Abstract

Zhu et al. report biochemical and structural data that suggest molecular mechanisms of AcrIIC2- and AcrIIC3-mediated inhibition of Cas9. The two inhibitors employ distinct means to block Cas9 activity that include binding to different regions, targeting distinct steps of catalysis, and inhibiting different scopes of Cas9 orthologs.
