Identification
Name:S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase
Synonyms:
  • AI-2 synthesis protein
  • Autoinducer-2 production protein luxS
Gene Name:luxS
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function: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)
