Gene_nameExperimentally Verified Resistance Gene Information Predicted Resistance Gene Information
merB3
  • BacMet ID: BAC0656
  • Code for: Enzyme
  • Family: MerB family
  • Sequence: FASTA
  • Cross-database IDs: Link
  • Organism: Bacillus sp. (strain RC607)
  • Location: Chromosome
  • Compound: Mercury (Hg), Phenylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury]
  • Description: MerB of the third mer operon. MerB3, encodes the enzyme organomercural lyase that breaks the carbon-mercury bond in toxic substrates such as phenymercury acetate; in gram negative it is rare, need for organomercural resistance.

    merB3
  • BacMet ID: BAC0662
  • Code for: Enzyme
  • Family: MerB family
  • Sequence: FASTA
  • Cross-database IDs: Link
  • Organism: Bacillus megaterium MB1
  • Location: Chromosome, Transposon TnMERI1
  • Compound: Mercury (Hg), Fluorescein mercuric acetate [class: Organo-mercury], p-chloro-mercuribenzoic acid [class: Organo-mercury], Phenylmercury Acetate [class: Organo-mercury], Thimerosal [class: Organo-mercury], Methylmercury chloride [class: Organo-mercury], Ethylmercury chloride [class: Organo-mercury]
  • Description: Organomercurial lyase merB (merB2) is part of the second mer operon of the transposon TnMERI1 of Bacillus megaterium MB1. This third MerB (MerB3: organomercurial lyse) contributes to confer resistance to a wide range of organomercuric compounds than presence of one merB.
  • Length (amino acid): 242
  • Reference: Huang et al. 1999; Pubmed- 10548738
