2-heptyl-4(1H)-quinolone synthase

The enzyme from the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is involved in the biosynthesis of 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline and 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline. 2-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline is a signal molecule, that is involved in regulation of virulence factor production and biofilm formation. The enzyme shows a broad specificity and is involved in the synthesis of a wide array of additional 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones synthesized by the organism.
