Microorganisms, 2020 Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent mechanism that regulates the expression of specific genes in microbial cells. Quorum quenching (QQ) is a promising strategy for attenuating pathogenicity by interfering with the QS system of pathogens.

Quorum Sensing Activity of Mesorhizobium sp. F7 Isolated from Potable Water
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 We isolated a bacterial isolate (F7) from potable water. The strain was identified as Mesorhizobium sp. by 16S rDNA gene phylogenetic analysis and screened for N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) production by an AHL biosensor. The AHL profile of the isolate

Quorum Sensing Activity of Enterobacter asburiae Isolated from Lettuce Leaves
Sensors, 2013 Bacterial communication or quorum sensing (QS) is achieved via sensing of QS signaling molecules consisting of oligopeptides in Gram-positive bacteria and N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) in most Gram-negative bacteria.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bacteria need to be isolated in pure culture to gain access to the wide array of interesting functions they conceal. This is challenging because they do not live in isolation but instead in communities where they actively communicate and interact with ...

Molecular Microbiology, 2014 SummaryDe novo synthesis of threonine from aspartate occurs via the β‐aspartyl phosphate pathway in plants, bacteria and fungi. However, the Trypanosoma brucei genome encodes only the last two steps in this pathway: homoserine kinase (HSK) and threonine synthase.

The Role of Transamination in the Synthesis of Homoserine in Peas [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1986 Incubation of intact pea plants (Pisum sativum), or detached shoots, in continuous light caused a substantial increase (up to 4-fold in 2 days) in levels of homoserine. Amino acids supplied to leaves in the transpiration stream enhanced the accumulation, with glutamate, aspartate, and asparagine causing similar enhancement.

The Journal of Biochemistry, 2018 Homoserine dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus (TtHSD) is a key enzyme in the aspartate pathway that catalyses the reversible conversion of l-aspartate-β-semialdehyde to l-homoserine (l-Hse) with NAD(P)H. We determined the crystal structures of unliganded TtHSD, TtHSD complexed with l-Hse and NADPH, and Lys99Ala and Lys195Ala mutant TtHSDs, which ...

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Many Proteobacteria communicate via production followed by response of quorum sensing molecules, namely, N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). These molecules consist of a lactone moiety with N-acyl side chain with various chain lengths and degrees of ...
