Biochem/physiol Actions
N-Heptanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C7HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes; N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-Decanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (N-C10-HSL), N-(3-oxodecanoyl) homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C10 HSL), N-(3-oxododecanoyl)homoserine-L-lactone (3-oxo-C12-HSL), N-(3-Oxotetradecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C14-HSL, N-(3-hydroxydecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone, and N-(3-hydroxyoctanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone involved in the processes of bacterial quorum sensing. These N-acyl-homoserine lactones are used to study the processes and mechanisms of bacterial quorum sensing.
N-Heptanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such asEcherichia and Salmonella are involved in quorum sensing, cell to cell communication among bacteria. Some AHLs are potent chemoattractants for human immune cells such as neutrophils.

Transcription of the 74 kb Pseudomonas fluorescens mupirocin [pseudomonic acid (PA)] biosynthesis cluster depends on quorum sensing-dependent regulation via the LuxI/LuxR homologues MupI/MupR. To facilitate analysis of novel PAs from pathway mutants, we investigated factors that affect mup gene expression.
