ACHE — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaLIP4 (ACHE) from Capsicum annuum on chromosome PGAv.1.6.scaffold1374 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. The gene is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, memory, ER organisation, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, detoxification, lipid and alkaloid metabolism, nodulation, wounding response, and defense response. It localises to the symbiosome, extracellular region, and chloroplast stroma. CaLIP4 is also associated with pungency. Studies of related GDSL esterase/lipase family members in other species link this family to flavonoid and carotenoid content, germination rate, and root morphology traits.
