A few acyltransferase (AT) domains of modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) recruit acyl carrier protein (ACP)‐linked extender units with unusual C2 substituents to confer functionalities that are not available in coenzyme A (CoA)‐linked ones. In this study, an AT specific for methoxymalonyl (MOM)‐ACP in the third module of the ansamitocin PKS was structurally and biochemically characterized. The AT uses a conserved tryptophan residue at the entrance of the substrate binding tunnel to discriminate between different carriers. A W275R mutation switches its carrier specificity from the ACP to the CoA molecule. The acyl‐AT complex structures clearly show that the MOM‐ACP accepted by the AT has the 2Sinstead of the opposite 2Rstereochemistry that is predicted according to the biosynthetic derivation from ad‐glycolytic intermediate. Together, these results reveal the structural basis of ATs recognizing ACP‐linked extender units in polyketide biosynthesis.
