Identification
Name:S-Ribosyl-L-homocysteine
DescriptionS-ribosyl-L-homocysteine is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). AI-2 is spontaneously derived from 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione that, along with homocysteine, is produced by cleavage of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and S-ribosylhomocysteine by the Pfs and LuxS enzymes.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the irreversible cleavage of the glycosidic bond in both 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and S- adenosylhomocysteine (SAH/AdoHcy) to adenine and the corresponding thioribose, 5'-methylthioribose and S-ribosylhomocysteine, respectively. Can also use 5'-isobutylthioadenosine, 5'-n- butylthioadenosine, S-adenosyl-D-homocysteine, decarboxylated adenosylhomocysteine, deaminated adenosylhomocysteine and S-2-aza- adenosylhomocysteine as substrates
Gene Name:
mtnN
Uniprot ID:
P0AF12
Molecular weight:
24354
Reactions
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H(2)O = S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine + adenine.
S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + H(2)O = S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribose + adenine.
General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific 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)
Gene Name:
luxS
