Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-formylmaleamate
DescriptionN-formylmaleamate is a metabolite belonging to the class of amides. Its chemical structure features a maleamate backbone with a formyl group attached, which plays a crucial role in various biochemical pathways. Notably, N-formylmaleamate is involved in the nicotine catabolic pathway of Pseudomonas putida S16, where it is acted upon by specific enzymes. Structural, computational, and enzymatic analyses have demonstrated that N-formylmaleamate deformylase (Nfo) and maleamate amidase (Ami) are key amide hydrolases that recognize and process N-formylmaleamate and its derivatives. These enzymes facilitate the hydrolysis of the amide bond, ultimately leading to the degradation of nicotine and related compounds. The intricate interactions between N-formylmaleamate and these enzymes underscore its significance in microbial metabolism, particularly in the context of environmental bioremediation and the microbial degradation of alkaloids.
