show Brenda entry

EC number

4.2.1.108

Accepted name

ectoine synthase

Reaction

(2S)-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoate = L-ectoine + H₂O

Other name(s)

ectC (gene name), N-acetyldiaminobutyrate dehydratase, N-acetyldiaminobutanoate dehydratase, L-ectoine synthase, 4-N-acetyl-L-2,4-diaminobutanoate hydro-lyase (L-ectoine-forming), N⁴-acetyl-L-2,4-diaminobutanoate hydro-lyase (L-ectoine-forming)

Systematic name

(2S)-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoate (L-ectoine-forming)

Comment

Ectoine is an osmoprotectant that is found in halophilic eubacteria. This enzyme is part of the ectoine biosynthesis pathway and only acts in the direction of ectoine formation. cf. EC 3.5.4.44, ectoine hydrolase.
