        Three acetylcholinesterase (ace) genes were identified from Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and named as Bxace1, Bxace2 and Bxace3. Open reading fragments of Bxace1, Bxace2 and Bxace3 were composed of 622, 625 and 588 amino acids, respectively. Sequencing comparison with Torpedo ace gene identified cholinebinding site, catalytic triad functional site, three internal disulfide bonds and aromatic residues for the catalytic gorge. Transcriptional profiling by quantitative real-time PCR revealed that Bxace3 is more actively transcribed than Bxace1 (2-3 times) and Bxace2 (9-18 times) in both propagative and dispersal stages. The three ace genes were functionally expressed using baculovirus system. Kinetic analysis using three choline substrates demonstrated that BxAce2 has higher maximum velocity than BxAce1 (ca. 2 times) and BxAce3 (ca. 100 times) whereas BxAce3 shows lower Michaelis constant than BxAce1 (12.8 times) and BxAce2 (13.6 times). In inhibition assay using five organophosphates (OPs) and three carbamates (CBs), all the three BxAces were highly inhibited by paraoxon, DDVP and chlorpyrifos-oxon but not inhibited well by fenamiphos and fosthiazate. Interestingly, inhibition assay revealed that BxAce3 is less sensitive to all insecticides tested than other two BxAces. The inhibition kinetic data obtained in this study should provide essential information for the development of OP- and CB-based nematicidal agents againt B. xylophilus.
