Abstract pfEstA, a novel family VIII carboxylesterase, is identified and analyzed in this study. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that pfEstA is a member of family VIII carboxylesterase and a putative catalytic triad (Ser79-Lys82-Tyr168). Here, pfEstA was compared with other enzymes of the same family and Class-C β-lactamases which were retrieved from BLAST and DALI server. The computation simulation analysis of pfEstA with cephalothin and the result from hydrolysis of nitrocefin indicated that pfEstA would have little or no activity for hydrolysis of bulky β-lactam antibiotics. Structural analysis with other related enzymes and mutational study suggested that the structural individuality in the catalytic pocket elucidates the substrates selectivity of pfEstA rather than specific interaction between residues and substrates.
