CRISPR systems are widespread in the prokaryotic world, providing adaptive immunity against mobile genetic elements1,2. Type III CRISPR systems, with the signature gene cas10, use CRISPR RNA to detect non-self RNA, activating the enzymatic Cas10 subunit to defend the cell against mobile genetic elements either directly, via the integral histidine–aspartate (HD) nuclease domain3,4,5 or indirectly, via synthesis of cyclic oligoadenylate second messengers to activate diverse ancillary effectors6,7,8,9. A subset of type III CRISPR systems encode an uncharacterized CorA-family membrane protein and an associated NrN family phosphodiesterase that are predicted to function in antiviral defence. Here we demonstrate that the CorA-associated type III-B (Cmr) CRISPR system from Bacteroides fragilis provides immunity against mobile genetic elements when expressed in Escherichia coli. However, B. fragilis Cmr does not synthesize cyclic oligoadenylate species on activation, instead generating S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)-AMP (SAM is also known as AdoMet) by conjugating ATP to SAM via a phosphodiester bond. Once synthesized, SAM-AMP binds to the CorA effector, presumably leading to cell dormancy or death by disruption of the membrane integrity. SAM-AMP is degraded by CRISPR-associated phosphodiesterases or a SAM-AMP lyase, potentially providing an ‘off switch’ analogous to cyclic oligoadenylate-specific ring nucleases10. SAM-AMP thus represents a new class of second messenger for antiviral signalling, which may function in different roles in diverse cellular contexts.

Mucin induces CRISPR-Cas defense in an opportunistic pathogen
de Freitas Almeida, Gabriel Magno; Hoikkala, Ville; Ravantti, Janne; Rantanen, Noora; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Nature Publishing Group, 2022)Parasitism by bacteriophages has led to the evolution of a variety of defense mechanisms in their host bacteria. However, it is unclear what factors lead to specific defenses being deployed upon phage infection. To explore ... -

Hoikkala, Ville; De Freitas Almeida, Gabriel; Laanto, Elina; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Royal Society, 2019)So far, studies on the bacterial immune system CRISPR-Cas and its ecological and evolutionary effects have been largely limited to laboratory conditions. While providing crucial information on the constituents of CRISPR-Cas, ... -
Long-term genomic coevolution of host-parasite interaction in the natural environment
Laanto, Elina; Hoikkala, Ville; Ravantti, Janne; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)Antagonistic coevolution of parasite infectivity and host resistance may alter the biological functionality of species, yet these dynamics in nature are still poorly understood. Here we show the molecular details of a ...
