Application

Application Comment Organism
degradation exchange of amino acid residues of TfCut2 involved in substrate binding with those present in LC-cutinase, UniProt ID G9BY57, from an uncultured bacterium, leads to enzyme variants with increased PET hydrolytic activity at 65°C. Variant causes a weight loss of PET films of more than 42% after 50 h of hydrolysis, corresponding to a 2.7fold increase compared to the wild type enzyme Thermobifida fusca

G62A exchange of amino acid residues of TfCut2 involved in substrate binding with those present in LC-cutinase, UniProt ID G9BY57, from an uncultured bacterium, leads to enzyme variants with increased PET hydrolytic activity at 65°C. Variant causes a weight loss of PET films of more than 42% after 50 h of hydrolysis, corresponding to a 2.7fold increase compared to the wild type enzyme. Mutant G62A reveals a 5.5fold lower binding constant to the inhibitor mono-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate than the wild type enzyme Thermobifida fusca

Substrates and Products (Substrate)

Substrates Comment Substrates Organism Products Comment (Products) Rev. Reac.
(ethylene terephthalate)n + H2O substrates are amorphous PET film or PET fibers Thermobifida fusca (ethylene terephthalate)n-1 + 4-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)carbonyl]benzoate terephthalate is the dominant hydrolysis product detected after a reaction time of 50 h at 65°C. Monohydroxyethylene terephthalate which inhibits the hydrolysis of PET is almost completely converted into terephthalate and accounts for less than 9.1% of the total hydrolysis products ?
