synthesis | bio-based conversion from wastes/byproducts of nylon-6 to adipate (nylon-66 monomer) is possible, when the NADPH generated by the NylE reaction is re-oxidized to NADP+ by coupling a suitable oxidoreductase reaction and the enzyme activity is high enough at a practical level | Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens |

metabolism | enzymatic degradation of 6-aminohexanoate and its oligomers in Arthrobacter sp. KI7 by the Nyl enzymes. A 6-aminohexanoate oligomer is converted to adipate, pathway overview. 6-Aminohexanoate oligomers are almost completely converted to the monomers (Ahx) by the three nylon oligomer-degrading enzymes, NylA, NylB, and NylC. 6-Aminohexanoate aminotransferase (NylD1) catalyzes the reaction of 6-aminohexanoate to adipate semialdehyde using alpha-ketoglutarate, pyruvate, and glyoxylate as amino acceptors, generating glutamate, alanine, and glycine, respectively. The reaction requires pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor. For further metabolism, adipate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NylE1) catalyzes the oxidative reaction of adipate semialdehyde to adipate using NADP+ as a cofactor | Paenarthrobacter ureafaciens |
