N-(p-Coumaroyl)-L-homoserine lactone
QUICK LINKS
N-(p-Coumaroyl)-L-homoserine lactone is a signaling molecule that functions as a quorum sensing regulator in certain bacterial species. It plays a role in the coordination of gene expression in response to cell population density, allowing bacteria to regulate behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence factor production, and antibiotic resistance. N-(p-Coumaroyl)-L-homoserine lactone molecule interacts with specific receptors within bacterial cells, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling events that ultimately lead to the coordinated expression of target genes. Modulating gene expression in response to population density N-(p-Coumaroyl)-L-homoserine lactone enables bacteria to adapt their behavior in accordance with their local environment, contributing to their ability to thrive and survive in diverse ecological niches.
