| Description | CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) is an adaptive immune system that provides protection against mobile genetic elements (viruses, transposable elements and conjugative plasmids). CRISPR clusters contain spacers, sequences complementary to antecedent mobile elements, and target invading nucleic acids. CRISPR clusters are transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNA (crRNA). This entry represents the Cas7 (DevR) protein which has a role in fruiting body development, sporulation and aggregation. Expression begins by 6 hours after starvation has initiated development and is under strong negative autoregulation [ , ]. |
