Protein
Tuliposide A-converting enzyme 1, chloroplastic
Organism
Tulipa gesneriana
Function
Lactone-forming carboxylesterases, specifically catalyzing intramolecular transesterification, but not hydrolysis. Involved in the biosynthesis of tulipalins, defensive chemicals that show antimicrobial activities against a broad range of strains of bacteria and fungi. Substrates are 6-tuliposide A > 6-tuliposide B.
Similarity
Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.
