DE   Quinaldate 4-oxidoreductase.
AN   Quinaldic acid 4-oxidoreductase.
CA   Quinaldate + acceptor + H(2)O = kynurenate + reduced acceptor.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. AK2 also acts on quinoline-8-
CC       carboxylate, whereas that from Serratia marcescens 2CC-1 will oxidize
CC       nicotinate; quinaldate is a substrate for both of these enzymes.
CC   -!- 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonate acid, 1,4-benzoquinone, 1,2-
CC       naphthoquinone, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), thionine and menadione
CC       will serve as an electron acceptor for the former enzyme and
CC       ferricyanide for the latter; Meldola blue, iodonitrotetrazolium
CC       chloride (INT), phenazine methosulfate (PMS), 2,6-
CC       dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) and cytochrome c will act as
CC       electron acceptors for both.
