Adaptation in CRISPR-Cas systems immunizes bacteria and archaea against mobile genetic
10 elements. In many DNA-targeting systems, the Cas4-Cas1-Cas2 complex is required for selection
11 and processing of DNA segments containing PAM sequences, prior to integration of these
12 “prespacer” substrates as spacers in the CRISPR array. We determined cryo-EM structures of the
13 Cas4-Cas1-Cas2 adaptation complex from the type I-C system that encodes st...
