ACHE — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C09F4160 (ACHE) on asparagus chromosome 9 encodes a protein with a GDSL domain and SGNH hydrolase superfamily fold, annotated with 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, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, alkaloid metabolism, nodulation, response to wounding, defense response, ER organisation, cognition and memory. The product localises to the symbiosome and extracellular region. Related genes in other species link the family to symbiosome function.
