Organism
Streptomyces coelicolor (strain ATCC BAA-471 / A3(2) / M145)
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of fatty acid esters with a preference for mid-length acyl chain (C10-C16). Is able to hydrolyze the triacylglycerol triolein and mixed triacylglycerols from a wide range of natural oils; better activity is obtained with corn-, wheat germ- and olive oil that have higher content of linoleic and/or oleic acid (C18:2; C18:1, cis). Tween detergents are also substrates for this enzyme. Displays arylesterase activity towards p-nitrophenyl alkanoate esters and alpha- and beta-naphthyl esters.
Similarity
Belongs to the 'GDSL' lipolytic enzyme family.
