The amino acid sequence of PET46 was included in a sequence similarity network (SSN) analysis with other published PETases from Archaea (circles), Bacteria (triangles), and Eukarya (squares) collected in PAZy16. Edges connecting two nodes indicate a BLASTp e-value < 0.01, and color indicates the percentage identity. The enzymes PET46, IsPETase and LCC, compared in depth in this study, are highlighted. *Note: In the study by Erickson et al.60, the source organisms of enzymes 101–307 are not detailed and only defined as “environmental sample”. Taxonomic affiliation was derived from the best BLASTp hit from the NCBI nr-database if seq. id. > 95%. All-against-all BLASTp results are found in Supplementary Data 2.
