Fig. 1. Cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the IsrB–ωRNA-target DNA complex.

Fig. 1

a, Locus architecture and guide RNAs for IsrB (left) and Cas9 (right). b, Domain architecture of Streptococcus pyogenes SpCas9 (top) and D. thermocuniculi IsrB (DtIsrB) (bottom). c, Schematic of IsrB in complex with the ωRNA and the target DNA. The partial DNA duplex containing the TAM and target sequences used for the structural study are shown in sequence letters. d,e, Cryo-EM-density map (d) and structural model (e) of the IsrB–ωRNA-target DNA complex. Dashed lines represent poorly resolved regions of ωRNA. TE, transposon end; DR, direct repeat; NUC, nuclease; PI, PAM-interacting; PLL, phosphate-lock loop; TI, TAM-interacting; TS, target strand; NTS, non-target strand.
