Bacterial quorum sensing quenching activity of Lysobacter leucyl aminopeptidase acts by interacting with autoinducer synthase
Acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) is the most studied autoinducer in gram-negative bacteria controlling infections of various pathogens. Quenching of AHL signaling by inhibiting AHL synthesis or AHL-receptor binding via small molecular chemicals or enzymatically degrading AHL is commonly used to block b...

Acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) is the most studied autoinducer in gram-negative bacteria controlling infections of various pathogens. Quenching of AHL signaling by inhibiting AHL synthesis or AHL-receptor binding via small molecular chemicals or enzymatically degrading AHL is commonly used to block bacterial infections. Here, we describe a new quorum-quenching strategy that directly “acquires” bacterial genes/proteins through a defined platform. We artificially expressed a typical AHL synthase gene pcoI from the biocontrol Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 in the antifungal bacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11 lacking AHL production. This step led to the discovery of multiple PcoI interacting protein candidates from L. enzymogenes. The individual expression of these candidate genes in 2P24 led to the identification of Le0959, which encodes leucyl aminopeptidase, an effective protein that inhibits AHL synthesis in 2P24. Therefore, we define Le0959 as LqqP (Lysobacter quorum-quenching protein).
