Arabidopsis	At3g10870	Methylesterase that efficiently and specifically hydrolyzes methyl indole-3-acetic acid (MeIAA) to IAA (auxin).	Inactive methyl indole-3-acetic acid ester can be hydrolyzed and activated by several esterases belonging to the AtMES esterase family of Arabidopsis.; 2008; DOI: 10.1104/pp.108.118224; PMID: 18467465; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18467465/
Arabidopsis	At5g58310	Methylesterase shown to have methyl indole-3-acetic acid (MeIAA) esterase activity in vitro.	No verified direct reference in this release
Arabidopsis	At4g16690	Involved in the chlorophyll breakdown by its action in fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (FCCs) demethylation.	MES16, a member of the methylesterase protein family, specifically demethylates fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites during chlorophyll breakdown in Arabidopsis.; 2012; DOI: 10.1104/pp.111.188870; PMID: 22147518; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22147518/ | Crystal structure of methylesterase family member 16 (MES16) from Arabidopsis thaliana.; 2016; DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2016.04.115; PMID: 27109476; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27109476/
