Second or C-terminal Src homology 3 domain of NADPH oxidase (Nox) Organizing protein 1 Nox Organizing protein 1 (NoxO1) is a critical regulator of enzyme kinetics of the nonphagocytic NADPH oxidase Nox1, which catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen to form superoxide. Nox1 is expressed in colon, stomach, uterus, prostate, and vascular smooth muscle cells. NoxO1 is involved in targeting activator subunits (such as NoxA1) to Nox1. It is co-localized with Nox1 in the membranes of resting cells and directs the subcellular localization of Nox1. NoxO1 contains an N-terminal Phox homology (PX) domain, tandem SH3 domains (N-SH3 and C-SH3), and a C-terminal proline-rich region (PRR). This model characterizes the second SH3 domain (or C-SH3) of NoxO1. The tandem SH3 domains of NoxO1 interact with the PRR of p22phox, which also complexes with Nox1. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies. |
