Dethiobiotin synthase; Catalyzes a mechanistically unusual reaction, the ATP- dependent insertion of CO2 between the N7 and N8 nitrogen atoms of 7,8- diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA) to form an ureido ring.

S-ribosylhomocysteinase; Involved in the synthesis of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) which is secreted by bacteria and is used to communicate both the cell density and the metabolic potential of the environment. The regulation of gene expression in response to changes in cell density is called quorum sensing. Catalyzes the transformation of S-ribosylhomocysteine (RHC) to homocysteine (HC) and 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentadione (DPD). Belongs to the LuxS family.

Acyl-homoserine-lactone synthase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Biotin synthase; Catalyzes the conversion of dethiobiotin (DTB) to biotin by the insertion of a sulfur atom into dethiobiotin via a radical-based mechanism; Belongs to the radical SAM superfamily. Biotin synthase family.

AAA family ATPase; Acts negatively to control the expression of luminescence. At low cell density, LuxO is phosphorylated, and together with sigma-54, causes repression of the luxCDABEGH operon. This repression could be indirect, LuxO could activate a negative regulator of luminescence. At high cell density, LuxO is dephosphorylated and inactive, therefore the luxCDABEGH operon is not repressed and light is emitted. LuxO and sigma-54 have also a role in activating the production of siderophore and in regulating the rugose colony morphology phenotype (By similarity).

L-threonine 3-dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of L-threonine to 2- amino-3-ketobutyrate; Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family.

Malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] O-methyltransferase BioC; Converts the free carboxyl group of a malonyl-thioester to its methyl ester by transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L- methionine (SAM). It allows to synthesize pimeloyl-ACP via the fatty acid synthetic pathway.

Hybrid sensor histidine kinase/response regulator; At low cell density, in the absence of AI-1 (autoinducer 1), LuxN has a kinase activity and autophosphorylates on His-471. The phosphoryl group is then transferred on Asp-771 of the response regulator domain. The phosphoryl group is transferred to LuxU, and ultimately to LuxO. At high cell density, in the presence of AI-1, the kinase activity is inactivated, and the response regulator domain has a phosphatase activity. LuxN phosphatase acts on itself. As LuxU could function to establish an equilibrium between the aspartyl-phosphate of [...]

Phosphorelay protein LuxU; Phosphorelay protein which receives sensory signals from LuxN and LuxP and transmits them to LuxO, at low cell density. LuxN and LuxP transfer a phosphoryl group to LuxU on His-58 and this phosphoryl group is further transferred to LuxO. At high cell density, as LuxU could function to establish an equilibrium between the aspartyl-phosphate of LuxN and the aspartyl-phosphate of LuxO, LuxU transfers phosphate from LuxO to LuxN (and probably LuxP) and finally phosphate is drained from the system.
