Reaction: (2E,4E)-6-(2-aminophenyl)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate + H2O = anthranilate + (2E)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate
Other name(s): CarC
Systematic name: (2E,4E)-6-(2-aminophenyl)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate acylhydrolase
Comments: This enzyme catalyses the third step in the aerobic degradation pathway of carbazole. The effect of the presence of an amino group or hydroxyl group at the 2'-position of the substrate is small. The enzyme has no cofactor requirement [2].
