Abstract excerpt
Quorum sensing is a population density-dependent gene expression regulation mechanism in bacteria. The substrate specificity of RhlI, an enzyme in the RhlI-RhlR quorum sensing system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was explored by directed evolution to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms of quorum sensing. RhlI catalyzes S-adenosyl methionine and butanoyl or hexanoyl acyl carrier protein to form N-butanoyl...
