Bacillus cereus strain 10-L-2 synthesizes two arylamine N-acetyltransferases (Nat-a and Nat-b) with broad substrate specificities toward aniline and its derivatives. In southern blot analysis using probes encoding the NH2-terminus of Nat-b and a conserved region of N-acetyltransferases, digested total DNA

Apart from its esterase activity, butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) displays aryl acylamidase (AAA) activity able to hydrolyze o-nitroacetanilide (ONA) and its trifluoro-derivative (F-ONA). We report here that, despite amidase and esterase sites residing in the same protein, in human samples depleted of

Aryl acylamidase (EC 3.1.5.13; AAA) catalyzes the hydrolysis of p-nitroacetanilide (PNAA) via the standard three-step mechanism of serine hydrolases: binding of substrate (K(s)), acylation of active-site serine (k(acyl)), and hydrolytic deacylation (k(deacyl)).
