Las/Rhl cell signaling system

Las System

Signal Molecule: An AHL called PAI-1 (N-3-oxododecanoyl-l-hsl)(3-oxo-C12-hsl)

Bacterial species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa gram(-) possibly E.coli (see article 3)

Receiver protein: LasR

Effect of binding: TXN activation of virulence genes, lasA, lasB, apr, toxR

Synthase: LasI enzyme

Target Genes: lasI, lasA, lasB, apr, toxR

Regulation: unknown

Rhl System


Signal Molecule: An AHL called PAI-2, Plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, N-butanoyl-homoserine lactone (C4HSL)

Bacterial species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, gram(-)

Receiver Protein: Rhl R

Effect of Binding: activation of Rhamnosyl Transferase, then making RL (rhamnolipid)

Synthase: RhlA and RhlB

Target Genes: pqsABCDE and phnAB

Regulation: unknown
