Abstract:

Carboxylesterases belong to the α/β-hydrolase fold superfamily, which are widely found in microorganism, flora and fauna. Protein sequences blast analysis shows that the plant CXE family contains a conserved catalytic active site of a serine domain (GXSXG motif), which bind and hydrolyze various ester compounds. The expression of different members of CXE family exhibit divergences, and can be induced by ethylene and pathogen. The function of CXE is mainly related in bioactivation of herbicide, bioactivation of plant signalling compounds and biotic stress response. In this paper, we summarized the recent research progresses on structural characteristics, expression and functions, discussed the future directions of studies on the CXE and provided suggestions for further research of plant CXE.
