In myxobacteria, this enzyme is also involved in a recently discovered acetyl-CoA-dependent isovaleryl-CoA biosynthesis pathway. Here we present crystal structures of MvaS, the HMGCS from Myxococcus xanthus, in complex with coenzyme A and acetylated active site Cys115, with the second substrate acetoacetyl-CoA and with the product 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA. We show that MvaS uses the common HMGCS enzymatic mechanism and provide evidence that dimerization plays a role in the formation and stability of the active site. Overall, MvaS shows typical features of the eukaryotic HMGCS and exhibits differences to homologs from Gram-positive bacteria. This study provides insights into myxobacterial alternative isovaleryl coenzyme A biosynthesis and thereby extends the toolbox for the biotechnological production of renewable fuel and chemicals.
