merP	BacMet ID: BAC0231 Code for: Membrane Transporter Family: Contains 1 HMA domain Sequence: FASTA Cross-database information: Link Organism: Serratia marcescens Location: Plasmid pDU1358 (Serratia marcescens) Compound: Mercury (Hg) Description: Mercuric transport protein periplasmic component; hypersensitivity to the mercuric ions are associated with the merP gene; MerP does not act to transport Hg(II) directly. Mercury scavenger that specifically binds to one mercury ion and which passes it to the mercuric reductase (merA) via the merT protein. Length (amino acid): 91 Reference: Hamlett et al. 1992; Pubmed- 1328156	Similar resistance genes in 'BacMet Predicted database'
