N-十六烷酰基-L-高丝氨酸内酯

N-十六烷酰基-L-高丝氨酸内酯是由LuxI AHL合酶同系物SinI产生的许多亲脂性长酰基侧链AHL之一，参与群体感应信号转导。meliloti |，一种固氮细菌。它是由变形杆菌产生的最丰富的AHL。荚膜|并激活| R之间的遗传交换。荚膜。N-十六烷酰基-L-高丝氨酸内酯趋于定位在细菌的相对亲脂性细胞环境中，并且不能通过细胞膜自由扩散。长链N-酰基高丝氨酸内酯可以通过外排泵从细胞中输出，或者可以通过细胞外外膜囊泡在通讯细胞之间运输。

N-hexadecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is one of a number of lipophilic, long acyl side-chain bearing AHLs produced by the LuxI AHL synthase homolog SinI involved in quorum-sensing signaling in|S. meliloti|, a nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It is the most abundant AHL produced by the proteobacterium|R. capsulatus|and activates genetic exchange between|R. capsulatus|cells. N-hexadecanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone tends to localize in relatively lipophilic cellular environments of bacteria and cannot diffuse freely through the cell membrane. The long-chain N-acylhomoserine lactones may be exported from cells by efflux pumps or may be transported between communicating cells by extracellular outer membrane vesicles.
