Abstract The CRISPR-Cas system provides adaptive immunity for bacteria
and archaea against invading phages and foreign plasmids. In the Class 1
CRISPR-Cas system, multi-subunit Cas proteins assemble with crRNA to bind to
DNA targets. To disarm the bacterial defense system, bacteriophages evolved anti-CRISPR
(Acr) proteins that actively inhibit the host CRISPR-Cas function. Here we
report the backbone resonance assignments of AcrIF7 protein that inhibits the type
I-F CRISPR-Cas system of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa using triple-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We
employed various computational methods to predict the structure and binding
interface of AcrIF7, and assessed the model with experimental data. AcrIF7 binds
to Cas8f protein via flexible loop regions to inhibit target DNA binding,
suggesting that conformational heterogeneity is important for the Cas–Acr
interaction.
