Proteomic Exploration of Paraoxonase 1 Function in Health and Disease.

ABSTRACT: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) exhibits cardio- and neuro-protective properties, which are thought to be promoted by paraoxonase 1 (PON1), a hydrolytic enzyme associated with an HDL subfraction also enriched with an anticoagulant protein (PROS1) and amyloid beta-transport protein clusterin (CLU, APOJ). Reduced levels of PON1 activity, characterized biochemically by elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcy)-thiolactone, oxidized lipids, and proteins modified by these metabolites in humans and mice, are associated with pathological abnormalities affecting the cardiovascular system (atherothrombosis) and the central nervous system (cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease). The molecular bases of these abnormalities have been largely unknown. Proteomic and metabolic studies over the past decade
