Reaction: 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene + NAD(P)+ + H2O + CO2
Other name(s): 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid hydroxylase
Systematic name: 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating, decarboxylating)
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the catabolic pathway for the degradation of chrysene in some bacteria [2].
