Abstract

We solved crystal structures of LnmK, which that carries out both acyltransfer and decarboxylation in polyketide synthase pathways. Our structures have substrate analogs bound that reveal interactions that likely occur with the substrate and allow modelling of conformational changes and intermediate states.
