Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Tetradecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C14-HSL) is among a group of homoserine lactones that includes; N-Heptanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C7HSL), N-octanoyl-homoserine lactone (N-C8-HSL), N-Decanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (N-C10-HSL), N-Dodecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (C12-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-Tetradecanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone is a member of N-acyl-homoserine lactone family. N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHL) regulate gene expression in gram-negative bacteria, such as Echerichia 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.

Legume-nodulating rhizobia use N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) to regulate several physiological traits related to the symbiotic plant-microbe interaction. In this work, we show that Sinorhizobium fredii SMH12, Rhizobium etli ISP42 and Rhizobium sullae IS123, three rhizobial strains with different nodulation

Several members of the bacterial genus Brenneria are pathogenic on different tree species. Cell-free extracts from the bacterial phytopathogens Brenneria rubrifaciens, B. salicis, and B. nigrifluens induced production of the red pigment rubrifacine in the B. rubrifaciens bruI insertional mutant

Intercellular communication by means of small signal molecules coordinates gene expression among bacteria. This population density-dependent regulation is known as quorum sensing. The symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021 possesses the Sin quorum sensing system based on N-acyl homoserine lactones
