QUICK LINKS
N-3-oxo-tetradec-7Z-enoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is a signaling molecule that functions as an autoinducer in quorum sensing systems. It plays a role in regulating gene expression in bacterial populations, particularly in the coordination of group behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and antibiotic resistance. This molecule interacts with specific receptors in bacterial cells, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling events that ultimately lead to coordinated changes in gene expression. By modulating the expression of various genes, N-3-oxo-tetradec-7Z-enoyl-L-Homoserine lactone may influence the behavior and physiology of bacterial populations, allowing them to respond to changes in their environment and coordinate group activities. Its mechanism of action involves binding to specific transcriptional regulators, leading to the activation or repression of target genes involved in various cellular processes.
