This document describes biochemical pathways for producing adipic acid, caprolactam, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, hexamethylenediamine or 1,6-hexanediol by forming two terminal functional groups, comprised of carboxyl, amine or hydroxyl groups, in a C6 aliphatic backbone substrate. These pathways, metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies described herein rely on CoA-dependent elongation enzymes or analogues enzymes associated with the carbon storage pathways from polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulating bacteria.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 2,3-dehydroadipyl-CoA methyl ester from precursors such as 2-oxoglutarate using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, a thioesterase, a CoA-transferase and a CoA ligase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such enzymes. 2,3-dehydroadipyl-CoA methyl ester can be enzymatically converted to adipyl-CoA using a trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, and a methylesterase, which in turn can be enzymatically converted to adipic acid, 6-aminohexanoate, 6-hydroxyhexanoate, caprolactam, hexamethylenediamine, or 1,6-hexanediol.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 2(E)-heptenedioyl-CoA methyl ester from precursors such as 2-oxo-glutarate, acetyl-CoA, or succinyl-CoA using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, a thioesterase, a CoA-transferase, a CoA ligase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such enzymes. 2(E)-heptenedioyl-CoA methyl ester can be enzymatically converted to pimeloyl-CoA using a trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, and a methylesterase. Pimeloyl-CoA can be enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoate, 7-hydroxyheptanoate, heptamethylenediamine, or 1,7-heptanediol.

This document describes biochemical pathways for producing 6-hydroxyhexanoate methyl ester and hexanoic acid hexyl ester using one or more of a fatty acid O-methyltransferase, an alcohol O-acetyltransferase and a monooxygenase, as well as recombinant hosts expressing one or more of such enzymes. 6-hydroxyhexanoate methyl esters and hexanoic acid hexyl ester can be enzymatically converted to adipic acid, adipate semialdehyde, 6-aminohexanoate, 6-hydroxyhexanoate, hexamethylenediamine, and 1,6-hexanediol.
