The catalytic subunit Elp3 is highly conserved and harbors two individual subdomains, a radical S-adenosyl methionine (rSAM) and a lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) domain. The details of its modification reaction cycle and particularly the substrate specificity of its KAT domain remain elusive. Here, we present the co-crystal structure of bacterial Elp3 (DmcElp3) bound to an acetyl-CoA analog and compare it to the structure of a monomeric archaeal Elp3 from Methanocaldococcus infernus (MinElp3). Furthermore, we identify crucial active site residues, confirm the importance of the extended N-terminus for substrate recognition and uncover the specific induction of acetyl-CoA hydrolysis by different tRNA species. In summary, our results establish the clinically relevant Elongator subunit as a non-canonical acetyltransferase and genuine tRNA modification enzyme. The Elongator subunit Elp3 is a non-canonical tRNA acetyltransferase.,Lin TY, Abbassi NEH, Zakrzewski K, Chramiec-Glabik A, Jemiola-Rzeminska M, Rozycki J, Glatt S Nat Commun. 2019 Feb 7;10(1):625. doi: 10.1038/s41467-019-08579-2.
