This domain is found at the C-terminal end of CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 from Staphylococcus aureus (Cas9). This protein adopts a bilobed architecture consisting of a REC lobe and a NUC lobe connected by an arginine-rich bridge helix and a linker loop. The C-terminal region, known as the PI domain, can be divided into a Topoisomerase-homology (TOPO) domain (Pfam:PF18070) and a C- terminal domain (this entry). This domain forms a twisted six- stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet [1,2].
This domain, known as the wedge (WED) domain, is found in Cas9 proteins which are present in Staphylococcus aureus. Cas9 cleaves double-stranded DNA targets with a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and complementarity to the guide RNA. The Cas9 WED do ...
This domain, known as the wedge (WED) domain, is found in Cas9 proteins which are present in Staphylococcus aureus. Cas9 cleaves double-stranded DNA targets with a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and complementarity to the guide RNA. The Cas9 WED domain has a fold comprising a twisted five-stranded beta sheet flanked by four alpha helices, and is responsible for the recognition of the distorted repeat: anti-repeat duplex. WED domains are responsible for the recognition of single-guide RNA scaffolds [1].

This entry represent a RuvC endonuclease domain (RNAseH-like) domain found in CRISPR-Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes and related sequences [1-5]. This domain, and the HNH (Pfam:PF13395) domain of Cas9, are used to cleave the DNA strands complementary (target) and non-complementary (non-target) to the crRNA, respectively [5]. This domain is related to Pfam:PF18541.

This domain is found in Cas9 proteins which can be Staphylococcus aureus. Cas9 cleaves double-stranded DNA targets with a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and complementarity to the guide RNA. When this domain is combined with the C-terminal domain it is called the Pam-interacting (PI) domain. The Cas9 orthologs from different microbes have highly divergent sequences but their PI domains share a conserved core fold and recognize distinct PAM sequences [1].
