CRISPR has also been used to cure malaria in mosquitos, which could eliminate the vector and the disease in humans. [171] CRISPR may also have applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, such as by creating human blood vessels that lack expression of MHC class II proteins, which often cause transplant rejection. [172]
Subsequently, CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex expanded their collaboration to include diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and type 1 diabetes. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] In 2016, the company signed an agreement with Bayer AG to operate Casebia Therapeutics as a joint venture with Bayer under the management of CRISPR Therapeutics. [ 11 ]
CRISPR-associated transposons or CASTs are mobile genetic elements that have evolved to make use of minimal CRISPR systems for RNA-guided transposition of their DNA. [1] Unlike traditional CRISPR systems that contain interference mechanisms to degrade targeted DNA, CASTs lack proteins and/or protein domains responsible for DNA cleavage. [ 2 ]
The system has 2 CRISPR loci and 9 Cas genes. It seems to be homologous to the I-F system found in Yersinia pestis. Moreover, like the bacterial CRISPR-Cas system, ICP1 CRISPR-Cas can acquire new sequences, which allows phage and host to co-evolve. [177] [178] Certain archaeal viruses were shown to carry mini-CRISPR arrays containing one or two ...
