Comment
Catalyses the first step in the degradation of chlorobenzoate in Pseudomonas. In many microorganisms, this activity comprises three separate enzymes, EC
6.2.1.33 (4-chlorobenzoate---CoA ligase), EC
3.8.1.7 (4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase) and EC
3.1.2.23 (4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase).
History
EC 3.8.1.6 created 1989, modified 1999
