The Structure and Function of Paraoxonase-1 and Its Comparison to Paraoxonase-2 and -3
Molecules, 2020 Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is the most studied member of the group of paraoxonases (PONs). This enzyme possesses three enzymatic activities: lactonase, arylesterase, and paraoxonase activity.

Human Paraoxonase-2 (PON2): Protein Functions and Modulation
Antioxidants, 2021 PON1, PON2, and PON3 belong to a family of lactone hydrolyzing enzymes endowed with various substrate specificities. Among PONs, PON2 shows the highest hydrolytic activity toward many acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HL) involved in bacterial quorum ...

Specificity and Enzyme Kinetics of the Quorum-quenching N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Lactonase (AHL-lactonase) [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 N-Acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum-sensing signals are the vital elements of bacterial quorum-sensing systems, which regulate diverse biological functions, including virulence. The AHL-lactonase, a quorumquenching enzyme encoded by aiiA from Bacillus sp., inactivates AHLs by hydrolyzing the lactone bond to produce corresponding N-acyl homoserines ...

Signal Disruption Leads to Changes in Bacterial Community Population
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The disruption of bacterial signaling (quorum quenching) has been proven to be an innovative approach to influence the behavior of bacteria. In particular, lactonase enzymes that are capable of hydrolyzing the N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules ...

Modulation of paraoxonase 1 and 3 expression after moderate exercise training in the rat
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Paraoxonases (PONs) are a small family of antioxidant enzymes whose antiatherogenic activity is well known. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of moderate aerobic training on their expression using a rat model.

Low Serum Paraoxonase-1 Lactonase and Arylesterase Activities in Obese Children and Adolescents
Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2015 Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) binds mainly to high density lipoproteins (HDLs) and protects low density lipoproteins (LDLs) against oxidation. While paraoxonase and arylesterase activities are traditionally assayed, lactonase activity, accounting for ...
