VP1796 system

traitmech:000486 · CLASS · PROPOSED

A phage defense system in which an organism possesses a VP1796-family locus represented by the DefenseFinder VP1796__VP1796 custom HMM profile and experimentally linked to reduced bacteriophage plaquing when the cloned Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD 2210633 vp1796 cassette is expressed from a VSV105 plasmid.

Intrigued by this discovery, we cloned 57 integron gene cassettes and identified 9 previously unrecognized systems that mediate defence.

Getz et al. identify nine previously unrecognized Vibrio parahaemolyticus integron cassettes as anti-phage defense systems.

VP1796 loci reduce bacteriophage plaquing

Conservative system-level sketch linking VP1796-family locus possession to reduced bacteriophage plaquing without resolving VP1796 component function or molecular output.

NONMECHANISTIC · The graph captures VP1796 as a RIMD 2210633 integron cassette with cloned phage-plating readouts, a PSI-BLAST homolog lead, one pinned DefenseFinder custom HMM-profile row, and no pinned DefenseFinder rule row. It does not assert native host breadth, exact profile-to-protein correspondence, molecular activity, phage trigger, substrate, complete homolog boundary, endogenous activity, or rule-level DefenseFinder detection criteria.

Attached to causal_graphs#vp1796_locus_reduces_bacteriophage_plaquing

Getz et al. support VP1796 as one of nine RIMD 2210633 integron-encoded cassettes whose cloned expression reduced phage plaquing, Supplementary Tables 8, 9, and 12 map VP1796 to VP_RS08620/Vp1796, WP_005477844.1, VSV105-vp1796, and phage-plating fold changes, and Supplementary Data 1 reports PSI-BLAST homologs. The pinned DefenseFinder HMM inventory records one VP1796 custom profile row. The pinned rules table has no VP1796 row, and the first-pass record does not resolve native host breadth, complete phage breadth, direct profile-to-protein correspondence, molecular output, or endogenous activity.

Minted VP1796 system as a DOI-backed GENOMICS TraitRecord under phage defense system after an ignored-and-hidden duplicate review found no exact same-scope live TraitMech, METPO, history, or prior proposal record; kept the graph at cloned integron-cassette level because molecular output, native activity, and rule rows remain unresolved; proposals/metpo_traitmech_v363 reserves the replacement placeholder.
2026-09-30T07:47:01Z · REVIEW_CANONICAL_EXAMPLE_EVIDENCE_GAP · codex
Reviewed VP1796 system canonical_examples and left them empty because Getz et al. directly support cloned VP1796 VSV105-plasmid assays, PSI-BLAST homologs, and a DefenseFinder VP1796 model, but not a direct named native microbial isolate exemplar with experimentally verified endogenous VP1796 activity. No paid research was used.
