Ketosynthase-like decarboxylase (KS Q ) domains are widely distributed in the loading modules of modular type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) and catalyze the decarboxylation of the (alkyl-)malonyl unit bound to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) in the loading module for the construction of the PKS starter unit. Previously, we performed a structural and functional analysis of the GfsA KS Q domain involved in the biosynthesis of macrolide antibiotic FD-891. We furthermore revealed the recognition mechanism for the malonic acid thioester moiety of the malonyl-GfsA loading module ACP (ACP L ) as a substrate. However, the exact recognition mechanism for the GfsA ACP L moiety remains unclear. Here, we present a structural basis for the interactions between the GfsA KS Q domain and GfsA ACP L . We determined the crystal structure of the GfsA KS Q -acyltransferase (AT) didomain in complex with ACP L (ACP L =KS Q AT complex) by using a pantetheine crosslinking probe. We identified the key amino acid residues involved in the KS Q domain-ACP L interactions and confirmed the importance of these residues by mutational analysis. The binding mode of ACP L to the GfsA KS Q domain is similar to that of ACP to the ketosynthase domain in modular type I PKSs. Furthermore, comparing the ACP L =KS Q AT complex structure with other full-length PKS module structures provides important insights into the overall architectures and conformational dynamics of the type I PKS modules.
