Maleylacetate reductase is involved in many aromatic compounds degradation pathways of aerobic microbes. Maleylacetate reductases (MAR) play an important role in the degradation of aromatic compounds in aerobic microbes. In fungi and yeasts, the enzymes are involved in the catabolism of compounds such as phenol, tyrosine, benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate and resorcinol. In bacteria, the enzymes contribute to the degradation of resorcinol, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate ([beta]-resorcylate) and 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate ([gamma]-resorcylate) via hydroxyquinol and maleylacetate. Maleylacetate reductases catalyze NADH- or NADPH-dependent reduction, at the carbon-carbon double bond, of maleylacetate or 2-chloromaleylacetate to 3-oxoadipate. In the case of 2-chloromaleylacetate, Maleylacetate reductases initially catalyses the NAD(P)H-dependent dechlorination to maleylacetate, which is then reduced to 3-oxoadipate. This enzyme is a homodimer. It is inhibited by thiol-blocking reagents such as p-chloromercuribenzoate and Hg++, indicating that the cysteine residue is probably necessary for the catalytic activity of maleylacetate reductase.
