DE   salicylate--CoA ligase.
CA   ATP + CoA + salicylate = 2-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Thauera aromatica and
CC       Streptomyces sp. WA46, participates in a salicylate degradation
CC       pathway.
CC   -!- It activates salicylate by its adenylation to
CC       (2-hydroxybenzoyl)adenylate, followed by the transfer of the
CC       activated compound to coenzyme A.
