Acyl homoserine-lactone quorum-sensing signal generation.
Acyl homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) are important intercellular signaling molecules used by many bacteria to monitor their population density in quorum-sensing control of gene expression. These signals are synthesized by members of the LuxI family of proteins. To understand the mechanism of acyl-HSL synthesis we have purified the Pseudomonas aeruginosa RhlI protein and analyzed the kinetics of...
متن کاملAcyl-homoserine lactone degrading marine bacteria: Do they exist?
Acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSL) are small molecules that are used in density dependent regulation in some bacteria. These molecules freely diffuse from the cell into the outside environment. Hence, it may be advantageous for other bacteria to utilize these molecules as a carbon source. The aim of this study is to look for acyl-HSL-utilizing bacteria in the marine environment. One strain, a ...
متن کاملAcyl-Homoserine Lactone Quorum Sensing in the Roseobacter Clade
Members of the Roseobacter clade are ecologically important and numerically abundant in coastal environments and can associate with marine invertebrates and nutrient-rich marine snow or organic particles, on which quorum sensing (QS) may play an important role. In this review, we summarize current research progress on roseobacterial acyl-homoserine lactone-based QS, particularly focusing on thr...
متن کاملRapid acyl-homoserine lactone quorum signal biodegradation in diverse soils.
Signal degradation impacts all communications. Although acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum-sensing signals are known to be degraded by defined laboratory cultures, little is known about their stability in nature. Here, we show that acyl-HSLs are biodegraded in soils sampled from diverse U.S. sites and by termite hindgut contents. When amended to samples at physiologically relevant concen...
متن کاملA New Acyl-homoserine Lactone Molecule Generated by Nitrobacter winogradskyi.
It is crucial to reveal the regulatory mechanism of nitrification to understand nitrogen conversion in agricultural systems and wastewater treatment. In this study, the nwiI gene of Nitrobacter winogradskyi was confirmed to be a homoserine lactone synthase by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli that synthesized several acyl-homoserine lactone signals with 7 to 11 carbon acyl groups. A n...
