1.2.1.65 metabolism NahF catalyzes the last reaction in the conversion of naphthalene to salicylate -, 723872 1.2.1.65 metabolism mineralization of naphthalene, detoxification of salicylaldehyde -, 725888 1.2.1.65 physiological function the enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of salicylaldehyde to salicylate in the carbaryl-degrading Pseudomonas sp. strain C6 741638 1.2.1.65 metabolism pathway for the degradation of carbaryl via gentisate, overview. Various enzymes are involved in the metabolic pathway, including salicylaldehyde dehydroganse 741793 1.2.1.65 evolution network and phylogenetic analyses indicated that salicylaldehyde dehydrogenases (SALDs) and the homologues are present in bacteria and fungi, phylogenetic tree, distribution, and evolution of SALD, overview. Key residues in SALDs are analyzed by evolutionary methods and a molecular simulation analysis. The catalytic residue is most highly conserved, followed by the residues binding NAD+ and then the residues binding salicylaldehyde, molecular simulation analysis 743833 1.2.1.65 malfunction site-directed mutagenesis of selected residues binding NAD+ and/or SAL affects the enzyme's catalytic efficiency, but does not eliminate catalysis. Cys284 is positioned close to both NAD+ and SAL, implicating it as a potentially important residue 743833 1.2.1.65 metabolism the salicylaldehyde dehydrogenases is involved in the naphthalene degradation pathway 743833 1.2.1.65 additional information substrate binding induces a conformational change 743833 1.2.1.65 physiological function salicylaldehyde dehydrogenase is responsible for the oxidation of salicylaldehyde to salicylate using NAD+ as a cofactor in the naphthalene degradation pathway 743833
