Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm system
traitmech:000403 · CLASS · PROPOSED
A phage defense system in which an organism possesses a two-protein Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm locus represented by DefenseFinder as a two-profile Rst_RT-Tm model requiring Rst_RT-Tm__RT and Rst_RT-Tm__RT-Tm and experimentally linked to AL505_P2 protection when expressed in Escherichia coli.

Discussions and Knowledge Gaps
Resolve Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm native host breadth, the Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm and Rst_RT-Tm namespace relationship, accession-level RT/RT-Tm roles, the relationship to UG5-large source naming, and the mechanism of AL505_P2 restriction before minting narrower Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm mechanism children.
Rousset et al. support a two-gene P4-hotspot system that combines a group-5 reverse transcriptase with a C-terminal nitrilase domain and a transmembrane effector, and DefenseFinder maps Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm to a required two-profile Rst_RT-Tm model. This first system-level record leaves native host breadth, exact profile-to-gene mapping, the model-namespace mismatch, the relationship to UG5-large source naming, the molecular activities of the RT and RT-Tm components, and the AL505_P2 restriction mechanism unresolved.

MINTED_TRAITMECH_ID · codex
Minted Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm system as a DOI/stable-URL-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_v280.

·
REVIEW_CANONICAL_EXAMPLE_EVIDENCE_GAP · codex
Reviewed Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm during canonical-example issue 444 enforcement and left canonical_examples empty because the sources support a cloned P4-hotspot RT/RT-Tm locus assayed in Escherichia coli and a DefenseFinder RefSeq model example, but not a direct native microbial host exemplar with experimentally verified Rst_RT-nitrilase-Tm activity. No paid research was used.
