Release of HCAs from the methyl ester substrate. (A) The relative activity of CaeA against synthetic HCA esters; methyl ferulate, ethyl ferulate and methyl caffeate. Assays were performed in 1 mM NaH2PO4/K2HPO4 pH 7 at 37°C for 2 h with a protein concentration of 6 μg/ml. Data is representative of mean values and standard error of the mean. No measurable enzyme activity was found against methyl sinapinate. (B) The structure of Methyl ferulate. (C) Methyl sinapinate and (D) Methyl Caffeate (E) Methyl p-Coumarate. These structures were partially adapted from a previous publication (Ramos-De-La-Peña, 2016).
