Synechococcus elongatus Argonaute reduces natural transformation efficiency and provides immunity against exogenous plasmids

The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 produces an active prokaryotic Argonaute nuclease, SeAgo, whose function is unknown. Here, we show that SeAgo reduces natural transformation and prevents the maintenance of RSF1010 replicons in S. elongatus. In addition, a Cas4-like nuclease and tw...
