KEGG   ENZYME: 6.3.1.18
Entry
EC 6.3.1.18                 Enzyme                                 
Name
gamma-glutamylanilide synthase;
atdA1 (gene name);
tdnQ (gene name);
dcaQ (gene name)
Class
Ligases;
Forming carbon-nitrogen bonds;
Acid-D-ammonia (or amine) ligases (amide synthases)
Sysname
L-glutamate:aniline ligase (ADP-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + L-glutamate + aniline = ADP + phosphate + N5-phenyl-L-glutamine [RN:R10772]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10772
Substrate
ATP [CPD:C00002];
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025];
aniline [CPD:C00292]
Product
ADP [CPD:C00008];
phosphate [CPD:C00009];
N5-phenyl-L-glutamine [CPD:C20843]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Acinetobacter sp. YAA, catalyses the first step in the degradation of aniline. It can also accept chlorinated and methylated forms of aniline, preferrably in the o- and p-positions.
