EC	3.5.99.5
Accepted name:	2-aminomuconate deaminase
Reaction:	2-aminomuconate + H2O = (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate + NH3
Other name(s):	amnD (gene name); nbaF (gene name)
Systematic name:	2-aminomuconate aminohydrolase
Comments:	2-Aminomuconate is an intermediate in the bacterial biodegradation of nitrobenzene. The enzyme has been isolated from several species, including Pseudomonas pseudocaligenes JS45, Pseudomonas fluorescens KU-7, Pseudomonas sp. AP3 and Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315. The reaction is spontaneous in acid conditions.
