luxS

S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase. Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD).

Usage and Biology

The AI-2 “supplier” was constructed by overexpressing the luxS gene.

This part was originated from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens LL3.
