| Accepted name: |
(E)-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA hydratase |
| Reaction: |
(R,S)-2-(α-hydroxybenzyl)succinyl-CoA = (E)-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + H2O |
| Other name(s): |
bbsH (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
(R,S)-2-(α-hydroxybenzyl)succinyl-CoA hydro-lyase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Thauera aromatica, is involved in an anaerobic toluene degradation pathway in which it catalyses the hydration of (E)-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA. |
