Structural insights into the unique polylactate‐degrading mechanism of Thermobifida alba cutinase
Abstract
Cutinases are enzymes known to degrade polyester-type plastics. Est119, a plastic-degrading type of cutinase from Thermobifida alba AHK119 (herein called Ta_cut), shows a broad substrate specificity toward polyesters, and can degrade substrates including polylactic acid (PLA). However, the PLA-degrading mechanism of cutinases is still poorly understood. Here, we report the structure complexes of cutinase with ethyl lactate (EL), the...
