Usage and Biology

cas3 belongs to a series of genes responsible for CRISPR interference to work. cas3 has been described as a protein essential to the functionality of the Cascade (CRISPR-associated complex for antiviral defence) complex. The cas3 protein is believed to be a helicase that assists mature CRISPR transcripts (RNA) to enable interference with virus proliferation in vivo.

In the chart above, BL-D1 are the cells without IPTG, BL-D2 are with IPTG; and for BL-D3, we add IPTG 2 hours later. IPTG can induce CRISPR to target the plasmid. As we can see from the chart, with cas3 and CRISPR, the growth rate and optical density are decreased significantly compare to the cells without IPTG.
