EC 3.7.1.21

Accepted name: 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA hydratase

Reaction: 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA + 2 H2O = 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA (overall reaction)
(1a) 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA + H2O = 2-hydroxy-6-oxocyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA
(1b) 2-hydroxy-6-oxocyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA + H2O = 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA

Glossary: 3-hydroxypimeloyl-CoA = 3-hydroxy-6-carboxyhexanoyl-CoA

Other name(s): 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA hydrolase; 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA hydrolase (decyclizing)

Systematic name: 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA hydrolase (ring-opening)

Comments: The enzyme, which participates in the anaerobic benzoyl-CoA degradation pathway in certain organisms, catalyses the addition of one molecule of water to the double bound of 6-oxocyclohex-1-ene-1-carbonyl-CoA followed by the hydrolytic C-C cleavage of the alicyclic ring.
