Type III CRISPR systems are endowed with multiple immune activities, including target RNA cleavage, RNA-activated DNA cleavage and the cOA synthesis among which molecular mechanism remains elusive for the DNase. Here, DNase of LdCsm is investigated. Structural modeling revealed two HD loop segments. Cas10 mutants carrying either loop truncation or amino acid substitution in the HD domain are generated and characterized. We found each HD loop contains a substrate-binding site essential for its immunity. In fact, the substrate binding requires a tripartite motif composed of the two loop binding sites and the HD catalytic site. We demonstrate cognate target RNA (CTR) remodels the tripartite motif to activate the LdCsm DNase in two consecutive events: (a) it reduces the flexibility of LD-L1 and facilitates the simultaneous substrate binding at both loops, (b) the bound substrate is then propelled into the catalytic site via LD-L2 oscillation, driving the substrate into the catalytic site for DNA cleavage.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
