Multiple structural states of Ca2+-regulated PET hydrolase, Cut190, and its correlation with activity and stability

Akane Senga et al.

Summary: The catalytic activity and stability of the enzyme Cut190, and its mutant Cut190*, are regulated by Ca2+ binding. Crystal structure studies revealed multiple forms of Cut190* and its mutants, and the deletion of C-terminal residues increased thermal stability while retaining activity. This increased stability can be utilized for protein engineering of Cut190 for PET depolymerization.

Miho Emori et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Cut190*SS increased thermal stability while maintaining enzymatic function, attributed to the formation of a disulfide bond by Cys250 and Cys296. Results indicated that although the metal-binding properties of Cut190*SS series differed, the enzyme retained its ability to utilize Ca2+ to accelerate conformational change, thereby preserving its functionality.
