Probable coenzyme A ligase; Catalyzes the formation of anthraniloyl-CoA, which is the priming step for entry into the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) biosynthetic pathway. Also active on a variety of aromatic substrates, including benzoate and chloro and fluoro derivatives of anthranilate.

Quinolone signal response protein; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the intermediate 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA (2-ABA-CoA) to form 2- aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA), the precursor of HHQ. In vitro, can also hydrolyze other substrates such as S-ethyl-acetothioacetate and acetoacetyl-CoA, but is inactive against anthraniloyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and octanoyl-CoA. Be [...]

3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase III; Required for the biosynthesis of a number of signaling molecules, such as the quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (PQS), 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline (HHQ) and 2,4- dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ). These molecules are required for normal biofilm formation. Catalyzes the transfer of the anthraniloyl moiety from anthraniloyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA to form 2-aminobenzoylacetyl-CoA. The first step of the reaction is the formation of a covalent anthraniloyl-PqsD intermediate. Next, the short-lived intermediate 3-(2-aminophenyl)- 3-oxopropa [...]

Transcriptional regulator MvfR; Transcription regulator that plays a critical role in virulence by positively regulating the expression of multiple quorum sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors, genes involved in protein secretion, translation, response to oxidative stress and the phnAB operon. At the stationary phase, negatively autoregulates its function through cleavage and translocation to the extracellular space ; Belongs to the LysR transcriptional regulatory family.

PqsC; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. First, PqsC acquires an octanoyl group from octanoyl-CoA and forms an octanoyl-PqsC intermediate. Then, together with PqsB, it catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and re [...]

PqsB; Required for the biosynthesis of the quorum-sensing signaling molecules 2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone (HHQ) and 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)- quinolone (Pseudomonas quinolone signal or PQS), which are important for biofilm formation and virulence. The PqsC/PqsB complex catalyzes the condensation of 2-aminobenzoylacetate (2-ABA) and octanoyl-CoA to form HHQ. PqsB, together with PqsC, catalyzes the coupling of 2-ABA with the octanoate group, leading to decarboxylation and dehydration, and resulting in closure of the quinoline ring. PqsB is probably required for the proper folding of PqsC ra [...]

P-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase; Catalyzes the incorporation of an atom of dioxygen into p- hydroxybenzoate (p-OHB) to form 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate (3,4DOHB). The reaction occurs in two parts: reduction of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in the enzyme by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in response to binding p-hydroxybenzoate to the enzyme and oxidation of reduced FAD with oxygen to form a hydroperoxide, which then oxygenates p-hydroxybenzoate. Belongs to the aromatic-ring hydroxylase family.
