Structural insights into MBOAT2 catalysis, product retention, and ligand exchange

MBOAT2 suppresses ferroptosis independently of GPX4 and FSP1 by transferring monounsaturated acyl chains from acyl-CoA donors to lysophospholipid acceptors, but the structural basis of its catalytic cycle remains unclear. Here, we report the first cryo-EM structures of human MBOAT2, capturing endogenous and substrate-i...
