Phage satellites pose additional pressures on phages by hijacking key viral elements to their own benefit. Here, we show that E. coli P2-like phages and their parasitic P4-like satellites carry hotspots of genetic variation containing reservoirs of anti-phage systems. We validate the activity of diverse systems and describe PARIS, an abortive infection system triggered by a phage-encoded anti-restriction protein. Antiviral hotspots participate in inter-viral competition and shape dynamics between the bacterial host, P2-like phages, and P4-like satellites. Notably, the anti-phage activity of satellites can benefit the helper phage during competition with virulent phages, turning a parasitic relationship into a mutualistic one. Anti-phage hotspots are present across distant species and constitute a substantial source of systems that participate in the competition between mobile genetic elements. + Sensor: Unknown + Activator: Unknown + Effector: Unknown PFAM: PF13676 +contributors: + - Alba Herrero del Valle + +relevantAbstracts: + - doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2022.02.018 + --- # Rst_2TM_1TM_TIR + +## Description + +The Rst_2TM_1TM_TIR system is carried by the P2-like phage AC1 and protects *Escherichia coli* C against lambda, LF82_P8 and P2 phages. This system is composed of three proteins, Rst_TIR_tm, that contains a TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domain, Rst_1TM_TIR, that contains a transmembrane helix (TM) and Rst_2TM_TIR, that contains two TMs :ref{doi=10.1016/j.chom.2022.02.018}.
