Protein
Acyl-homoserine-lactone synthase
Organism
Pectobacterium parmentieri
Function
Required for the synthesis of OHHL (N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone), an autoinducer molecule which binds to ExpR and thus acts in virulence (soft rot disease) through the activation of genes for plant tissue macerating enzymes.
Similarity
Belongs to the autoinducer synthase family.
