EC 2.6.1.76 Details
EC number
2.6.1.76
Accepted name
diaminobutyrate—2-oxoglutarate transaminase
Reaction
L-2,4-diaminobutanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + L-glutamate
Other name(s)
L-2,4-diaminobutyrate:2-ketoglutarate 4-aminotransferase, 2,4-diaminobutyrate 4-aminotransferase, diaminobutyrate aminotransferase, DABA aminotransferase, DAB aminotransferase, EctB, diaminibutyric acid aminotransferase, L-2,4-diaminobutyrate:2-oxoglutarate 4-aminotransferase
Systematic name
L-2,4-diaminobutanoate:2-oxoglutarate 4-aminotransferase
CAS registry number
196622-96-5
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that requires potassium for activity [4]. In the proteobacterium Acinetobacter baumannii, this enzyme is cotranscribed with the neighbouring ddc gene that also encodes EC 4.1.1.86, diaminobutyrate decarboxylase. Differs from EC 2.6.1.46, diaminobutyrate—pyruvate transaminase, which has pyruvate as the amino-group acceptor. This is the first enzyme in the ectoine-biosynthesis pathway, the other enzymes involved being EC 2.3.1.178, diaminobutyrate acetyltransferase and EC 4.2.1.108, ectoine synthase [3,4].
