VIPR RNA-guided DNA recognition by noncontiguous geometric triplex formation

Viral interference programmable repeat (VIPR) systems use a noncontiguous code for RNA-guided transcriptional silencing. How the Vipr protein and a VIPR RNA (vrRNA) comprising alternating GGY and NN segments achieve precise DNA targeting is unknown. Here, we present 21 cryo–elect...
