Preferred Label : CRISPR-Associated proteins;
MeSH definition : Protein components of the CRISPR-CAS SYSTEMS for anti-viral defense in ARCHAEA and
BACTERIA. These are proteins that carry out a variety of functions during the creation
and expansion of the CRISPR ARRAYS, the capture of new CRISPR SPACERS, biogenesis
of SMALL INTERFERING RNA (CRISPR or crRNAs), and the targeting and silencing of invading
viruses and plasmids. They include DNA HELICASES; RNA-BINDING PROTEINS; ENDONUCLEASES;
and RNA and DNA POLYMERASES.;
MeSH synonym : CRISPR associated proteins; proteins, CRISPR-Associated;
MeSH hyponym : CRISPR-Associated protein complex proteins; Repeat-Associated mysterious proteins; CRISPR Associated Protein Complex Proteins; CRISPR-Associated Complex for Antiviral Defense Proteins; CRISPR Associated Complex for Antiviral Defense Proteins; CASCADE Proteins, CRISPR-Associated; CASCADE Proteins, CRISPR Associated; CRISPR-Associated CASCADE Proteins; Proteins, Repeat-Associated Mysterious; Repeat Associated Mysterious Proteins;
Is substance : O;
