Firefly luciferin methyl ester is hydrolyzed by monoacylglycerol lipase MAGL, amidase FAAH, poorly-characterized hydrolase ABHD11, and hydrolases known for -depalmitoylation (LYPLA1/2), not just esterase CES1. This enables activity-based bioluminescent assays for serine hydrolases and suggests that the 'esterase activity' responsible for hydrolyzing ester prodrugs is more diverse than previously supposed.
萤火虫荧光素甲酯被单酰基甘油脂肪酶 MAGL、酰胺酶 FAAH、特征不明确的水解酶 ABHD11 以及已知具有去棕榈酰化作用的水解酶(LYPLA1/2)水解,而不仅仅是酯酶 CES1。这使得基于活性的丝氨酸水解酶生物发光测定法成为可能,并表明负责水解酯前药的“酯酶活性”比以前想象的更为多样化。
