Overview: Phenylalanine utilization in GapMind is based on MetaCyc pathway L-phenylalanine degradation I (aerobic, via tyrosine, link), pathway II (anaerobic, via phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase, link), degradation via phenylpyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PMC3346364), or degradation via phenylacetaldehyde:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PMID:24214948). (MetaCyc describes additional pathways, but they do not result in carbon incorporation or are not reported in prokaryotes, so they are not included in GapMind.)

• all:
  • phenylalanine-transport, ARO8, phenylpyruvate-fd-oxidoreductase and phenylacetyl-CoA-degradation
  • or phenylalanine-transport, ARO8, phenylpyruvate-decarboxylase, pad-dh and phenylacetate-degradation
  • or phenylalanine-transport, ARO8, phenylpyruvate-decarboxylase, pfor and phenylacetate-degradation
  • or phenylalanine-transport, PAH, PCBD, QDPR and tyrosine-degradation
  • Comment: Phenylalanine can be catabolized via transaminase ARO8, which forms phenylpyruvate (also known as 3-phenyl-2-oxo-propanoate), and phenylpyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, which forms phenylacetyl-CoA. In the anaerobic pathway, the transaminase ARO8 forms phenylpyruvate, a carboxy-lyase forms phenylacetaldehyde, and a dehydrogenase (pad-dh) forms phenylacetate Or, in a variation on the anaerobic pathway, the phenylacetaldehyde is oxidized to phenylacetate by phenylacetaldehyde:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (pfor). In the aerobic pathway, PAH forms tyrosine and hydroxylates its tetrahydropterin co-substrate; the tetrahydropterin is regenerated by dehydratase PCBD and reductase QDPR.
• phenylpyruvate-fd-oxidoreductase:
  • iorA and iorB
  • or iorAB
  • Comment: This enzyme is usually known as indolepyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, but it acts on phenylpyruvate as well, forming phenylacetyl-CoA (PMID:8206994). Phenylpyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase has both heterodimeric (iorA/iorB) and fused (iorAB) forms.
• phenylpyruvate-decarboxylase:
  • ARO10
  • or PPDCalpha and PPDCbeta
  • Comment: Phenylpyruvate can be decarboxylated to phenylacetaldehyde by the typical homomeric enzyme, or by a heterodimer reported in Streptomyces virginiae (see PMID:28719183)
• phenylacetyl-CoA-degradation:
  • paaA, paaB, paaC, paaE, paaG, paaZ1, paaZ2, paaJ1, paaF, paaH and paaJ2
  • or phenylacetyl-CoA-dehydrogenase, phenylglyoxylate-dehydrogenase and benzoyl-CoA-degradation
  • Comment: In the aerobic pathway, oxygen-dependent 1,2-epoxidase (PaaABCE) converts phenylacetyl-CoA to 1,2-epoxyphenylacetyl-CoA, which spontaenously rearranges to 2-(oxepinyl)acetyl-CoA; isomerase PaaG forms 2-oxepin-2(3H)-ylideneacetyl-CoA ("oxepin-CoA"); a ring-opening hydrolase forms 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA semialdehyde; a dehydrogenase forms 3-oxo-5,6-didehydrosuberyl-CoA; thiolase PaaJ forms cis-3,4-didehydroadipyl-CoA (and acetyl-CoA); isomerase PaaG forms trans-2,3-didehydroadipyl-CoA; hydratase PaaF forms (3S)-hydroxyadipyl-CoA; dehydrogenase PaaH forms 3-oxoadipyl-CoA, and thiolase PaaJ forms succinyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. (The role of PaaG is described in PMID:31689071 and differs slightly from MetaCyc.) In the anaerobic pathway, a dehydrogenase forms phenylglyoxyl-CoA, a hydrolase forms phenylglyoxylate (this step is not linked to sequence but is likely provided by the phenylglyoxylyl-CoA dehydrogenase, see PMID:10336636), and another dehydrogenase forms benzoyl-CoA and CO2. In principle, this pathway could occur aerobically, so GapMind includes aerobic pathways for degrading the benzoyl-CoA.
• phenylacetate-degradation: paaK and phenylacetyl-CoA-degradation
  • Comment: Phenylacetate is activated to phenylacetyl-CoA by paaK
• 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).
• phenylglyoxylate-dehydrogenase: padG, padI, padE, padF and padH
• phenylacetyl-CoA-dehydrogenase: padB, padC and padD
• 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.
• tyrosine-degradation: HPD, hmgA, maiA, fahA and acetoacetate-degradation
  • Comment: In pathway I, an aminotransferase (not represented) forms 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate, dioxygenase HPD forms homogentisate, another oxygenase forms 4-maleyl-acetoacetate, an isomerase forms 4-fumaryl-acetoacetate, and a hydrolase yields acetoacetate and fumarate. (Fumarate is part of the TCA cycle so its catabolism is not described.)
• acetoacetate-degradation: acetoacetate-activation and atoB
  • Comment: The acetoacetate is activated to acetoacetyl-CoA, and cleaved by acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, giving two acetyl-CoA.
• acetoacetate-activation:
  • atoA and atoD
  • or aacS
  • Comment: acetyl-CoA:acetoacetyl-CoA transferase (sometimes given EC 2.8.3.9 or EC 2.8.3.8) or succinyl-CoA:acetoacetyl-CoA transferase (EC 2.8.3.5, also known as 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase) can activate acetoacetate. These have an A and B subunit. Alternatively, an ATP-dependent ligase (aacS) can activate acetoacetate (EC 6.2.1.16).
• phenylalanine-transport:
  • livF, livG, livH, livM and livJ
  • or aroP
  • Comment: Transporters were identified using query: transporter:phenylalanine:L-phenylalanine:phe
