ACHE — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400027020, symbol ACHE, on potato chromosome 6, encodes a protein with a GDSL/SGNH_plant_lipase-like domain and is annotated with multiple enzyme activities including sinapine esterase, serine O-acyltransferase, acetylajmaline esterase, carboxylic ester hydrolase, glycosidase, acyltransferase, and lipase activities. 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, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, and extracellular region. The encoded product also shows IgE binding activity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits such as pungency, flavonoid content, carotenoid content, and germination rate, though these associations are not established for potato.
