ID 3.1.1.80 DE acetylajmaline esterase. AN 2beta(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase. AN AAE. AN acetylajmalan esterase. CA (1) 17-O-acetylajmaline + H2O = acetate + ajmaline + H(+). CA (2) 17-O-acetylnorajmaline + H2O = acetate + H(+) + norajmaline. CC -!- Responsible for the last stages in the biosynthesis of the indole CC alkaloid ajmaline. CC -!- Highly specific for the substrates 17-O-acetylajmaline and 17-O- CC acetylnorajmaline as the structurally related acetylated alkaloids CC vinorine, vomilenine, 1,2-dihydrovomilenine and 1,2- CC dihydroraucaffricine cannot act as substrates.
