3-hydroxybenzoate—CoA ligase

3-Hydroxybenzoate—CoA ligase (, 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA synthetase, 3-hydroxybenzoate-coenzyme A ligase (AMP-forming), 3-hydroxybenzoyl coenzyme A synthetase, 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA ligase) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-hydroxybenzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * ATP + 3-hydroxybenzoate + CoA $$\rightleftharpoons$$ AMP + diphosphate + 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA

The enzyme works equally well with 4-hydroxybenzoate.
