Chemical compound
Benzoyl-CoA is the thioester derived from benzoic acid and coenzyme A . The term benzoyl-CoA also include diverse conjugates of coenzyme A and aromatic carboxylic acids. Benzoate, vanillin , anthranilic acid , 4-ethylphenol , p-cresol , phenol , aniline , terephthalic acid , [3-hydroxybenzoic acid , and phenylalanine are all metabolized to benzoyl-CoA. Additionally,
cinnamic acid , p-coumaric acid , ferulic acid , toluene , caffeic acid , benzyl alcohol , and mandelic acid are suspected to be processed similarly.[ 1]
As substrate for reductases
Benzoyl CoA is processed anaerobically to the cyclohexadiene derivative.
Benzoyl-CoA is a substrate for diverse reductases:[ 1] 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase , benzoyl-CoA reductase , benzoyl-CoA 3-monooxygenase , benzoate-CoA ligase , 2alpha-hydroxytaxane 2-O-benzoyltransferase , anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase , biphenyl synthase , glycine N-benzoyltransferase , ornithine N-benzoyltransferase and phenylglyoxylate dehydrogenase (acylating) . Benzoyl-CoA reductase converts benzoyl-CoA to cyclohex-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, which is susceptible to hydrolysis, eventually giving acetyl coenzyme A . In this way, many aromatic compounds are biodegraded.
As a benzoyl donor
Benzoyl-CoA is a benzoyl transfer agent for the biosynthesis of hippuric acid . Benzoyl-CoA is a substrate in the formation of xanthonoids in Hypericum androsaemum by benzophenone synthase , condensing a molecule of benzoyl-CoA with three malonyl-CoA , yielding to 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone. This intermediate is subsequently converted by a benzophenone 3′-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, leading to the formation of 2,3′,4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone.[ 2]
Benzoyl-CoA is a substrate of benzoyl-CoA reductase. This enzyme is responsible in part for the reductive dearomatization of aryl compounds mediated by bacteria under anaerobic conditions.[ 3]
