| Comments | Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are produced by a number of bacterial species and are used by them to regulate the expression of virulence genes in a process known as quorum-sensing. Each bacterial cell has a basal level of AHL and, once the population density reaches a critical level, it triggers AHL-signalling which, in turn, initiates the expression of particular virulence genes [5]. N-(3-Oxohexanoyl)-[acyl-carrier-protein] and hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] are the best substrates [1]. The fatty-acyl substrate is derived from fatty-acid biosynthesis through acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] rather than from fatty-acid degradation through acyl-CoA [1]. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine cannot be replaced by methionine, S-adenosylhomocysteine, homoserine or homoserine lactone [1]. |

| History | |
| Reactions | An acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = [acyl-carrier- protein] + S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine + an N-acyl-L-homoserine lactone. |
