#760 IPR001818: mapping to GO:0005578 too specific

Hi

the term GO:0005578 'proteinaceous extracellular matrix' should only apply to eukaryotes, see its definition:
A layer consisting mainly of proteins (especially collagen) and glycosaminoglycans (mostly as proteoglycans) that forms a sheet underlying or overlying cells such as endothelial and epithelial cells.

Therefore, could the mapping of IPR001818 to GO:0005578 be changed to 'GO:0031012 extracellular matrix' instead, as this InterPro domain matches a large number of non-eukaryotic proteins.

Thanks,
Emily

    Hi,

    I agreed that GO:0031012 is more appropriate so I have changed the GO term. Thanks for pointing this out.

    Cheers,
