Protein attributes

Sequence length	168 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
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. HAMAP-Rule MF_00091
Catalytic activity	S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine = L-homocysteine + (4S)-4,5-dihydroxypentan-2,3-dione. HAMAP-Rule MF_00091
Cofactor	Binds 1 iron ion per subunit By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00091
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00091
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the LuxS family.
