Encodes a protein shown to have carboxylesterase activity in vitro. It has similarity to the SABP2 methyl salicylate esterase from tobacco. This protein does not act on methyl IAA, methyl JA, MeSA, MeGA4, or MEGA9 in vitro.
Computational Description
methyl esterase 8 (MES8); FUNCTIONS IN: hydrolase activity, hydrolase activity, acting on ester bonds; LOCATED IN: endomembrane system; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Alpha/beta hydrolase fold-1 (InterPro:IPR000073); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: acetone-cyanohydrin lyase (TAIR:AT2G23600.1); Has 1944 Blast hits to 1942 proteins in 432 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 1125; Metazoa - 4; Fungi - 28; Plants - 614; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 173 (source: NCBI BLink).
Encodes a protein shown to have carboxylesterase activity, methyl salicylate esterase activity, methyl jasmonate esterase activity, and methyl IAA esterase activity in vitro. MES2 appears to be involved in MeSA hydrolysis in planta. This protein does not act on MeGA4, or MEGA9 in vitro.
Computational Description
