In enzymology a 4-hydroxybenzoate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + 4-hydroxybenzoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoAThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP 4-hydroxybenzoate and CoA whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases.
