Abstract
The present invention provides engineered carboxyesterase enzymes having improved properties as compared to a naturally occurring wild-type carboxyesterase enzymes, as well as polynucleotides encoding the engineered carboxyesterase enzymes, host cells capable of expressing the engineered carboxyesterase enzymes, and methods of using the engineered carboxyesterase enzymes in hydrolysis reactions.
Claims24
An engineered carboxyesterase comprising a polypeptide sequence having at least 90%, sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or a functional fragment thereof, wherein said engineered carboxyesterase comprises the substitution set 9/10/70 in said polypeptide sequence, and wherein the amino acid positions of said polypeptide sequence are numbered with reference to SEQ ID NO:
- 2, and wherein the engineered carboxyesterase comprises at least one improved property compared to the wild-type Xanthomonas campestris carboxyesterase of SEQ ID NO:2.
