Matching protein IDs starting with WP_ to protein IDs starting with YP_

Hi all,

I have annotated genomes where all CDS have protein IDs starting with YP (e.g., YP_005225157.1). Is there a way to automatically convert protein IDs that start with YP to those starting with WP, without the need to search for them manually in the database?

Thank you.

Using EntrezDirect:

$ esearch -db ipg -query "YP_005225157" | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element Accession
WP_002888811.1

$ esearch -db ipg -query "YP_005229578" | esummary | xtract -pattern DocumentSummary -element Accession
WP_004151534.1
