Biochemical properties, homology, and genetic variation of Drosophila “nonspecific” esterases
Abstract
The biochemical properties and tissue distribution of two major, soluble “nonspecific” esterases have been studied in Drosophila melanogaster, D. pseudoobscura, and related species. The “α-like” activity is due to a monomer enzyme (MW⋍60 kd) having a nonspecific tissue distribution, which was inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (5×10−4m) plus eserine (1×10−5m) and was relatively unstable during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. …
