ACHE — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_5G116110 (ACHE) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) on chromosome 5 encodes a GDSL/SGNH plant lipase-like protein with sinapine esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, esterase, and lipase activities, and is associated with IgE binding. This 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. It localises to the symbiosome, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, and extracellular regions. Studies of related GDSL esterase/lipase family members in other species connect the family to traits such as pungency, flavonoid content, carotenoid content, and germination rate.
