Doubts have been expressed regarding AI-2's status as a universal signal.

== Mimicry by host cells ==
Doubts have been expressed regarding AI-2's status as a universal signal. The gene responsible for its production is the widespread ''luxS''; this gene has an important role in the recycling of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, with AI-2 being a metabolic by-product of that process.<ref>{{cite doi|10.1098/rstb.2007.2049}}</ref> While it is certainly true that some bacteria respond to AI-2, it is not yet clear that it is always being produced for purposes of signalling.
It has been found that in response to bacteria or to disruption of the ], ] ] cells synthesize an AI-2 mimic that triggers quorum sensing and may play an important role in enlisting gut microbes that are known to assist in epithelial healing. In reporting these findings, the researchers write that their results “suggest that ] communication occurs between ] cells and bacteria via the AI-2 bacterial quorum-sensing system.”<ref> {{cite journal |last1=Ismail |first1=Anisa S. |last2=Valastyan |first2=Julie S. |last3=Bassler |first3=Bonnie L. |date=March 17, 2016 |title= A Host-Produced Autoinducer-2 Mimic Activates Bacterial Quorum Sensing |journal=Cell Host & Microbe |volume=19 |issue=4 |pages=470–480 |doi=10.1016/j.chom.2016.02.020 |pmid=26996306 |pmc=4869860 }}</ref>
