VP1817 system

traitmech:000487 · CLASS · PROPOSED

A phage defense system in which an organism possesses a VP1817-family locus represented by the DefenseFinder VP1817__VP1817 custom HMM profile and experimentally linked to reduced bacteriophage plaquing when the cloned Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD 2210633 vp1817 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.

VP1817 loci reduce bacteriophage plaquing

Conservative system-level sketch linking VP1817-family locus possession to reduced bacteriophage plaquing without resolving VP1817 component function or molecular output.

NONMECHANISTIC · The graph captures VP1817 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#vp1817_locus_reduces_bacteriophage_plaquing

Getz et al. support VP1817 as one of nine RIMD 2210633 integron-encoded cassettes whose cloned expression reduced phage plaquing, Supplementary Tables 8, 9, and 12 map VP1817 to VP_RS08765/VP1817, WP_024699215.1, VSV105-vp1817, and phage-plating fold changes, and Supplementary Data 1 reports PSI-BLAST homologs. The pinned DefenseFinder HMM inventory records one VP1817 custom profile row. The pinned rules table has no VP1817 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 VP1817 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_v364 reserves the replacement placeholder.
2026-09-30T08:41:54Z · REVIEW_CANONICAL_EXAMPLE_EVIDENCE_GAP · codex
Reviewed VP1817 system canonical_examples and left them empty because Getz et al. directly support cloned VP1817 VSV105-plasmid assays, PSI-BLAST homologs, and a DefenseFinder VP1817 model, but not a direct named native microbial isolate exemplar with experimentally verified endogenous VP1817 activity. No paid research was used.
