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). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-157 from Bacillus subtilis S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase, fused to 6X His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
