Paraoxonases at the Heart of Neurological Disorders

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Paraoxonase enzymes serve as an important physiological redox system that participates in the protection against cellular injury caused by oxidative stress. The PON enzymes family consists of three members (PON-1, PON-2, and PON-3) that share a similar structure and location as a cluster on human chromosome 7.

Paraoxonase 1 polymorphisms and survival [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Human Genetics, 2004
The antioxidant enzyme paraoxonase 1 (PON1) has previously been suggested to confer protection against coronary heart disease (CHD), one of the main causes of death in the Western world. Two coding polymorphisms, 55M/L and 192Q/R, and a promoter variant, -107C/T, has been extensively studied with respect to susceptibility to CHD. In this study, we have

Neuroprotective Role of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM2 in Parkinson's Disease: Attenuation of Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis via Promoting ELAVL1 Ubiquitination

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM2 confers neuroprotection against 6‐OHDA‐induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. It exerts this function by binding to ELAVL1 and promoting its degradation via the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway. Thus, our study reveals the TRIM2‐ELAVL1 axis as a key regulatory mechanism for neuronal survival under 6‐OHDA‐stimulated toxic ...

Developmental expression of paraoxonase 2 [PDF]

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2016
Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is a member of the paraoxonase gene family also comprising PON1 and PON3. PON2 functions as a lactonase and exhibits anti-bacterial as well as antioxidant properties. At the cellular level, PON2 localizes to the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes where it scavenges reactive oxygen species.

The characterization of a new stabilized lactonase from the endophytic fungi Aspergillus pseudonomiae with anti‐bacterial and anti‐fungal properties

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms use diverse small‐molecule signals to coordinate behavior, supporting interspecies and interkingdom communication. These chemical dialogs shape fundamental biological processes and define interactions from cooperation to antagonism.

Paraoxonase/Arylesterase Activity of Serum Paraoxonase-1 and Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yes, 2023
The presence of a pro-oxidant state in patients with schizophrenia may account for the increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in this group and supports the potential utility of circulating biomarkers of oxidative stress for risk ...

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 4588-4610, July 2026.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
