We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

'''Cutinase''' (CUT) catalyzes the conversion of cutin to cutin monomers. Cutin is a main component of the plant cuticle. Polymeric cutin which is composed of hydroxyl and hydroxyepoxy fatty acids is found in the outer layer of plants. CUT is found in fungi and bacteria. CUT degrades the cutin enabling pathogens’ penetration into plant cells. Inhibition of CUT can prevent fungal plant infection. CUT is inhibited by organophosphates like E600 (diethyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate)) and organophosphonates. | '''Cutinase''' (CUT) catalyzes the conversion of cutin to cutin monomers.
