Common Name3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconic acid
Description3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and a key intermediate in the catabolism of aromatic compounds, specifically within the biochemical pathways involving the degradation of phenolic compounds. Its chemical structure features two carboxylic acid groups and a conjugated diene system, which contributes to its reactivity and role in various metabolic processes. This compound is generated through the enzymatic conversion of protocatechuic acid (PCA) by certain microbial pathways, notably by the action of protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase (PCD), which facilitates the removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during this transformation (PMID:31762446 ). The presence of 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconic acid in metabolic pathways highlights its importance in microbial degradation processes, particularly in the bioremediation of environmental pollutants and the metabolic versatility of certain microorganisms. Its formation and subsequent utilization underscore the interconnectedness of aromatic compound metabolism and the broader implications for ecological and industrial applications.
