ectoine synthase accepts more than one substrate and is a reversible enzyme able to catalyze both the intramolecular condensation into and the hydrolytic cleavage of cyclic amino acid derivatives. It forms 5-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate, ADPC, by cyclic condensation of glutamine in a reversible reaction. A number of ectoine derivatives, in particular 4,5-dihydro-2-methylimidazole-4-carboxylate and L-homoectoine, are also cleaved by ectoine synthase. Proposed reaction mechanism leading to L-ectoine and 5-amino-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate, respectively, catalyzed by ectoine synthase, overview

microorganisms that carry the ectoine biosynthetic genes (ectABC) make copious amounts of ectoine as a cell protectant in response to high-osmolarity challenges. Ectoine synthase (EctC) is the key enzyme for the production of this compatible solute and mediates the last step of ectoine biosynthesis. It catalyzes the ring closure of the cyclic ectoine molecule
