Thank you for the detailled overview of this team effort and your hard work @patrick_pausch! If you want to see beautiful Type IV effector complexes in action, check out: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Structural variation of types IV-A1- and IV-A3-mediated CRISPR interference

Nature Communications - Type IV-A CRISPR-Cas systems diverge from the general CRISPR-Cas mechanism. To understand this system, the authors determine cryo-EM structures of two evolutionarily...

Happy to share our article, published today in NAR: academic.oup.com/nar/advance… Congrats to @mariana_sanlo24, @RandauLab, @ThanbichlerLab, Vicente & @royerht! Thank you so much for the nice work 🍀

Visualization of Type IV-A1 CRISPR-mediated repression of gene expression and plasmid replication

Abstract. Type IV CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) effector complexes are often encode

Do plasmids fight other plasmids? 🧵 So happy our preprint is out!💥And yes indeed, we uncover that type IV-A3 CRISPR-Cas targets other plasmids! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Type IV-A3 CRISPR-Cas systems drive inter-plasmid conflicts by acquiring spacers in trans

Type IV-A CRISPR-Cas systems are primarily encoded on plasmids and form multi-subunit ribonucleoprotein complexes with unknown biological functions. In contrast to other CRISPR-Cas types, they lack...

Thank you to everybody involved and for all the help from @GBM_eV. It was a really fun and productive meeting! I noticed that we are the only lab lacking any Twitter connections and took this as a hint to finally join in.

A big thank you to the scientific organizers of our #MosbacherKolloquium (f.l.t.r.): Cynthia Sharma @SharmaLab1, Lennart Randau, Gunter Meister @MeisterLab, Markus Landthaler @landthaler_m and Mark Helm @AttheHelm3! What a great face-to-face meeting after a two year break 🤩
