Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, PA4207 (mexI)

Annotation Updates

Date	Description	Acknowledgements
Nov 27, 2002	Annotation of a gene previously described as probable RND efflux transporter (class 3), with no gene name. New gene name: mexI. New protein name confidence: class 1. New genomic context: Part of mexGHI-opmD cluster; MexGHI-OpmD efflux pump confers resistance to vanadium and is probably involved in acyl-homoserine lactone homeostasis. New pathway: Quorum sensing. Added evidence reference (PubMed ID): 12177331. Changes approved by new rerference author (Pierre Cornelis, Laboratory of Microbial Interactions, Department of Immunology, Parasitology and Ultrastructure, Flanders Interuniversity Institute of Biotechnology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Paardenstraat 65, B-1640 Sint Genesius Rode, Belgium).

Apr 29, 2002	Subcellular localization information added based on significance similarity to protein of known localization. Localization: Inner membrane protein. Localization Rating: Class 2.	Jennifer L. Gardy & Fiona Brinkman, Simon Fraser University, Canada
