| Abstract | 2-Aminobenzoate is an intermediate in many catabolic pathways. More specificaIly, biodegradation oftryptophan, indole acetic acid, and indole alkaloids yields 2aminobenzoate as a common intermediate. Under aerobic conditions 2aminobenzoate is further degraded via gentisate or catechol [1]. Rather recently, a novel pathway of2-aminobenzoate metabolism has been elucidated. It has been shown in the eubacterium Azoarcus evansii that 2aminobenzoate and coenzyme Aare converted into 2-aminobenzoyl CoA by the catalytic action of a specific ligase [2]. 2-Aminobenzoyl CoA can then serve as substrate of a monoxygenase/reductase [3-6]. More specifically, the flavoprotein 2aminobenzoyl CoA monooxygenase/reductase (ACMR) catalyzes the dearomatization of2-aminobenzoyl CoA in a NADHand Oz-dependent reaction by a hitherto unknown mechanism. The enzyme is a dimer comprising two 85 kDa polypeptide chains and contains one FAO per subunit. Based on earlier studies, ACMR contains two domains (a monooxygenase and a reductase site) each containing one FAO molecule [3-5]. In this study, the structure of the enzyme product and the mechanism of its formation are analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. .." |
