  • In the ortho-cleavage pathway ( link ), the 3,4-oxygenase pcaHG cleaves the ring to 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate, a cycloisomerase forms 4-carboxymuconolactone (2-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-yl)-acetate), a decarboxylase forms 3-oxoadipate enol lactone ((4,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-yl)-acetate), and a hydrolase forms 3-oxoadipate.

  • This series of steps is part of protocatechuate para-cleavage, link , or catechol degradation II, link . (lbl.gov)
  • Comment: An aerobic route for degradation of 4-hydroxybenzoate involves 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase pobA, which forms protocatechuate (3,4-dihydroxybenzoate). (lbl.gov)
  • Comment: In MetaCyc pathway glutaryl-CoA degradation ( link ), glutaryl-CoA is oxidized to (E)-glutaconyl-CoA and oxidatively decarboxylated to crotonyl-CoA (both by the same enzyme), hydrated to 3-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA, oxidized to acetoacetyl-CoA, and cleaved to two acetyl-CoA. (lbl.gov)
  • Comment: In the meta-cleavage pathway ( link ), the 4,5-dioxygenase ligAB splits protocatechuate to 4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde. (lbl.gov)
  • In the para-cleavage pathway ( link ), the 2,3-dioxygenase praA forms (2Z,4Z)-2-hydroxy-5-carboxymuconate-6-semialdehyde, which spontaneously decarboxylates to (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate, also known as 2-hydroxymuconate 6-semialdehyde. (lbl.gov)
