项目摘要
Project Summary
Prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer (HGT) underlines the spread of antibiotic resistance and pathogenic traits.
The battle against antibiotic resistance must be fought on multiple fronts, including the understanding of natural
barriers that microbes use to restrict HGT. Most bacteria rely on the CRISPR-Cas system to establish adaptive
immunity against mobile genetic elements. DNA pieces from these invaders' genome can be captured and
stored as immunological memories termed spacers, at the CRISPR loci. Small, antisense RNAs produced from
CRISPR (crRNAs) will guide Cas enzymes to destroy invaders with a matching target site. In the past decade,
much progress has been made in understanding the CRISPR interference enzymes and their applications in
genetic engineering. However, how microbes acquire their CRISPR memories remains very poorly understood.
In this proposal, we aim to uncover the molecular basis for CRISPR memorization (i.e. spacer adaptation). We
use the gram-negative pathogen Neisseria meningitidis (Nme) as a model organism, due to of its clinical
importance and tractable genetics. Current knowledge about spacer adaptation mostly comes from studies of
the type I CRISPR native to E. coli; products of its conserved cas1-cas2 integrase genes can create functional
memories independently of the interference enzymes. Our recent preliminary
findings
suggest that the type II
CRISPR of N. meningitidis creates memory by a distinct mechanism. The interference genes, Nmecas9 and
tracrRNA co-factor, play important but non-conventional roles in the acquisition of functional spacers. We will
use molecular genetic, genomic and biochemical approaches to address fundamental questions, including:
What are the molecular roles of Cas9 and the CRISPR-encoded tracrRNA in spacer acquisition? What are the
rules governing memory DNA selection? How does Cas9/tracr cooperate with the Cas1-2 integrase? And
finally, how would the anti-CRISPR proteins affect the memorization process?
The proposed research will illuminate the interplay between pathogenic bacteria, their CRISPR systems, and
HGT. This work also promises to guide technology advances, including CRISPR-based novel antimicrobials
that kill specific bacterial pathogens, and Cas9-Cas1-Cas2 based genome-tagging devices that help record
cellular/disease history.
项目摘要
基因水平转移(HGT)强调了抗生素耐药性和致病性状的传播。
对抗抗生素耐药性的斗争必须在多条战线上进行,包括了解天然抗生素的耐药性。
微生物用来限制HGT的屏障大多数细菌依靠CRISPR-Cas系统来建立适应性

在CRISPR基因座上作为称为间隔区的免疫记忆储存。产生的小的反义RNA,
CRISPR(crRNA)将引导Cas酶摧毁具有匹配靶位点的入侵者。在过去十年中,
在理解CRISPR干扰酶及其在生物学中的应用方面已经取得了很大进展,
基因工程然而,微生物如何获得CRISPR记忆仍然知之甚少。
在这项提案中,我们的目标是揭示CRISPR记忆(即间隔区适应)的分子基础。我们
使用革兰氏阴性病原体脑膜炎奈瑟菌(Nme)作为模式生物,由于其临床
