EC 2.3.1.178     
Accepted name: diaminobutyrate acetyltransferase
Reaction: acetyl-CoA + L-2,4-diaminobutanoate = CoA + (2S)-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoate

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].

EC 3.5.4.44     
Accepted name: ectoine hydrolase
Reaction: ectoine + H2O = (2S)-2-acetamido-4-aminobutanoate
Glossary: ectoine = (4S)-2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylate
Other name(s): doeA (gene name)
Systematic name: ectoine aminohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme, found in some halophilic bacteria, is involved in the degradation of the compatible solute ectoine. The enzyme, which belongs to peptidase family M24, only acts in the direction of ectoine hydrolysis. It also produces smaller amounts of (2S)-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoate, which is recycled back to ectoine by EC 4.2.1.108, ectoine synthase.
