ACHE — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C04F13940 (ACHE) on asparagus chromosome 4 encodes a protein belonging to the SGNH plant lipase-like and GDSL families, with annotated sinapine esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, esterase and lipase activities, as well as IgE binding. The gene is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, cognition, memory, ER organisation, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, lipid metabolism, alkaloid metabolism, nodulation, response to wounding and defense response. Its product localises to the symbiosome and extracellular region. The gene is linked to ENOD8 and ACHE. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to alpha-L-fucosidase and EC 3.1.1.49, 3.1.1.80 and 3.1.1.- activities.
