PETase (PET-degrading enzyme, origin I. sakaiensis)
PETase is a poly(ethylene terehphthalate)-degrading enzyme first identified in Ideonella sakaiensis. BBa_K2010999 is the sequence for the E. coli K12 optimized DNA sequence for PETase. The catalytic activity of IsPETase can be characterized using a p-nitrophenol butyrate (pNPB) assay, in which PETase cleaves the ester bond of pNPB to release p-nitrophenolate. The absorbance of this compound can be measured at 405 nm to reflect IsPETase activity.
This SDS-PAGE gel demonstrates successful protein purification of PETase. PETase has a molecular weight of approximately 30 kDa.
This graph demonstrates PETase activity with various substrate concentrations at a pH of 7.0.
This graph demonstrates PETase activity with various substrate concentrations at a pH of 8.0.
This graph demonstrates PETase activity with various substrate concentrations at a pH of 9.0.
This graph demonstrates PETase activity as a function of pH. PETase is most active at a pH of 9.0, but activity at 8.0 and 9.0 is practically indistinguishable.
