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.

Particle Size Reduction of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Increases the Rate of Enzymatic Depolymerization But Does Not Increase the Overall Conversion Extent

Richard K. Brizendine et al.

Summary: Enzymatic depolymerization of PET is a potential method for PET recycling, but extensive thermomechanical preprocessing is often conducted. In this study, the effect of PET particle size and crystallinity on the performance of a specific enzyme was investigated using different types of PET. The results show that particle size reduction can increase the reaction rate for high-crystallinity PET, but has little effect on the overall conversion extent. Amorphization of PET is necessary for enzymatic PET recycling, while particle size reduction may not be required.

Directed evolution of an efficient and thermostable PET depolymerase

Elizabeth L. Bell et al.

Summary: The recent discovery of IsPETase, a hydrolytic enzyme that can degrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET), has sparked interest in using biocatalytic approaches to recycle plastics. In this study, we describe an automated, high-throughput directed evolution platform for engineering polymer degrading enzymes. By applying catalytic activity under elevated temperatures, a thermostable IsPETase variant (HotPETase) was successfully engineered to operate at the industrial processing temperature of PET. This HotPETase enzyme showed improved efficiency in degrading PET compared to previously reported enzymes and could selectively breakdown the PET component of multi-materials.

Sabatier Principle for Rationalizing Enzymatic Hydrolysis of a Synthetic Polyester

Jenny Arnling Baath et al.

Summary: Investigated the kinetics of two PET hydrolases at different concentrations of CTAB and found that CTAB consistently lowered the strength of enzyme-PET interactions. The effect of CTAB on enzymatic turnover was biphasic, with initial promotion and subsequent suppression. The correlation with maximal turnover at an intermediate binding strength was in accordance with the Sabatier principle. Suggested that future discovery efforts should consider enzymes with weakened substrate binding due to their limiting effect on catalytic performance.

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.
