Obsoletion notice: GO:0044595 decaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase activity GO:0004395 hexaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase activity, and GO:1990887 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol O-methyltransferase activity #641

Dear all,

The proposal has been made to obsolete GO:0044595 decaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase activity GO:0004395 hexaprenyldihydroxybenzoate methyltransferase activity, and GO:1990887 2-polyprenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol O-methyltransferase activity & replace by GO:0010420 3,4-dihydroxy-5-polyprenylbenzoic acid O-methyltransferase activity

The reason for obsoletion is that these reactions are more precise than the specificity of the enzymes. There are 3 EXP annotations to these terms, by SGD, RGD and TAIR, 2 HAMAP/UniRule mappings, and 1 Reactome mapping, see https://github.com/geneontology/go-annotation/issues/4867

Thanks, Pascale
