(B) Test tubes with emulsified PLA10 as substrate and purified ABO2449 representing different time points from panel A.

Figure S2. Sequence alignment of RPA1511, ABO2449, and two representative family V esterases. Residues conserved in all aligned proteins are boxed with the serine hydrolase catalytic triad shown in grey background. The residues of RPA1511 and ABO2449 mutated in the present study are marked with triangles, whereas the secondary structure elements of RPA1511 are shown above the alignment. The compared proteins are RPA1511 (Q6N9M9), ABO2449 (Q0VLQ1), the PHA depolymerase PhaB from Pseudomonas oleovorans (P26495) and the Psychrobacter immobilis lipase 1 (X67712).

Figure S3. Phylogenetic analysis of esterase-type PLA depolymerases and other polyester degrading enzymes. Phylogenetic relatedness of ABO2449 and RPA1511 to representative esterases from the families I – VIII (based on Arpigny and Jaeger, 199951). The numbers on the nodes correspond to the percent recovery in 1,000 bootstrap resamplings. The reference enzymes for esterase families include (UniProt IDs) P95419 (family I), p10480 (II), Q56008 (III), H9UPC6 (IV), P26495 (V), P73192 (VI), Q01470 (VII) and Q44050 (VIII).
S5
Figure S4. Effect of detergents on esterase activity of RPA1511, ABO2449 and PlaM4. Esterase activity of purified proteins (5 µg of RPA1511, 0.5 µg of ABO2449, 4 µg of PlaM4) was measured at 30 °C using 1.5 mM α-naphthyl propionate (for RPA1511 and ABO2449) or 1.5 mM p-NP-butyrate as the substrate. Triton X-100, Plysurf or Tween-20 were added at indicated concentrations to reaction mixtures. Results are means ± S.D. from at least two independent determinations.
S6
Figure S5. GPC analysis of the reaction products of enzymatic hydrolysis of solid PLA18. Reaction mixtures (1.0 ml) contained 0.4 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), solid PLA18 (20 mg), and enzyme (50 µg). After 2 hours of incubation at 35 °C, residual solid PLA was collected by centrifugation, dissolved in THF, cleared by centrifugation through syringe filters and analyzed by GPC as described in the Experimental Section. The numbers on the peaks indicate the molecular weight in daltons.
S7
Figure S6. Effect of pH and NaCl on esterase activity of RPA1511 and ABO2449. Esterase activity of purified proteins was measured at 30 °C using α-naphthyl propionate (1.5 mM) as substrate. For pH range, the following buffers were used (50 mM): MES (pH 6.0), HEPES (pH 7.0, 7.5, 8.0), Tris-HCl (pH 8.0, 8.5), CHES (pH 9.0, 9.5, 10.0), CAPS (pH 10.0, 10.5, 11.0).
S8
Figure S7. Structural model of ABO2449 and its catalytic triad. The ABO2449 model was generated using the protein structure prediction server Phyre2 and the structure of the aclacinomycin methylesterase RdmC (PDB code 1Q0R, 28% sequence identity to ABO2449). The catalytic triad residues (Ser120, His275, and Asp247) are shown as sticks along a ABO2449 ribbon (gray).
