UniProt functional annotation for P54656

UniProt code: P54656.

Organism: Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii (Erwinia stewartii).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Erwiniaceae; Pantoea.
 
Function: Required for the synthesis of OHHL (N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L- homoserine lactone), an autoinducer molecule which binds to EsaR. OHHL is necessary for biosynthesis of EPS virulence factor (extracellular heteropolysaccharide) which plays a role in the development of Stewart's wilt on sweet corn.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a fatty acyl-[ACP] + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = an N-acyl-L- homoserine lactone + H(+) + holo-[ACP] + S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10096, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9685, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:14125, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17509, ChEBI:CHEBI:55474, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:64479, ChEBI:CHEBI:138651; EC=2.3.1.184;
Similarity: Belongs to the autoinducer synthase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00533}.
