Reaction: 2-aminomuconate + H2O = (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate + NH3
Glossary: 2-aminomuconate = (2Z,4E)-2-aminohexa-2,4-dienedioate
(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate = (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxymuconate
Other name(s): cnbZ (gene name)
Systematic name: 2-aminomuconate aminohydrolase [(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate-forming]
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Comamonas testosteroni CNB-1, converts 2-aminomuconate to 2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate, unlike the enzymes from Pseudomonas, which produce (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate (see EC 3.5.99.5, 2-aminomuconate deaminase). The enzyme also acts on 2-amino-5-chloromuconate.
