General description

Benzoyl coenzyme A (Benzoyl CoA) is an intermediate in the CoA-dependent epoxide pathway, synthesized from benzoate in the presence of the enzyme benzoate-CoA ligase. It is further converted to 2,3-epoxybenzoyl-CoA and this step is catalyzed by benzoyl-CoA reductase (BoxA) and benzoyl-CoA oxygenase(BoxB).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Benzoyl coenzyme A (Benzoyl CoA) is a substrate of benzoyl-CoA reductase (box A) and a starter substrate for type-III polyketide synthase. It also acts as a substrate for plant enzymes biphenyl synthase (BIS) and benzophenone synthase (BPS). Benzoyl CoA is an effector of gentisate pathway of the bacteria, Comamonas testosteroni. It may also be used as a substrate for the characterization of specific alcohol acyltransferases and N-acyltransferase assays.
Benzoyl coenzyme A (Benzoyl CoA) may be used in studies of benzoate metabolism. Benzoyl CoA is a component of benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) oxidizing epoxidase enzyme system BoxAB. Benzoyl CoA may also be used as a substrate for characterization of specific alcohol acyltransferases. Benzoyl-CoA may be used as a starter substrate for synthesis of biphenyl and dibenzofuran phytoalexins (polyketide derivatives).

Biphenyls and dibenzofurans are the phytoalexins of the Pyrinae, a subtribe of the plant family Rosaceae. The Pyrinae correspond to the long-recognized Maloideae. Economically valuable species of the Pyrinae are apples and pears. Biphenyls and dibenzofurans are formed de novo

Sorbus aucuparia cell cultures accumulate biphenyl and dibenzofuran phytoalexins in response to elicitor treatment. These polyketide derivatives arise from the starter substrate benzoyl-CoA, the biosynthesis of which is largely unresolved. Two CoA ligases involved are cinnamate:CoA ligase and benzoate:CoA ligase

BoxA is the reductase component of the benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) oxidizing epoxidase enzyme system BoxAB. The enzyme catalyzes the key step of an hitherto unknown aerobic, CoA-dependent pathway of benzoate metabolism, which is the epoxidation of benzoyl-CoA to the non-aromatic

The coenzyme A (CoA)-dependent aerobic benzoate metabolic pathway uses an unprecedented chemical strategy to overcome the high aromatic resonance energy by forming the non-aromatic 2,3-epoxybenzoyl-CoA. The crucial dearomatizing reaction is catalyzed by three enzymes, BoxABC, where BoxA is an NADPH-dependent

Volatile esters are key compounds of kiwifruit flavour and are formed by alcohol acyltransferases that belong to the BAHD acyltransferase superfamily. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to screen kiwifruit-derived expressed sequence tags with proposed acyltransferase function in order to select ripening-specific
