Phosphatidic acid (PA), the central intermediate in membrane phospholipid
synthesis, is generated by two acyltransferases in a pathway conserved in all
life forms. The second step in this pathway is catalyzed by
1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, called PlsC in bacteria. Here we
present the crystal structure of PlsC from Thermotoga maritima, revealing an
unusual hydrophobic/aromatic N-terminal two-helix motif linked to an
acyltransferase ??-domain that contains the catalytic HX(4)D motif. PlsC dictates
the acyl chain composition of the 2-position of phospholipids, and the acyl chain
selectivity 'ruler' is an appropriately placed and closed hydrophobic tunnel. We
confirmed this by site-directed mutagenesis and membrane composition analysis of
Escherichia coli cells that expressed mutant PlsC. Molecular dynamics (MD)
simulations showed that the two-helix motif represents a novel substructure that
firmly anchors the protein to one leaflet of the membrane. This binding mode
allows the PlsC active site to acylate lysophospholipids within the membrane
bilayer by using soluble acyl donors.
