Gene Feature Overview

Strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Reference)
GCF_000006765.1|latest
Locus Tag
PA2492
Name
mexT
Replicon chromosome
Genomic location 2807469 - 2808512 (+ strand)
Transposon Mutants 5 transposon mutants in PAO1
Transposon Mutants in orthologs 4 transposon mutants in orthologs
CommentContains an 8_bp insertion at 2807703-2807710 which is the result of a duplication of the preceding 8_bp GGCCAGCC sequence at 2807695-2807702. When translated from this start codon, premature termination occurs at 2807857-2807859 and a MexT polypeptide of 89 amino acids is encoded (PMID:31859619).
Comment PAO1 strains containing the 8_bp insertion are unable to express MexEF-OprN due to a non-functional MexT(PMID: 11040437)
