4-Methylcatechol + Oxygen ↔ 3-Methyl-cis,cis-muconate
3-Methyl-cis,cis-muconate ↔ 4-Methylmuconolactone
3-Methyl-cis,cis-muconate ↔ 3-Methylmuconolactone
1,2-Dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate + NAD ↔ 3-Methylcatechol + Carbon dioxide + Hydrogen Ion + NADH
4-Methylbenzoic acid + Hydrogen Ion + NADH + Oxygen → NAD + cis-1,2-Dihydroxy-4-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1-carboxylate
Cis-1,2-dihydroxycyclohexa-3,4-diene carboxylate dehydrogenase
Probable ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase subunit
NAD + cis-1,2-Dihydroxy-4-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1-carboxylate ↔ 4-Methylcatechol + Carbon dioxide + Hydrogen Ion + NADH
Hydrogen Ion + NADH + Oxygen + o-Methylbenzoate ↔ 1,2-Dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate + NAD
1,2-Dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate + NAD → 3-Methylcatechol + Carbon dioxide + Hydrogen Ion + NADH
Hydrogen Ion + NADH + Oxygen + m-Methylbenzoate → 1,2-Dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate + NAD
