Clusters of regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and cas (CRISPR-associated) operon form an RNA-based adaptive immune system against foreign genetic elements in prokaryotes. Type I account for 95% of CRISPR systems, and have been utilized to control gene expression and cell fate. During CRISPR RNA (crRNA)-guided interference, Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defense) facilitates crRNA-guided invasion of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) for complementary base-pairing with the target DNA strand, while displacing the non-target strand, forming an R-loop. Cas3 nuclease/helicase is recruited subsequently to degrade two DNA strands. Protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) flanking target DNA is crucial for self vs. foreign discrimination. Here we present a 2.45 Å crystal structure of E. coli Cascade bound to a foreign dsDNA target. The 5′-ATG PAM is recognized in double-stranded form, from the minor groove side, by three structural features in Cse1. The promiscuity inherent to minor groove DNA recognition rationalizes the puzzling observation that a single Cascade can respond to several distinct PAM sequences. Optimal PAM recognition coincides with a wedge insertion, initiating the directional target DNA strand unwinding for segmented base-pairing with crRNA. The non-target strand is guided along a parallel path 25 Å apart, and the R-loop structure is further stabilized by locking this strand behind Cse2 dimer. These observations provide the structure basis for understanding the PAM-dependent directional R-loop formation process.
