In enzymology, a benzoate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + benzoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + benzoyl-CoA
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, benzoate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and benzoyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include benzoate-coenzyme A ligase, benzoyl-coenzyme A synthetase, and benzoyl CoA synthetase (AMP forming). This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation.
Structural studies
[edit]As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2V7B.
