Description : (at2g23560 : 97.4) Encodes a protein shown to have carboxylesterase activity, methyl salicylate esterase activity, and methyl IAA esterase activity in vitro. This protein does not act on methyl JA, MeGA4, or MEGA9 in vitro. MES7 appears to be involved in MeSA hydrolysis in planta. Expression of MES7 can restore systemic acquired resistance in SAR-deficient tobacco plants.; methyl esterase 7 (MES7); FUNCTIONS IN: hydrolase activity, hydrolase activity, acting on ester bonds, methyl salicylate esterase activity, methyl indole-3-acetate esterase activity; INVOLVED IN: defense response to fungus, incompatible interaction, systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid metabolic process; LOCATED IN: endomembrane system; EXPRESSED IN: 8 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: LP.04 four leaves visible, 4 anthesis, LP.10 ten leaves visible, LP.02 two leaves visible, LP.12 twelve leaves visible; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Alpha/beta hydrolase fold-1 (InterPro:IPR000073); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: methyl esterase 4 (TAIR:AT2G23580.1); Has 2112 Blast hits to 2110 proteins in 483 species: Archae - 2; Bacteria - 1258; Metazoa - 5; Fungi - 48; Plants - 612; Viruses - 2; Other Eukaryotes - 185 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 178.0) & (original description: no original description)
