  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Phosphatidylserine synthase (PssA) is essential in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine, a major phospholipid of bacterial membranes. A peripheral membrane protein PssA can associate with the cellular membrane in its active state or exist in the cytosol in an inactive form. The membrane-bound enzyme acts on cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DG) to form cytidine monophosphate and a covalent intermediate, which is subsequently targeted by serine to produce phosphatidylserine. Here, we present two crystal structures of Escherichia coli PssA, one complexed with CDP-DG and the other without. The lipid-bound structure mimics the Michaelis complex before the formation of a covalent intermediate, revealing key determinants for substrate recognition and catalysis. Notably, membrane-free PssA is in a monomer-dimer equilibrium, with only the monomer capable of associating with the membrane, suggesting a regulatory mechanism for phospholipid biosynthesis dependent on the oligomerization state of the enzyme.
