MYCGR3G110417 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G110417 (CES) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 8 encodes a protein with chlorogenate hydrolase, TAG lipase and general hydrolase activity, belonging to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase and AB hydrolase families. The gene is associated with lipolysis and lipid metabolism, and its product is localised extracellularly. Studies of related genes in other species, including secreted lipases and the chlE orthologue, link the family to triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) and carboxylesterase (EC 3.1.1.1) activities.
