Members of this entry are found, exclusively in the vicinity of CRISPR repeats and other CRISPR-associated (cas) genes, in Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus (Methanobacterium thermoformicicum), Thermus thermophilus (Deinococcus-Thermus), Chloroflexus aurantiacus (Chloroflexi), and Thermomicrobium roseum (Thermomicrobia). Among its members is Csm6 from Thermus thermophilus, a ssRNA-specific endoribonuclease that provides an auxiliary RNA-targeting interference mechanism in type III-A CRISPR-Cas systems, working together with the RNA- and DNA-targeting endonuclease activities of the Csm effector complex. Csm6 consists of a CARF domain at the N-terminal, a six-helix (6H) central domain and the HEPN domain at the C-terminal, which is represented in this entry [1-3]. This domain forms a dimer that constitutes a composite ribonuclease active site.
This entry represents the six-helix domain (6H) of Csm6 from Thermus termophilus and relates sequences [1]. Csm6 is a ssRNA-specific endoribonuclease that provides an auxiliary RNA-targeting interference mechanism in type III-A CRISPR-Cas systems, wo ...
This entry represents the six-helix domain (6H) of Csm6 from Thermus termophilus and relates sequences [1].

Csm6 consists of a CARF domain at the N-terminal, a 6H central domain and the HEPN domain (Pfam:PF09670) at the C-terminal [1-3].
