Repetitive nucleic acid sequences that are principal components of the archaeal and bacterial CRISPR-CAS SYSTEMS, which function as adaptive antiviral defense systems.
Copies of nucleic acid sequence that are arranged in opposing orientation. They may lie adjacent to each other (tandem) or be separated by some sequence that is not part of the repeat (hyphenated). They may be true palindromic repeats, i.e. read the same backwards as forward, or complementary which reads as the base complement in the opposite orientation. Complementary inverted repeats have the potential to form hairpin loop or stem-loop structures which results in cruciform structures (such as CRUCIFORM DNA) when the complementary inverted repeats occur in double stranded regions.

A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of proteins in the diet, characterized by adaptive enzyme changes in the liver, increase in amino acid synthetases, and diminution of urea formation, thus conserving nitrogen and reducing its loss in the urine. Growth, immune response, repair, and production of enzymes and hormones are all impaired in severe protein deficiency. Protein deficiency may also arise in the face of adequate protein intake if the protein is of poor quality (i.e., the content of one or more amino acids is inadequate and thus becomes the limiting factor in protein utilization).

CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas proteins) are a group of enzymes that are involved in the CRISPR-Cas immune system, which is found in bacteria and archaea. In this system, the Cas proteins work together to recognize and destroy foreign DNA, such as viruses or plasmids, that have invaded the cell. There are several different types of Cas proteins, each with its own specific function in the CRISPR-Cas system. Some Cas proteins are responsible for recognizing and binding to foreign DNA, while others are responsible for cutting the DNA and destroying it. In recent years, scientists have discovered that some of these Cas proteins can be harnessed for use in gene editing. For example, the Cas9 protein has been used to create targeted double-stranded breaks in DNA, which can then be repaired by the cell's own repair mechanisms. This has led to the development of a new class of gene editing tools known as CRISPR-Cas9, which has revolutionized the field of genetics and has the potential to be used to treat a wide range of diseases.

RNA, Guide, also known as guide RNA or gRNA, is a type of RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in the process of gene editing. Specifically, gRNA is used in a technique called CRISPR-Cas9, which allows scientists to make precise changes to the DNA sequence of an organism. In CRISPR-Cas9, the gRNA molecule is designed to bind to a specific sequence of DNA. Once bound, the Cas9 enzyme is recruited to the site, where it can cut the DNA at that location. This allows scientists to insert, delete, or replace specific genes in an organism's genome. Overall, RNA, Guide is a powerful tool in the field of genetics and has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat genetic diseases and develop new therapies.

In the medical field, "DNA, Intergenic" refers to a segment of DNA that is located between two genes and does not code for any functional protein or RNA molecules. Intergenic DNA makes up a significant portion of the human genome, and its function is not well understood. However, it is believed to play a role in regulating gene expression and may be involved in the development and progression of certain diseases.

RNA, Bacterial refers to the ribonucleic acid molecules that are produced by bacteria. These molecules play a crucial role in the functioning of bacterial cells, including the synthesis of proteins, the regulation of gene expression, and the metabolism of nutrients. Bacterial RNA can be classified into several types, including messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which all have specific functions within the bacterial cell. Understanding the structure and function of bacterial RNA is important for the development of new antibiotics and other treatments for bacterial infections.

Bacterial proteins are proteins that are synthesized by bacteria. They are essential for the survival and function of bacteria, and play a variety of roles in bacterial metabolism, growth, and pathogenicity. Bacterial proteins can be classified into several categories based on their function, including structural proteins, metabolic enzymes, regulatory proteins, and toxins. Structural proteins provide support and shape to the bacterial cell, while metabolic enzymes are involved in the breakdown of nutrients and the synthesis of new molecules. Regulatory proteins control the expression of other genes, and toxins can cause damage to host cells and tissues. Bacterial proteins are of interest in the medical field because they can be used as targets for the development of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. They can also be used as diagnostic markers for bacterial infections, and as vaccines to prevent bacterial diseases. Additionally, some bacterial proteins have been shown to have therapeutic potential, such as enzymes that can break down harmful substances in the body or proteins that can stimulate the immune system.

RNA, Archaeal refers to ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that are found in archaea, which are a group of single-celled microorganisms that are distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. Archaeal RNA molecules play important roles in various cellular processes, including gene expression, protein synthesis, and regulation of gene expression. They are characterized by their unique structural features and their ability to function under extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and acidic pH levels. Understanding the structure and function of archaeal RNA molecules is important for understanding the biology of these microorganisms and for developing new strategies for treating diseases caused by archaeal infections.

In the medical field, "Crk-associated substrate protein" refers to a group of proteins that are involved in cell signaling and adhesion. These proteins are associated with the Crk family of adaptor proteins, which play a role in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and migration. The Crk-associated substrate proteins include several members, such as Nck, Pak1, and Grb2, which are involved in various cellular processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and survival. These proteins are often dysregulated in various diseases, including cancer, and are therefore being studied as potential therapeutic targets. Overall, the Crk-associated substrate proteins are important regulators of cell signaling and adhesion, and their dysregulation can contribute to the development of various diseases.

DNA, Bacterial refers to the genetic material of bacteria, which is a type of single-celled microorganism that can be found in various environments, including soil, water, and the human body. Bacterial DNA is typically circular in shape and contains genes that encode for the proteins necessary for the bacteria to survive and reproduce. In the medical field, bacterial DNA is often studied as a means of identifying and diagnosing bacterial infections. Bacterial DNA can be extracted from samples such as blood, urine, or sputum and analyzed using techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or DNA sequencing. This information can be used to identify the specific type of bacteria causing an infection and to determine the most effective treatment. Bacterial DNA can also be used in research to study the evolution and diversity of bacteria, as well as their interactions with other organisms and the environment. Additionally, bacterial DNA can be modified or manipulated to create genetically engineered bacteria with specific properties, such as the ability to produce certain drugs or to degrade pollutants.

Protein deficiency is a condition in which the body does not receive enough protein to maintain normal bodily functions. Protein is an essential nutrient that is required for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues in the body, including muscles, bones, skin, and organs. Protein deficiency can occur due to a variety of reasons, including poor diet, malnutrition, certain medical conditions, and certain medications. Symptoms of protein deficiency may include fatigue, weakness, weight loss, hair loss, skin problems, and anemia. In severe cases, protein deficiency can lead to more serious health problems, such as muscle wasting, organ damage, and even death. Treatment for protein deficiency typically involves increasing protein intake through a balanced diet or supplements, depending on the underlying cause of the deficiency.
