CC   -!- FUNCTION: Catalyzes the circularization of gamma-N-acetyl-alpha,gamma-
CC       diaminobutyric acid (ADABA) to ectoine (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-
CC       pyrimidine carboxylic acid), which is an excellent osmoprotectant.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01255}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=(2S)-4-acetamido-2-aminobutanoate = H2O + L-ectoine;
CC         Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17281, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:58515,
CC         ChEBI:CHEBI:58929; EC=4.2.1.108; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC         Rule:MF_01255};
CC   -!- PATHWAY: Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; ectoine biosynthesis; L-
CC       ectoine from L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde: step 3/3. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC       Rule:MF_01255}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ectoine synthase family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC       Rule:MF_01255}.
