ACHE — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400002787, also known as StLIP4, ACHE, or LIP4, is a potato gene on chromosome 1 that encodes a protein with SGNH_plant_lipase-like, GDSL, and SGNH_hydro_sf domains. The enzyme exhibits multiple molecular functions including sinapine esterase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, lipase, and acyltransferase activities, as well as IgE binding. It is associated with acetylcholine breakdown, lipolysis, lipid and alkaloid metabolism, isoprenoid anabolism, defense response, response to wounding, nodulation, cognition, excretion, ER organization, and nitric oxide storage. The protein localizes to the symbiosome, chloroplast stroma, and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link this gene family to traits such as pungency, flavonoid and carotenoid content, germination rate, and root morphology.
