Csa3a triggers CRISPR spacer acquisition in Sulfolobus. (A) Spacer acquisition was detected by PCR for both loci in csa3a overexpression strain. C1: S. islandicus E233S strain, C2: E233S carrying empty vector pSeSD, OEcsa3a: E233S carrying csa3a overexpression plasmid. The csa3a expression plasmid is shown with individual genes indicated (B and C). Locations of the protospacers corresponding to newly acquired plasmid-derived spacers on locus 1 (B) and locus 2 (C) are shown in the inner (forward strand) and outer (reverse strand) circles.
