Carboxylesterase activity in Trypanosoma cruzi was found mainly in the microsomal (40%) and the cytosolic fraction (26%). The Vmax for p-nitrophenyl acetate was 28.50 and 17.60 nmol per min and mg of protein for the microsomal and the cytosolic fractions, respectively. The Km was 0.78 mM for the microsomal activity and 0.55 mM for the cytosolic activity. The inhibition rate constant with N-ethylmaleimide were 38.10 M-1 min-1 and 2.56 M-1 min-1 for the cytosolic and the microsomal enzymes, respectively. The rate constants with Paraoxon were 8,360 M-1 X min-1 and 32,600 M-1 X min-1. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions showed three bands of microsomal activity with M.W. of 63, 136 and 153 kDA. Similarly, three bands of cytosolic activity with M.W. of 126, 294 and 479 kDA were identified.
