Résumé

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most abundantly produced plastic due to its excellent performance, but is also the primary source of poorly degradable plastic pollution. The development of environment-friendly PET biodegradation is attracting increasing interest. The leaf-branch compost cutinase mutant ICCG (F243I/D238C/S283C/Y127G) exhibits the best hydrolytic activity and thermostability of all known PET hydrolases. However, its superior PET degradation is highly dependent on its preparation as a purified enzyme, which critically reduces its industrial utility. Herein, we report the use of rational design and combinatorial mutagenesis to develop a novel ICCG mutant RITK (D53R/R143I/D193T/E208K) that demonstrated excellent whole-cell biocatalytic activity. Whole cells expressing RITK showed an 8.33-fold increase in biocatalytic activity compared to those expressing ICCG. Thermostability was also improved. After reacting at 85 °C for 3 h, purified RITK exhibited a 12.75-fold increase in depolymerization compared to ICCG. These results will greatly enhance the industrial utility of PET hydrolytic enzymes and further the progress of PET recycling.
