Abstract
Cas4 nucleases are conserved factors in many CRISPR systems, yet their molecular role has remained enigmatic. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Shiimori etal. (2018) report that two Cas4 nucleases together determine the size, orientation, and PAM for foreign DNA snippets acquired by CRISPR loci as immunological memory.
