One of the key pathways for MOS production involves plastidial α- ...Starch serves as a vital energy reserve in plants. During its biosynthesis, malto-oligosaccharides (MOS) are essential primers. One of the key pathways for MOS production involves plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase (PHS1/Pho1) and disproportionating enzyme (DPE1). However, the functional relationship between these enzymes is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that rice PHS1 and DPE1 assemble into a multimeric complex. Cryo-EM structures of the PHS1-DPE1 complex reveal an assembly mechanism and suggest a potential substrate tunnel. Biochemical assays show the complex dramatically enhances catalytic efficiency over individual enzymes. Single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) visualizes conformational dynamics, enabling rapid substrate transfer between the enzymes. We further identify the unique L80 loop in PHS1 as a potential regulator. Its deletion reduces catalytic efficiency and prolongs conformational state lifetimes during substrate transfer, thereby reducing the production of longer MOSs. Our findings establish that the PHS1-DPE1 complex facilitates efficient MOS primer synthesis through efficient substrate transfer or diffusion between the two enzymes, providing mechanistic insight into a critical step of starch biosynthesis with agronomic implications. |
