The SP20 HA tag leads to glycosylation and enhance the secretion of the enzymes MUT-PETase and MHETase significantly. It was crucial to secrete the MUT-PETase. The glycosylation worked very well but might influence the activity of the proteins.
To solve this problem, we generated constructs L2H, L2I, and L2J for the expression of
MUT-PETase alone equipped with the secretions signals from carbonic anhydrase (cCA), gamete lytic
enzyme (GLE), and arylsulfatase (ARS), respectively. While a module encoding the cCA signal is
present in the MoClo kit (Crozet et al., 2018), those for GLE and ARS were generated by us.
Arylsulfatase is essential for the mineralization of sulfate by hydrolyzing sulfate esters under
conditions of sulfate deprivation (deHostos et al., 1988). Gamete lytic enzyme is a metalloprotease
that mediates digestion of the cell wall during gametogenesis (Kinoshita et al., 1992). While we
detected no MUT-PETase in the medium when it was equipped with the cCA signal, weak signals were
detected when it contained secretion signals GLE and ARS (Figure 6).
