To understand the substrate specificity and the evolutionary relationship between the acyltransferase (AT) domains of DynE8, fatty acid synthase (FAS) and modular PKSs, we overexpressed a 44 kDa fragment of DynE8 (hereafter named ATDYN10) encompassing its entire AT domain and the adjacent linker domain. The crystal structure at 1.4 A resolution unveils a alpha/beta hydrolase and a ferredoxin-like subdomain with the Ser-His catalytic dyad located in the cleft between the two subdomains. The linker domain also adopts a alpha/beta fold abutting the AT catalytic domain. Co-crystallization with malonyl-CoA yielded a malonyl-enzyme covalent complex that most likely represents the acyl-enzyme intermediate. The structure explains the preference for malonyl-CoA with a conserved arginine orienting the carboxylate group of malonate and several non-polar residues that preclude alpha-alkyl malonyl-CoA binding. Co-crystallization with acetyl-CoA revealed two non-covalently bound acetates generated by the enzymatic hydrolysis of acetyl-CoA that acts as an inhibitor for DynE8. This suggests that the AT domain can upload the acyl groups from either malonyl-CoA or acetyl-CoA onto the catalytic Ser651 residue. However, while the malonyl group can be transferred to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain, transfer of the acetyl group to the ACP domain is suppressed. Local structural differences may account for the different stability of the acyl-enzyme intermediates.
