Brefeldin A esterase (BFAE), a detoxifying enzyme isolated from Bacillus subtilis, hydrolyses and inactivates BFA, a potent fungal inhibitor of intracellular vesicle-dependent secretory transport and poliovirus RNA replication. BFAE has high sequence homology to the mammalian hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), thus is thought to be a member of the HSL family.
