DE   Acyl-homoserine-lactone synthase.
AN   Acyl homoserine lactone synthase.
AN   Acyl-homoserine lactone synthase.
AN   Acyl-homoserinelactone synthase.
AN   Acylhomoserine lactone synthase.
AN   AHL synthase.
AN   AHSL synthase.
AN   Autoinducer synthase.
AN   Autoinducer synthesis protein.
AN   N-acyl homoserine lactone synthase.
CA   An acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = [acyl-carrier-
CA   protein] + S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + an N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone.
CC   -!- Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are produced by a number of bacterial
CC       species and are used by them to regulate the expression of virulence
CC       genes in a process known as quorum-sensing.
CC   -!- Each bacterial cell has a basal level of AHL and, once the population
CC       density reaches a critical level, it triggers AHL-signaling which,
CC       in turn, initiates the expression of particular virulence genes.
CC   -!- N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-[acyl-carrier-protein] and hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier-
CC       protein] are the best substrates.
CC   -!- The fatty-acyl substrate is derived from fatty-acid biosynthesis
CC       through acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] rather than from fatty-acid
CC       degradation through acyl-CoA.
CC   -!- S-adenosyl-L-methionine cannot be replaced by methionine,
CC       S-adenosylhomocysteine, homoserine or homoserine lactone.
