BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
3-hydroxybenzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + 3-hydroxybenzoate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA [RN:R09589]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
ATP [CPD:C00002];
3-hydroxybenzoate [CPD:C00587];
CoA [CPD:C00010]
Product
AMP [CPD:C00020];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013];
3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA [CPD:C05195]
Comment
The enzyme works equally well with 4-hydroxybenzoate but shows low activity towards benzoate, 4-aminobenzoate, 3-aminobenzoate, 3-fluorobenzoate, 4-fluorobenzoate, 3-chlorobenzoate, and 4-chlorobenzoate. There is no activity with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate, and 2-hydroxybenzoate as substrates.
