Anti-Mouse NOXA1 (a.a. 301-400) Polyclonal antibody

NOX1 (NADPH oxidase) similar to phagocyte NADPH oxidase, is expressed mainly in the colon epithelium and it is responsible for host defense against microbial infections by generating ROS (reactive oxygen species). NOX1 is activated by two regulatory cytosolic proteins that form a hetero-dimer, Noxo1 (NOX organizer 1) and Noxal (NOX activator 1). The interaction between Noxal and Noxol is critical for activating NOX1. However no structural studies for interaction between Noxal and Noxol has not been reported till date. Here, we studied the inter-molecular interaction between the SH3 domain of Noxal and Noxol using pull-down assay and NMR spectroscopy.N-15/C-13-labeled SH3 domain of Noxal has been purified for hetero-nuclear NMR experiments (HNCACB, CBCACONH, HNCA, HNCO, and HSQC). TALOS analysis using backbone assignment data of the Noxal SH3 domain showed that the structure primarily consists of 13-sheets. Data from pull-down assay between the Noxol and Noxal showed that the SH3 domains (Noxal) is responsible for interaction with NoxolC-terminal tail harboring proline rich region (PRR). The concentration-dependent titration of the Noxol C-terminal tail to Noxa1 shows that Noxol particularly in the RT loop: Q407*, H408, S409, A412*, G414*, E416, D417, L418, and F420; n-Src loop: C430, E431*, V432*, A435, W436, and L437; and terminal region: I447; F448*, F452* and V454 interact with Noxa1. Our results will provide a detailed understanding for interaction between Noxal and Noxol at the molecular level, providing insights into their cytoplasmic activity-mediated functioning as well as regulatory role of C-terminal tail of Noxo1 in the NOX1 complex.

gp91(phox) (Nox2), the catalytic subunit of the superoxide-generating respiratory burst oxidase, is regulated by subunits p47(phox) and p67(phox). Nox1, a homolog of gp91(phox), is regulated by NOXO1 and NOXA1, homologs of p47(phox) and p67(phox), respectively. For both Nox1 and gp91(phox), an organizer protein ( NOXO1 or p47(phox)) cooperates with an activator protein ( NOXA1 or p67(phox)) to regulate the catalytic subunit. Herein, we investigate the subunit regulation of Nox3 compared with that of other Nox enzymes. Nox3, like gp91(phox), was activated by p47(phox) plus p67(phox). Whereas gp91(phox) activity required the protein kinase C activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), Nox3 activity was already high without PMA, but was further stimulated similar to 30% by PMA. gp91(phox) was also activated by NOXO1/NOXA1 and required PMA for high activity. gp91(phox) regulation required an intact activation domain in the activator protein, as neither p67(phox)( V204A) nor NOXA1(V205A) were effective. In contrast, p67(phox)( V204A) was effective ( along with p47(phox)) in activating Nox3. Unexpectedly, Nox3 was strongly activated by NOXO1 in the absence of NOXA1 or p67(phox). Nox3 activity was regulated by PMA only when p47(phox) but not NOXO1 was present, consistent with the phosphorylation-regulated autoinhibitory region in p47(phox) but not in NOXO1. Deletion of the autoinhibitory region from p47(phox) rendered this subunit highly active in the absence of PMA toward both gp91(phox) and Nox3, and high activity required an activator subunit. The unique regulation of Nox3 supports a model in which multiple interactions with regulatory subunits stabilize an active conformation of the catalytic subunit.
