Paraoxonase-1 is related to inflammation, fibrosis and PPAR delta in experimental liver disease [PDF]
, 2009 Background Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an antioxidant enzyme synthesized by the liver. It protects against liver impairment and attenuates the production of the pro-inflammatory monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1).

Rice and bean AHL-mimic quorum-sensing signals specifically interfere with the capacity to form biofilms by plant-associated bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Many bacteria regulate their gene expression in response to changes in their population density in a process called quorum sensing (QS), which involves communication between cells mediated by small diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers.

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 ...

Quorum Quenching Revisited—From Signal Decays to Signalling Confusion
Sensors, 2012 In a polymicrobial community, while some bacteria are communicating with neighboring cells (quorum sensing), others are interrupting the communication (quorum quenching), thus creating a constant arms race between intercellular communication. In the past

Substrate Specificity of Actinoplanes Antibiotic Peptide Lactonases [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1969 A constitutive peptide lactonase from Actinoplanes missouriensis hydrolyzed echinomycin, stendomycin, thiostrepton, vernamycin B, staphylomycin S, and etamycin. An induced lactonase hydrolyzed actinomycin but not the other peptide lactones.
