Structure and function of the metagenomic plastic-degrading polyester hydrolase PHL7 bound to its product

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The recently discovered metagenomic-derived polyester hydrolase PHL7 is able to efficiently degrade amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in post-consumer plastic waste.

Sourcing thermotolerant poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase scaffolds from natural diversity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Enzymatic deconstruction of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is under intense investigation, given the ability of hydrolase enzymes to depolymerize PET to its constituent monomers near the polymer glass transition temperature.

Discovery and Genetic Code Expansion of a Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Hydrolase from the Human Saliva Metagenome for the Degradation and Bio-Functionalization of PET

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, 2022
We report a bioinformatic workflow and subsequent discovery of a new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolase, which we named MG8, from the human saliva metagenome.

Primary Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of the Epoxide Hydrolase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The epoxide hydrolase gene from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1, a bacterium that is able to grow on epichlorohydrin as the sole carbon source, was cloned by means of the polymerase chain reaction with two degenerate primers based on the N-terminal and C ...

Predicting Bacteriophage Enzymes and Hydrolases by Using Combined Features

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Bacteriophage is a type of virus that could infect the host bacteria. They have been applied in the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infection. Phage enzymes and hydrolases play the most important role in the destruction of bacterial cells.

Lysosomal hydrolases of the epidermis.

open access: yesBritish Journal of Dermatology, 1975
Four distinct peptide hydrolases (EC 3-4) have been characterized in guinea-pig epidermis; these are cathepsin B1, cathepsin C, cathepsin D and arylamidase. Their properties are consistent with those of lysosomal enzymes. Cathepsin E was not detected.

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Dimerization Is Required for Hydrolase Activity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) plays a key role in the metabolic conversion of the protective eicosanoid 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid to 14,15-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid. Accordingly, inhibition of sEH hydrolase activity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple models of cardiovascular diseases, thus identifying sEH as a valuable therapeutic ...

A Novel Polyester Hydrolase From the Marine Bacterium Pseudomonas aestusnigri – Structural and Functional Insights

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Biodegradation of synthetic polymers, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is of great importance, since environmental pollution with PET and other plastics has become a severe global problem. Here, we report on the polyester degrading ability

Lipoamidase is a multiple hydrolase [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1990
The substrate specificity of lipoamidase, purified from the pig brain membrane with lipoyl 4-aminobenzoate (LPAB) as a substrate, was extensively studied. This single polypeptide was found to hydrolyse the bonding between amide, ester and peptide compounds. However, stringent structural requirements were found in the substrates, e.g.
