Replacing acetyl-CoA with PNPA as acetyl group donor showed a drastic reduction in transferase activity, arising due to the interaction of R227 of the enzyme with PNPA. This could prevent the binding of the second substrate in the right orientation and results in the preferential transfer of the acetyl group to water, thus exhibiting hydrolase rather than transferase activity. In this paper, we report that MetA has both transferase and hydrolase activity depending on the correct orientation of the second substrate and the availabili
