Fig. S1. Structural superposition of the D1 domain of PylC from M. barkeri (blue) and the
corresponding N-terminal domain of BC from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (orange) as stereo
presentation. The red arrow indicates that the ATP molecule can only bind in the PylC structure.

Fig. S2. Structural superposition of the D2 domain of PylC from M. barkeri (blue) and the
corresponding central domains of Ddl from Thermus thermophilus (green) and BC from
Campylobacter jejuni (orange) as stereo presentation. The T-loop of PylC shown in red is not
structurally constrained (in contrast to Ddl and BC, indicated by a red arrow) and thus is able to
perform simple structural rearrangements without causing major domain movements.

Fig. S3. Amino acid residues in contact with both adenylates (black) and LysN-D-Orn (ornithyl
moiety: green, lysyl moiety: yellow) from the crystal structure of state IV. The interaction
distances are shown in Å. In the upper right corner the octahedral coordination of both Mg 2+ ions
is displayed.

Fig. S4. Stereo view of the active site of PylC representing state IV*, harboring the modeled
natural PylC substrate, 3MO. The 2Fo-Fc omit electron density map (blue mesh) is shown from
the crystal structure displaying state IV and is contoured at 1.0 σ. Color coding and orientation
are according to Fig. 4. Note, the electron density map displays an alternative conformation of the
D-Orn side chain in which the methyl group perfectly fits and performs Van-der-Waals
interactions with V187 (indicated by a red arrow).

Fig. S5. Primary sequence alignment of PylC proteins. Secondary structure elements are shown
for PylC. Strictly conserved amino acid residues in contact with LysN-D-Orn are highlighted in
blue, functionally conserved residues are highlighted in light blue. Strictly or functionally
conserved amino acid residues not in contact with the product are shown in grey and light grey,
respectively. METBF: Methanosarcina barkeri Fusaro, METBA: Methanosarcina barkeri,

Desulfitobacterium hafniense, METMA: Methanosarcina mazei, ACEAZ: Acetohalobium

Fig. S6. Primary sequence alignment of PylC from Methanosarcina barkeri Fusaro with Ddl
from Thermus thermophilus HB8. Secondary structure elements are shown for PylC and Ddl,
residue numbers are displayed for PylC. Color coding of the letter background refers to PylC and
is according to Fig. S5. Strictly conserved residues for PylC and Ddl are shown in bold red
letters.
