Abstract
This paper reports the discovery and characterization of PET46, an archaeal feruloyl esterase with PET-degrading activity. PET46, originating from a deep-sea Candidatus Bathyarchaeota archaeon, exhibits comparable activity to known bacterial PETases on semi-crystalline PET and higher activity on BHET and MHET. Its crystal structure reveals a unique lid domain involved in substrate binding, expanding the diversity of known PET-hydrolyzing enzymes.
