4.2.1.108 | additional information | 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 | Halomonas elongata | ? | - |
