physiological function
expression in Arabidopsis thaliana. The protein is targeted to the apoplast by its native signal peptide, resulting in elevated acetyl esterase activity in soluble and wall-bound protein extracts and reduced xylan acetylation. No significant alterations in cell wall composition are observed. The xylans of transgenic lines are more easily digested by a beta-1,4-endoxylanase, and more readily extracted by hot water, acids or alkali. Transgenic plants develop normally and show increased resistance to the biotrophic pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis
physiological function
-
acetylxylan esterases enhance the hydrolysis of O-acetylated xylan by removing the acetyl substituents that restrict the action of endo-1,4-beta-xylanases and beta-xylosidases
evolution
-
the enzyme belongs to the carbohydrate esterase family 1, CE1
