Lipolytic Activity of a Carboxylesterase from Bumblebee (Bombus ignitus) Venom

Toxins, 2021
Bee venom is a complex mixture composed of peptides, proteins with enzymatic properties, and low-molecular-weight compounds. Although the carboxylesterase in bee venom has been identified as an allergen, the enzyme’s role as a venom component has not ...

Characterisation of a Novel Acetyl Xylan Esterase (BaAXE) Screened from the Gut Microbiota of the Common Black Slug (Arion ater)

Molecules, 2022
Acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are enzymes capable of hydrolysing the acetyl bonds in acetylated xylan, allowing for enhanced activity of backbone-depolymerizing enzymes.

Characterization, sub-cellular localization and expression profiling of the isoprenylcysteine methylesterase gene family in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Isoprenylcysteine methylesterases (ICME) demethylate prenylated protein in eukaryotic cell. Until now, knowledge about their molecular information, localization and expression pattern is largely unavailable in plant species.

Identification of Candidate Carboxylesterases Associated With Odorant Degradation in Holotrichia parallela Antennae Based on Transcriptome Analysis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Insects rely on their olfactory systems in antennae to recognize sex pheromones and plant volatiles in surrounding environments. Some carboxylesterases (CXEs) are odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs), degrading odorant signals to protect the olfactory ...

Modulation of paraoxonase 1 and 3 expression after moderate exercise training in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Paraoxonases (PONs) are a small family of antioxidant enzymes whose antiatherogenic activity is well known. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of moderate aerobic training on their expression using a rat model.

Characterization of rat pulmonary carboxylesterase [PDF]

, 1999
The 1839 bp cDNA for rat pulmonary carboxylesterase was cloned by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) from total rat lung RNA using specific primers derived from the 5\u27 and 3\u27 untranslated regions of rat hepatic cholesteryl ...

Secreted and tumour targeted human carboxylesterase for activation of irinotecan [PDF]

, 2002
Innotecan (CPT-II) is an anticancer agent for the treatment of colon cancer. CPT-II can be considered as a prodrug, since it needs to be activated into the toxic drug SN-38 by the enzyme carboxylesterase. An approach to achieve tumour specific activation

Chemically Regulated STING‐Activating Prodrugs of Deoxyribose Cyclic Dinucleotides Elicit Robust Immune Activation and Durable Antitumor Immunity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
All three diastereoisomers of an esterase‐sensitive phosphotriester dCDN prodrug demonstrate improved activity. The (Rp,Rp) diastereoisomer shows the highest activity with an EC50 of 1.7 nM in STING activation and displays the most pronounced antitumor activity via intravenous administration, significantly suppressing tumor proliferation, extending the
