Complex structure of T. fusca cutinase with cutin mimic

Seeking to elucidate how T. fusca cutinase binds to cutin, we collected the diffraction data set and determined the 1.54 Å apo-form crystal structure of T. fusca cutinase (Additional file 1: Fig. S1, S2a, Table S1) in 2010 via molecular replacement using the atomic coordinates of Streptomyces exfoliates lipase (PDB ID: 1JFR) as a searching model (Wei et al. 1998). In 2014, the crystal structures of T. fusca cutinase variant, including the apo and complex with inhibitor (PDB ID 4CG1, 4CG2 and 4CG3), were reported (Roth et al. 2014). In 2017, the structure of cutinase 1 from Thermobifida cellulosilytica (PDB ID 5LUI) which showed 99% sequence identity with T. fusca cutinase was published (Dong et al. 2020). Structure superposition showed that the two structures are almost same with RMSD of 0.165 except for the C-terminal loop region (residues 245–253) (Additional file 1: Fig. S3) (Doris Ribitsch 2017).
