Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD) By similarity.
Catalytic activity	S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine = L-homocysteine + (4S)-4,5-dihydroxypentan-2,3-dione. HAMAP MF_00091
Cofactor	Binds 1 iron ion per subunit By similarity.
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the luxS family.
