6-hydroxy-3-succinoylpyridine 3-monooxygenase (EC1.14.13.163, 6-hydroxy-3-succinoylpyridine hydroxylase, hspA (gene), hspB (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name4-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-oxobutanoate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating, succinate semialdehyde releasing). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
4-(6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-4-oxobutanoate + 2 NADH + 2 H + O2 2,5-dihydroxypyridine + succinate semialdehyde + 2 NAD + H2O
6-hydroxy-3-succinoylpyridine 3-monooxygenase catalyses a reaction in the nicotine degradation pathway of Pseudomonas species.
