Organism |
in TTV1, the Cas4 gene has been split into two, with the N-terminal portion becoming TP1, and lost some of the catalytic amino acid residues, apparently resulting in the inactivation of the nuclease, sequence analysis and comparison of TTV1 nucleocapsid protein TP1 |

evolution |
a capsid protein, TTV1 nucleocapsid protein TP1, of a filamentous archaeal virus, Thermoproteus tenax virus 1 (TTV1), evolved relatively recently through exaptation from a CRISPR-associated Cas4 nuclease. The corresponding surface in Cas4 is shielded by the C-terminal domain, suggesting that removal of this domain is a prerequisite for the transformation of the ancestral TTV1 Cas4 into a nucleocapsid protein |

physiological function |
the nucleocapsid protein (TP1) of Thermoproteus tenax virus 1 (TTV1) is a derivative of the Cas4 nuclease, a component of the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity system |
