EC 3.1.1.80 Details
EC number
3.1.1.80
Accepted name
acetylajmaline esterase
Reaction
(1) 17-O-acetylajmaline + H2O = ajmaline + acetate;;(2) 17-O-acetylnorajmaline + H2O = norajmaline + acetate
Other name(s)
AAE, 2β(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase, acetylajmalan esterase
Systematic name
17-O-acetylajmaline O-acetylhydrolase
CAS registry number
110183-46-5
Comment
This plant enzyme is responsible for the last stages in the biosynthesis of the indole alkaloid ajmaline. The enzyme is highly specific for the substrates 17-O-acetylajmaline and 17-O-acetylnorajmaline as the structurally related acetylated alkaloids vinorine, vomilenine, 1,2-dihydrovomilenine and 1,2-dihydroraucaffricine cannot act as substrates [2]. This is a novel member of the GDSL family of serine esterases/lipases.
