Type I CRISPR-Cas systems employ multi-subunit Cascade effector complexes to target foreign nucleic acids for destruction. Here, we present structures of D. vulgaris type I-C Cascade at various stages of double-stranded (ds)DNA target capture, revealing mechanisms that underpin PAM recognition and Cascade allosteric activation. We uncover an interesting mechanism of non-target strand (NTS) DNA stabilization via stacking interactions with the “belly” subunits, securing the NTS in place. This “molecular seatbelt” mechanism facilitates efficient R-loop formation and prevents dsDNA reannealing. Additionally, we provide structural insights into how two anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins utilize distinct strategies to achieve a shared mechanism of type I-C Cascade inhibition by blocking PAM scanning. These observations form a structural basis for directional R-loop formation and reveal how different Acr proteins have converged upon common molecular mechanisms to efficiently shut down CRISPR immunity. O’Brien et al. show how the type I-C CRISPR-Cascade complex selectively recognizes and unwinds DNA targets, and how the evicted non-target strand is stabilized via aromatic clamp residues. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which two distinct anti-CRISPR proteins target this process is revealed.
