Degradation of Bacterial Quorum Sensing Signaling Molecules by the Microscopic Yeast Trichosporon loubieri Isolated from Tropical Wetland Waters

open access: yesSensors, 2013
Proteobacteria produce N-acylhomoserine lactones as signaling molecules, which will bind to their cognate receptor and activate quorum sensing-mediated phenotypes in a population-dependent manner.

Negative association between paraoxonase 2, anthropometric markers and metabolic syndrome

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2015
Background Metabolic syndrome (MS) has a great impact on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Our aim was to investigate the association of MS with some oxidant and antioxidant markers, including pro-and antioxidant status of peripheral blood ...

A long and winding road: defining the biological role and clinical importance of paraoxonases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an enzyme belonging to a three-member gene family, each of which is highly conserved in mammalian evolution. Whilst there is consensus that the paraoxonase family members have a general protective influence, their precise ...

Active site loop conformation regulates promiscuous activity in a lactonase from Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Enzyme promiscuity is a prerequisite for fast divergent evolution of biocatalysts. A phosphotriesterase-like lactonase (PLL) from Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426 (GkaP) exhibits main lactonase and promiscuous phosphotriesterase activities.

Characterization of a Novel N-Acylhomoserine Lactonase RmmL from Ruegeria mobilis YJ3

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2018
Gram-negative bacteria utilize N-acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signaling molecules for intercellular communication. Cell-to-cell communication depends on cell population density, and AHL-dependent QS is related to the production ...
