“…All Acrs characterized to date function by inhibiting either the CRISPR surveillance complexes or the effector nucleases ( Bondy-Denomy et al., 2015 , Pawluk et al., 2016b , Pawluk et al., 2017 , Wang et al., 2016a , Wang et al., 2016b , Chowdhury et al., 2017 , Dong et al., 2017 , Guo et al., 2017 , Harrington et al., 2017 , Hynes et al., 2017 , Peng et al., 2017 , Rauch et al., 2017 , Shin et al., 2017 , Yang and Patel, 2017 , Hong et al., 2018 ). These acr genes were first identified in temperate Pseudomonas phages ( Bondy-Denomy et al., 2013 ) and can rescue phage from CRISPR-mediated extinction ( van Houte et al., 2016b ).…”
