With the increasing production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic products, the problem of PET waste has become a serious threat to ecosystem. PET enzymatic biodegradation, due to its environmental friendliness and sustainability, has gradually attracted attention. As a multifunctional hydrolase, cutinase (EC 3.1.1.74) can not only degrade fatty acid esters, soluble synthetic esters, and emulsified triglycerides, but also exhibit potential for PET degradation. In order to enhance the PET degradation activity of cutinase, we functionally screened several PET binding domains, e.g. carbohydrate binding module, anchor peptide, and hydrophobin, that promote the absorption of enzyme to PET substrate, selected Dermaseptin SI (DSI) and fused it onto the N-terminus of Thermobifida fusca cutinase mutant D204C/E253C (Tfuc2), and finally achieved the PET degradation rate up to 57.9% at 70 °C for 96 h, which was 22.7-fold of that of Tfuc2 itself. These results indicate that the fusion of PET binding domain is a promising strategy to enhance PET enzymatic degradation.
