EC 3.1.1.76 Details
EC number
3.1.1.76
Accepted name
poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate) depolymerase
Reaction
Hydrolyses the polyester poly{oxycarbonyl[(R)-2-pentylethylene]} to oligomers
Other name(s)
PHO depolymerase, poly(3HO) depolymerase, poly[(R)-hydroxyalkanoic acid] depolymerase, poly(HA) depolymerase, poly(HAMCL) depolymerase, poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate] hydrolase
Systematic name
poly{oxycarbonyl[(R)-2-pentylethylene]} hydrolase
Comment
The main product after prolonged incubation is the dimer [3]. Besides hydrolysing polymers of 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid, the enzyme also hydrolyses other polymers derived from medium-chain-length (C6-C12) hydroxyalkanoic acids and copolymers of mixtures of these. It also hydrolyses p-nitrophenyl esters of fatty acids. Polymers of short-chain-length hydroxyalkanoic acids such as poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid] and poly[(R)-3-hydroxypentanoic acid] are not hydrolysed.
