans-activating CRISPR RNA) can form a complex known as the guide RNA or gRNA.[9] The crRNA within the gRNA is what matches up with the target sequence or protospacer after the PAM is found. Once the match is made Cas9 will make a double-stranded break.

Stages of CRISPR immunity for type-I, type-II, and type-III.

Type-III

Type-III CRISPR systems are characterized by Cas10, an RNA cleaving protein.[10] Similar to type-I, a large subunit effector complex is formed and crRNA guides the complex to the target sequence. Cas6 helps to generate the mature crRNA.[10]

Type-IV

Type-IV CRISPR systems do not have an effector nuclease and are associated with plasmids and prophages. A Cas6-like enzyme is associated with the maturation of the crRNA. Not all type-IV systems have a CRISPR locus and therefore do not have crRNA.[11]

Type-V

Type-V CRISPR systems are characterized by Cas12, a nuclease that can cleave ssDNA, dsDNA, and RNA.[7] Like Cas9, Cas12 is the single effector nuclease. Type-V systems process pre-crRNA without tracrRNA. The mature crRNA in complex with Cas12 target the DNA sequence of interest and cleave the DNA.[12]

Type-VI

Type-VI CRISPR systems are characterized by Cas13, a single effector protein that targets RNA. Like the type-V system, Cas13 can process the pre-crRNA without tracrRNA. The mature crRNA in complex with Cas13 guides the complex to the target RNA and degrades it.[13]
