The plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora produces acyl-homoserine lactone signal molecules in vitro and in planta.

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2004
We report for the first time the production of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) by Erwina amylovora, an important quarantine bacterial pathogen that causes fire blight in plants. E.

Molecular mechanisms of N‐acyl homoserine lactone signals perception by plants

Cell Biology International, 2021
AbstractN‐acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) belong to the class of bacterial quorum sensing signal molecules involved in distance signal transduction between Gram‐negative bacteria colonizers of the rhizosphere, as well as bacteria and plants. AHLs synchronize the activity of genes from individual cells, allowing the bacterial population to act as a ...

N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Mediating Initial Adhesion of Microalgal Biofilm Formation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023
While pioneering methods have demonstrated that bacterial N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) signaling molecules can influence the growth and self-aggregation of suspended microalgae, whether AHLs can affect the initial adhesion to a carrier has remained an open question.

Thiourea-catalyzed aminolysis of N-acyl homoserine lactones

Chemical Communications, 2013
Thiourea catalysts accelerate aminolysis of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), molecules integral to bacterial quorum sensing. The catalysts afford rate enhancement of up to 10 times the control in CD(3)CN. Mild catalysis in other polar aprotic solvents is still observed, while the activity is attenuated in polar protic solvents.

Solution structural features of N -acyl homoserine lactones

Tetrahedron Letters, 2015
Here we demonstrate that in interbacterial quorum signal moderators, N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs), the stabilization of bioactive pharmacophore lactone against lysis is through the e(-) withdrawing N-acyl motif which reduces lactone carbonyl polarization. This lysis is assisted by weak (

Agrobacterium conjugation and gene regulation by N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones

Nature, 1993
Conjugal opines secreted by crown gall tumours induce strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens that are donors of Ti plasmids to produce a diffusible conjugation factor. This enhances the conjugal transfer efficiency of the Ti plasmid in other strains of A. tumefaciens.

The role of N-acyl homoserine lactones in maintaining the stability of aerobic granules

Bioresource Technology, 2014
In this study, porcine kidney acylase, as N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs)-degradation enzyme, was employed for the first time to directly investigate the role of AHLs in the structure stability of aerobic granules. Results clearly showed that inactivation of AHLs by AHLs-acylase could weaken the stability of aerobic granule.

Development and characterization of rat monoclonal antibodies for N-acylated homoserine lactones

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2010
Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria using diffusible chemical signaling molecules, which are called autoinducers (AI). By detecting the concentration of quorum sensing molecules through binding to a specific receptor protein, bacteria regulate their gene expressions when the concentration of autoinducers and thus the cell ...
