ID 6.2.1.37 DE 3-hydroxybenzoate--CoA ligase. AN 3-hydroxybenzoate--coenzyme A ligase (AMP-forming). AN 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA synthetase. CA 3-hydroxybenzoate + ATP + CoA = 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate. CC -!- The enzyme works equally well with 4-hydroxybenzoate but shows low CC activity toward benzoate, 4-aminobenzoate, 3-aminobenzoate, CC 3-fluorobenzoate, 4-fluorobenzoate, 3-chlorobenzoate, CC and 4-chlorobenzoate. CC -!- There is no activity with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, 2,3- CC dihydroxybenzoate, and 2-hydroxybenzoate as substrates. CC -!- Formerly EC 6.2.1.n1. DR Q9AJS8, 3HBCL_THAAR; //
