PA-I lectin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa binds acyl homoserine lactones

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2005
The study analyses the binding affinities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA-I lectin (PA-IL) to three N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHSL), quorum sensing signal molecules responsible for cell-cell communication in bacteria. It shows that like some plant lectins, PA-IL has a dual function and, besides its carbohydrate-binding capacity, can accommodate AHLS ...

Acylated Homoserine Lactone Signaling in Marine Bacterial Systems

2014
This chapter reviews the current understanding of acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) signaling in marine bacterial systems outside of the well-described Vibrio fischeriand Vibrio harveyi models. AHL production has far only been documented in proteobacterial groups.

Microbial metabolism of quorum-sensing molecules acyl-homoserine lactones, γ-heptalactone and other lactones

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2014
The cell-to-cell communication of microorganisms is known to be via exertion of certain chemical compounds (signal molecules) and is referred to as quorum sensing (QS). QS phenomenon is widespread in microbial communities. Several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi use lactone-containing compounds (e.g.

LacZ‐Based Detection of Acyl‐Homoserine Lactone Quorum‐Sensing Signals

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2006
AbstractMany bacteria use quorum‐sensing regulatory systems to monitor their population density and to coordinate their genetic expression under certain conditions. Acyl‐homoserine lactones are often produced by many Gram‐negative bacteria and serve as quorum‐sensing signal molecules.

Modeling the effect of acylated homoserine lactone antagonists in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Biosystems, 2005
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium that causes serious illnesses, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, often with a fatal outcome. The finding that the acylated homoserine lactone quorum sensing (QS) system controls the production of virulence factors in P.
