Sysname
salicylate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + salicylate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + 2-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA (overall reaction) [RN:
R12642 ];
(1a) ATP + salicylate = diphosphate + (2-hydroxybenzoyl)adenylate [RN:
R12640 ];
(1b) (2-hydroxybenzoyl)adenylate + CoA = AMP + 2-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA [RN:
R12641 ]

Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Thauera aromatica and Streptomyces sp. WA46, participates in a salicylate degradation pathway. It activates salicylate by its adenylation to (2-hydroxybenzoyl)adenylate, followed by the transfer of the activated compound to coenzyme A.
