Application

N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-Oxo-C14-HSL), a member of a family of acyl homoserine lactones, may be used to determine its mechanisms and specificity of action as a signaling molecule involved in the regulation of bacterial quorum sensing.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14-HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-(3-oxodecanoyl) homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C10 HSL), N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL), N-(3-hydroxydecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone, and N-(3-hydroxyoctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone involved in the processes of bacterial quorum sensing. These homoserine lactones are used to study the processes and mechanisms of bacterial quorum sensing.
Acyl homoserine lactone used as an autoinducer of quorum signaling by Sinorhizobium meliloti, Yersinia enterocolitica, and other Gram-negative bacteria.

N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are used as quorum-sensing signaling molecules by many Gram-negative bacteria. Here, 413 bacterial strains were obtained from the roots of potato plants and screened for AHL-degrading bacteria using Chromobacterium violaceum reporter strains. Sixty one isolates degraded N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine

Aeromonas hydrophila leads to both intestinal and extraintestinal infections in animals and humans, and the underlying mechanisms leading to mortality are largely unknown. By using a septicemic mouse model of infection, we showed that animals challenged with A. hydrophila die

Mammalian paraoxonases (PONs) are a unique, highly conserved family of calcium-dependent esterases consisting of PON1, PON2, and PON3. The PONs can hydrolyze the lactone ring of a range of N-acyl-L: -homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing signaling molecules, rendering them inactive.

Quorum sensing plays a central role in regulating many community-derived symbiotic and pathogenic relationships of bacteria, and as such has attracted much attention in recent years. Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are important signaling molecules in the quorum sensing gene-regulatory processes found
