6.7.1.2

Accepted name:

3-aminoavenalumate diazotase

Reaction:

ATP + 3-aminoavenalumate + nitrite = AMP + diphosphate + 3-diazoavenalumate + H₂O

Glossary:

3-aminoavenalumate = (2E,4E)-5-(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)penta-2,4-dienoate
3-diazoavenalumate = 1-{3-[(1E,3E)-4-carboxylatobuta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-6-oxocyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-ylidene}diazenium

Other name(s):

avaA6 (gene name)

Systematic name:

3-aminoavenalumate:nitrite ligase (AMP-forming)

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. RI-77, participates in the biosynthesis of avenalumate, a phenolic acid originally described from oat (Avena sativa). It can also act on 3-aminocoumarate and 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoate with lower activity.
