Description
LuxS is a synthase for the AI-2 quorum sensing system. This protein is involved in the production of small molecules that are readily absorbed by multiple species of bacteria. LuxS can be used as part of a positive feedback loop in cell to cell signaling.
Notes
Nucleotide position 54 changed from A to T in order to destroy a PstI site; this is a sense mutation
Also changed stop codon from TAG to TAA (recommended in Registry Help)
Source
The LuxS sequence was pulled from E. coli MG1655 by predesigned primers.
