title: Rst_PARIS
Description
PARIS (for Phage Anti-Restriction-Induced System) is a novel anti-phage system. PARIS is found in 4% of prokaryotic genomes. It comprises an ATPase associated with a DUF4435 protein, which can be found either as a two-gene cassette or a single-gene fusion (1).
This system relies on an unknown Abortive infection mechanism to trigger growth arrest upon sensing a phage-encoded protein (Ocr). Interestingly, the Ocr protein has been found to inhibit R-M systems and BREX systems, making PARIS a suitable defense mechanism against RM resistant and/or BREX resistant phages (1, 2, 3).

Here is some example found in the RefSeq database:
PARIS_I subsystem in the genome of Salmonella enterica (GCF_020715485.1) is composed of 2 proteins: AAA_15 (WP_001520831.1)and, DUF4435 (WP_010989064.1).
PARIS_II subsystem in the genome of Enterobacter cloacae (GCF_023238665.1) is composed of 2 proteins: DUF4435 (WP_071830092.1)and, AAA_21 (WP_061772587.1).
PARIS_II_merge subsystem in the genome of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (GCF_017815575.1) is composed of 1 protein: AAA_21_DUF4435 (WP_209818471.1).
PARIS_I_merge subsystem in the genome of Sideroxydans lithotrophicus (GCF_000025705.1) is composed of 1 protein: AAA_15_DUF4435 (WP_013030315.1).
