A modified cutinase is disclosed. The cutinase has the modified amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the modification is a substitution of asparagine at position 181 with alanine, or substitutions of asparagine at position 181 with alanine and phenylalanine at position 235 with leucine. The modified enzyme has improved PET-hydrolytic activity, and thus, the high-activity PET hydrolase is obtained, and the industrial application value of the PET hydrolase is enhanced.

Cutinase having improved enzymatic activity

A PET hydrolase having improved thermal stability is disclosed. The PET hydrolase has a modified amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a modified amino acid sequence with at least 80% sequence identity of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the modification is a substitution of asparagine at position 248 or a corresponding position with proline.
