Comments [?]

FUNCTIONInvolved 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).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine = (S)-4,5- dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione + L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17753, ChEBI:CHEBI:29484, ChEBI:CHEBI:58195, ChEBI:CHEBI:58199; EC=4.4.1.21;
case <FTGroup:1>
COFACTOR Name=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Note=Binds 1 Fe cation per subunit.;
end case
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the LuxS family.
