ACHE — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400000205 (symbol ACHE) on potato chromosome 1 encodes a GDSL/SGNH plant lipase-like protein with multiple annotated enzyme activities, including sinapine esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, and lipase activities, as well as IgE binding. The gene is associated with cognition, excretion, acetylcholine breakdown, ER organisation, isoprenoid anabolism, lipolysis, lipid metabolism, alkaloid metabolism, NO storage, nodulation, response to wounding, and defense response. It localizes to the symbiosome, extracellular region, mitochondria, and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flavonoid content, germination rate, and arsenic concentration traits.
