| Type | Family |
| Description | Members of this family of class III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferases are diaminobutyrate--2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase ( ) that catalyze the first step in ectoine biosynthesis from L-aspartate beta-semialdehyde. This family is readily separated phylogenetically from enzymes with the same substrate and product but involved in other process such as siderophore ( ) or 1,3-diaminopropane ( ) biosynthesis. Ectoine is a compatible solute particularly effective in conferring salt tolerance. |
