Significance The enzyme,cis- prenyltransferase (cis- PTase), composed of two subunits, NgBR and DHDDS, is essential for protein glycosylation reactions in all higher eukaryotes. Here, we report the heterodimeric crystal structure of the complex and show features that impacts the stability, activity, and lipid sensing of enzyme complex. Moreover, the structure rationalizes mutations that cause genetic disorders of glycosylation leading to cognitive dysfunction, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease.
