Overview:
TtCsm6 is a dimeric RNA endonuclease associated with type III CRISPR-Cas systems (1). Like other Csm6 family proteins, TtCsm6 consists of a CARF (CRISPR associated Rossman fold) domain which binds cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) and a HEPN (Higher Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes Nucleotide binding) domain which possesses ribonuclease activity (2). Upon activation, by the cyclic oligoadenylate the Csm6 HEPN active site degrades invasive RNA non-specifically. This property of the enzyme has been leveraged for the development of sensitive and robust nucleic acid detection tools with applications in both basic research and therapeutics development (4).
