Enzymatic malonylation of natural glycosides provides a promising alternative method for drug-like malonylated glycosides supply.However,the catalytic potential and structural basis of plant malonyltransferase are far from being fully elucidated.This work identified a new malonyltransferase CtMaT1 from Cistanche tubulosa.It displayed unprecedented mono-and/or di-malonylation activity to-ward diverse glucosides with different aglycons.A"one-pot"system by CtMaT1 and a malonyl-CoA synthetase was established to biosynthesize nine new malonylated glucosides.Structural investigations revealed that CtMaT1 possesses an adequately spacious acyl-acceptor pocket capable of accommodating diverse glucosides.Additionally,it recognizes malonyl-CoA through strong electrotactic and hydrogen interactions.QM/MM calculation revealed the H167-mediated SN2 reaction mechanism of CtMaT1,while dynamic simulations detected the formation of stable hydrogen bonds between the glucose-6-OH group and H167,resulting in its high malonylation regiospecificity.Calculated energy profiles of two isomeric glycosides highlighted lower reaction energy barriers towards glucoside substrates,empha-sizing CtMaT1's preference for glucosides.Furthermore,a mutant CtMaT1H36A with notably increased di-malonylation activity was obtained.The underlying molecular mechanism was illuminated through MM/GBSA binding free energy calculation.This study significantly advances the understanding of plant acyltransferases from both functional and protein structural perspectives,while also providing a versatile tool for enzymatic malonylation applications in pharmacology.
