Rules

Overview: 4-hydroxybenzoate catabolism in GapMind is based on aerobic oxidation to 3,4-hydroxybenzoate (protocatechuate), followed by meta, ortho, or para cleavage; or reduction to benzoyl-CoA (part of a MetaCyc pathway for phenol degradation, link)

• all:
  • 4-hydroxybenzoate-transport, pobA and protocatechuate-degradation
  • or 4-hydroxybenzoate-transport, hcl, hcrA, hcrB, hcrC and benzoyl-CoA-degradation
  • Comment: An aerobic route for degradation of 4-hydroxybenzoate involves 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase pobA, which forms protocatechuate (3,4-dihydroxybenzoate). Alternatively, 4-hydroxybenzoate can be activated to 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA by hcl and reduced to benzoyl-CoA by hcrABC (link).
• protocatechuate-degradation:
  • ligA, ligB, ligC, ligI, ligU, ligJ and ligK
  • or pcaH, pcaG, pcaB, pcaC, pcaD and 3-oxoadipate-degradation
  • or praA and 2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde-degradation
  • Comment: In the meta-cleavage pathway (link), the 4,5-dioxygenase ligAB splits protocatechuate to 4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde. (In solution, this is in the hemiacetal form.) The semialdehyde is oxidized to 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate, hydrolyzed to (1E)-4-oxobut-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate, tautomerized to (1E,3E)-4-hydroxybuta-1,3-diene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate, hydrated to 2-hydroxy-4-oxobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate (4-oxalocitramalate), and split by an aldolase to pyruvate and oxaloacetate. 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. 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.
• 2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde-degradation:
  • praB, praC, praD and 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation
  • or xylF and 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation
  • Comment: Dehydrogenase praB forms 2-hydroxymuconate, tautomerase praC forms (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate (2-oxalocrotonate), and decarboxylase praD yields 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD). (This series of steps is part of protocatechuate para-cleavage, link, or catechol degradation II, link.) Or, hydrolase xylF forms HPD and formate. (This is part of a MetaCyc pathway for catechol degradation, link.)
• benzoyl-CoA-degradation:
  • benzoyl-CoA-reductase, dch, had, oah, pimB and glutaryl-CoA-degradation
  • or benzoyl-CoA-reductase, Ch1CoA, badK, badH, badI, pimD, pimC, pimF and glutaryl-CoA-degradation
  • or boxA, boxB, boxC, boxD, paaF, paaH and paaJ2
  • Comment: Benzoyl-CoA can be degraded anaerobically (link) by reduction to cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, followed by hydratase (dch) to 6-hydroxycyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA, a dehydrogenase to 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA, a hydrolase to 2-hydroxy-6-oxocycloheane-1-carbonyl-CoA, a ring-opening hydrolase to 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA [the last two steps are both catalyzed by oah], a dehydrogenase to 3-oxopimeloyl-CoA [not linked to sequence and omitted], and an acetyltransferase to glutaryl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Alternatively, after reduction to cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, Ch1CoA can further reduce it to cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxyl-CoA (link), followed by hydration to 2-hydroxy-cyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA, oxidation to 2-ketocyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA, cleavage by a ring-opening hydrolase to pimeloyl-CoA, oxidation to 2,3-didehydropimeloyl-CoA, hydration to 3-hydroxypimeloyl-C, oxidation to 3-oxopimeloyl-CoA and cleavage by a thiolase to glutaryl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Benzoyl-CoA degradation can be degraded aerobically (link) by an epoxidase (boxAB) that forms 2,3-epoxy-2-3-dihydrobenzoyl-CoA; a dihydrolase forms cis-3,4-dihydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde and formate; a dehydrogenase forms cis-3,4-dehydroadipyl-CoA; and an unknown isomerase forms trans-2,3-dehydroadipyl-CoA. This is converted to succinyl-CoA as in the anaerobic pathway (paaF, paaH, and paaJ2).
• glutaryl-CoA-degradation: gcdH, ech, fadB and atoB
  • 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.
• benzoyl-CoA-reductase:
  • bcrA, bcrB, bcrC and bcrD
  • or bamB, bamC, bamD, bamE, bamF, bamG, bamH and bamI
  • Comment: Benzoyl-CoA reduction is energetically unfavorable. There are two classes of reductases: class I enzymes (bcrABCD) use ATP to drive the reaction, while class II enzymes (bamBCDEFGHI) are thought to us an electron bifurcation. SYN_02587 (Q2LQN9) from Syntrophus aciditrophicus, which can oxidize cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA to benzoyl-CoA, is not included because it seems to lack a mechanism to drive benzoyl-CoA reduction.
• 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-degradation: mhpD, mhpE and acetaldehyde-degradation
  • Comment: (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate (HPD) is a common intermediate in the aerobic degradation of many aromatic compounds. In MetaCyc pathway 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate degradation (link), HPD is hydrated to (S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate and an aldolase cleaves it to pyruvate and acetaldehyde.
• acetaldehyde-degradation:
  • ald-dh-CoA
  • or adh and acs
  • or adh, ackA and pta
  • Comment: Acetaldehyde can be oxidized to acetyl-CoA, or oxidized to acetate and activated to acetyl-CoA by either acetyl-CoA synthetase (acs) or by acetate kinase (ackA) and phosphate acetyltransferase (pta).
• 3-oxoadipate-degradation: 3-oxodipate-CoA-transferase and pcaF
  • Comment: MetaCyc pathway 3-oxoadipate degradation (link) involves activation by CoA (using succinyl-CoA) and a thiolase (succinyltransferase) reaction that splits it to acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA.
• 3-oxodipate-CoA-transferase:
  • pcaI and pcaJ
  • or catI and catJ
  • Comment: Two different types of 3-oxoadipate CoA-transferases (EC 2.8.3.6) are known. They are both heteromeric with each subunit containing a CoA-transferase domain
• 4-hydroxybenzoate-transport:
  • pcaK
  • or fcbT1, fcbT2 and fcbT3
  • Comment: Transporters were identified using: query: transporter:4-hydroxybenzoate:p-hydroxybenzoate:4-hydroxybenzoic acid:p-hydroxybenzoic acid
