ACHE — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_2G028760 (symbol ACHE) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) on chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a GDSL/SGNH plant lipase-like domain, exhibiting sinapine esterase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, and lipase activities, as well as serine O-acyltransferase activity and IgE binding. The gene is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, lipid metabolism, alkaloid metabolism, nodulation, response to wounding, defense response, menstruation, blood pressure regulation, cytokine production, innervation, memory, and ER organisation. The encoded protein localises to the extracellular region and the symbiosome. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to esterase activities (EC 3.1.1.49, 3.1.1.80, 3.1.1.-).
