It catalyzes the oxidation of (2S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA to alpha,beta-unsaturated mesaconyl-CoA and shows only about 0.5% activity with succinyl-CoA. Here we report the crystal structure of MCD at a resolution of 1.37 A. The enzyme forms a homodimer of two 60 kDa subunits. Compared to other ACDs, MCD contains a ~170 residue long N-terminal extension that structurally mimics a dimer-dimer interface of these enzymes that are canonically organized as tetramers. MCD catalyzes the unprecedented oxidation of an alpha-methyl branched dicarboxylic acid CoA thioester. Substrate specificity is achieved by a cluster of three arginines that accommodates the terminal carboxyl group and a dedicated cavity that facilitates binding of the C2 methyl branch. MCD apparently evolved towards preventing the unspecific oxidation of succinyl-CoA, a close structural homolog of (2S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA, and an essential intermediate in central carbon metabolism. For different metabolic engineering and biotechnological applications, however, an enzyme that can oxidize succinyl-CoA to fumaryl-CoA is sought after. Based on the MCD structure, we were able to shift substrate specificity of MCD towards succinyl-CoA through active site mutagenesis.
