EC 2.3.1.183     
Accepted name: phosphinothricin acetyltransferase
Reaction: acetyl-CoA + phosphinothricin = CoA + N-acetylphosphinothricin
Glossary: phosphinothricin = glufosinate = 2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl]butanoate
Other name(s): PAT (ambiguous); PPT acetyltransferase; Pt-N-acetyltransferase
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase
Comments: The substrate phosphinothricin is used as a nonselective herbicide and is a potent inhibitor of EC 6.3.1.2, glutamine synthetase, a key enzyme of nitrogen metabolism in plants [2].
