Determining the molecular basis of the PON1 polymorphism required: • Purifying rabbit and human plasma PON1’s to homogeneity • Gel purifying active rabbit PON1 • Sequencing the purified rabbit PON1 • Designing probes and screening a rabbit liver cDNA library • Isolating and characterizing the rabbit PON1 cDNA • Using rabbit PON1 cDNA to isolate the human cDNA • Characterizing the human PON1 cDNA’s to reveal polymorphisms (M55L & Q192R) • Determining which polymorphism governed activity (Q192R)

PON1 Polymorphisms G-909C G-832A G-162A G-126C T-108C L55M Q192R (CA)n A/G C/T • 5 promoter region polymorphisms • 2 coding region polymorphisms • 1 intronic polymorphic CA repeat • 4 3’ UTR polymorphisms
Summary • SNPs in PON1 contribute to determining PON1 status • The Q/R192 polymorphism determines PON1 catalytic efficiency • Promoter SNPs contribute to determining PON1 levels • PON1 status affects both the normal physiological function of PON1 as well as OP metabolism by PON1
