Reve system

traitmech:000499 · CLASS · PROPOSED

A phage defense system in which an organism possesses a single-gene Reve antiviral locus that is encoded by P4-like phage satellites and can protect bacteria from bacteriophage infection.

Trait evidence (4)

  • DOI:10.1093/nar/gkag898
    The Reve system is another single-gene system, with ATPase and KAP family P-loop domains

    de Sousa et al. identify Reve as a single-gene P4 defense system with ATPase and KAP-family P-loop domain annotations.

  • DOI:10.1093/nar/gkag898
    with most (e.g. Bandua, Aernus, Toga, and Reve) providing strong protection against phages of different families

    de Sousa et al. identify Reve among the novel P4-associated systems that provided strong protection against phage challenge.

  • DOI:10.1093/nar/gkag898
    Our experimental validation of anti-phage activity for 13 novel systems encoded by P4 confirms

    de Sousa et al. summarize the validated P4-encoded novel-system cohort in their discussion.

    The pinned DefenseFinder article registry maps the Reve source key to the de Sousa et al. P4/P2 antiviral-repertoire paper preprint.

Reve loci confer bacterial phage defense

Conservative system-level sketch linking possession of a Reve locus to restricted bacteriophage propagation without asserting the unresolved trigger or molecular output.

NONMECHANISTIC · The graph captures Reve as a named single-gene P4 anti-phage system while leaving its phage trigger, molecular substrate, ATPase/P-loop role, antiviral effector output, source-locus breadth, and DefenseFinder HMM/rule model coverage unresolved.

Edge evidence

  • Reve locus contributes to restricted phage propagation RO:0002326

    Reve loci are among the novel P4-encoded systems that reduced bacteriophage infection.

  • restricted phage propagation confers Reve system METPO:2007700

    Reve-mediated phage protection realizes the Reve system trait.

    • DOI:10.1093/nar/gkag898 with most (e.g. Bandua, Aernus, Toga, and Reve) providing strong protection against phages of different families de Sousa et al. connect Reve to strong protection in the novel-system validation cohort.
  • Reve system is a phage defense system rdfs:subClassOf

    Reve system possession is a phage-defense-system trait.

    • DOI:10.1093/nar/gkag898 13 novel systems encoded by P4 confirms that the contribution of defence functions to the pangenomes of P4 and P2 de Sousa et al. frame Reve and its cohort as newly validated P4-encoded anti-phage defense functions.

Attached to causal_graphs#reve_locus_restricts_phage

de Sousa et al. support Reve as one of the novel single-gene P4-encoded systems with experimental phage-protection activity, and the pinned DefenseFinder article registry maps the Reve source key to the corresponding preprint. The pinned HMM inventory and rules table have no exact Reve rows, and this first-pass record does not resolve the tested source locus, complete phage breadth, exact trigger, molecular output, or detection rule.

Curation history

  1. · MINTED_TRAITMECH_ID · codex

    Minted Reve system as a DOI-backed GENOMICS TraitRecord under phage defense system after an ignored-and-hidden duplicate review found no exact live TraitMech, METPO, history, or prior proposal record; the replacement placeholder is reserved in proposals/metpo_traitmech_v376.

  2. · REVIEW_CANONICAL_EXAMPLE_EVIDENCE_GAP · codex

    Reviewed Reve system canonical_examples and left them empty because de Sousa et al. support P4-encoded Reve phage protection and a DefenseFinder article-registry row, but not a direct named native microbial isolate exemplar with experimentally verified endogenous Reve activity.
