ACHE — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C09F4130 (ACHE) on asparagus chromosome 9 encodes a GDSL/SGNH_hydro_sf family protein with sinapine esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, esterase and lipase activities, and is associated with IgE binding. The gene is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, alkaloid metabolism, nodulation, response to wounding, defense response, ER organisation, cognition and memory. Its product localises to the symbiosome and extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to alpha-L-fucosidase and the enzyme classes 3.1.1.49 and 3.1.1.80.
