Engineering and evaluation of thermostable IsPETase variants for PET degradation

Stefan Brott et al.

Summary: In this study, a mutant library of a thermostable triple mutant (TM) of IsPETase was generated using error-prone PCR, resulting in the discovery of four more thermostable IsPETase variants when screened against Impranil DLN W 50. The most promising variant IsPETaseTM(K95N/F201I) exhibited a 5.0 degrees C higher melting point than IsPETaseTM, making it a more active PET hydrolase at higher reaction temperatures up to 60 degrees C. Thermostability was highlighted as a crucial characteristic for an effective PET hydrolase based on the findings.

The metabolic potential of plastics as biotechnological carbon sources-Review and targets for the future

Till Tiso et al.

Summary: The plastic crisis demands drastic measures, especially for the end-of-life of plastics. Microbial metabolism offers new possibilities for the recycling of mixed plastic fractions. By degrading plastics into oligo- and monomers, these carbon sources can be utilized in biotechnology to transform plastic waste into valuable products like bioplastics and biosurfactants. The study presents well-known monomer degradation pathways and calculates the potential replacement scenarios for existing fossil-based synthesis routes. The findings highlight the attractiveness of plastic monomers as alternative carbon sources for fossil-based products.

Substrate-Binding Mode of a Thermophilic PET Hydrolase and Engineering the Enzyme to Enhance the Hydrolytic Efficacy

Wei Zeng et al.

Summary: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely produced plastic with high accumulation of PET wastes posing a serious threat to the ecosystem. The application of PET hydrolytic enzymes to manage PET pollution requires more effective enzymes. A thermostable cutinase called ICCG has shown to be the most effective PET hydrolase reported so far. The crystal structure of ICCG in complex with PET analogue provides insights into the enzyme-substrate interaction network and structure-based engineering has generated variants with improved efficacy and stability. These findings are valuable for understanding the mechanism of thermostable PET hydrolytic enzymes and developing PET biodegradation platforms.

Mechanism-Based Design of Efficient PET Hydrolases

Ren Wei et al.

Summary: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used synthetic polyester in textile fibers and packaging materials, which contributes significantly to global solid waste and environmental plastic pollution. Enzymatic PET recycling and upcycling have emerged as potential solutions, but there are limitations such as unbalanced enzyme-substrate interactions, limited thermostability, low catalytic efficiency at high temperatures, and inhibition by degradation intermediates. Protein engineering has been successful in addressing these limitations and can be applied to other mass-produced polymer types for biotechnological waste disposal.

Influence of substrate crystallinity and glass transition temperature on enzymatic degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

Thore Bach Thomsen et al.

Summary: This work investigates the importance of the degree of crystallinity and glass transition temperature of PET on enzymatic degradation at elevated temperatures. The results show that the crystallinity affects the enzymatic product release rate, and different enzymes exhibit different activities at varying degrees of crystallinity. In addition, thermal annealing and water soaking have an impact on the properties of PET. These findings contribute to a better understanding of enzymatic PET degradation and the development of PET upcycling processes.

Summary: A thermostable enzyme PET2 was engineered for improved hydrolytic activity against polyethylene terephthalate (PET), with mutations in surface charge and formation of additional disulfide bond enhancing activity.
