NameCRISPR system, III-B/RAMP module subtype
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionCRISPR repeats are by definition Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, described by Jansen [1]. Certain proteins, including Cas1 to Cas4, are found only in genomes with CRISPR repeats, and are near these repeats. The repeats vary in size from 24 to 48 bp, interspaced by similarly sized non-repetitive sequences. Variants of CRISP/Cas loci (subtypes) have been described (Haft, et al., 2005 in which certain groups of subtype-specific genes are found in addition to characteristic sets of the more widely distributed cas genes. These subtype-specific genes are found proximal to the cas core genes and the CRISPR repeats. Unlike these, the set of CRISPR-associated genes represented here are always found in in genomes which also contain CRISPRs, but may be located at a remote site on the genome from the core genes and repeats. Several of these genes belong to the RAMP (Repeat-Associated Mystery Protein) family, so this 6-gene cassette is called the CRISPR RAMP module.
