Disease relevance of NCF4

 

High impact information on NCF4

  • The antibody against the COOH terminus of p67phox was able to communoprecipitate p40phox in conjunction with p67phox itself as was expected [6].
  • Involvement of p40phox in activation of phagocyte NADPH oxidase through association of its carboxyl-terminal, but not its amino-terminal, with p67phox [6].
  • Similar results were found regarding their effects on the O2-generating ability of cytosol in a cell-free activation system, i.e., inhibition was noted with the COOH terminus antibody but not with that for the NH2 terminus of p40phox [6].
  • These results provide the first demonstration that p40phox is practically involved in the activation of NADPH oxidase through the association of its COOH-terminal, but not its NH2-terminal, with p67phox [6].
  • A heat-stable neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) has been identified in the serum of 13 atopic asthmatic subjects after treadmill exercise [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of NCF4

  • Biochemical analysis demonstrated that several kinds of NCF, including those derived from the complement component C5 and alveolar macrophages, were present in the BAL fluid from patients with CAD and respiratory infections [8].

Associations of NCF4 with chemical compounds

  • Chronic ACT was associated with a variant of the NAD(P)H oxidase subunit NCF4 (rs1883112, -212A-->G; symbols with right-pointing arrows, as edited?' odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95% CI, 1.3 to 5.0) [16].
  • The entire coding region of p40phox was shown to interact with TRX both in assays of histidine prototrophy and beta-galactosidase activity; in contrast, no interaction was observed with substituted mutant TRX (C32S/C35S), which lacks reducing activity [10].
  • Although actin has been reported to be involved in O2- generation, the p40phox profile did not correspond to that of actin [1].
  • The tight association between p40phox and p67phox was not affected by treatment with a mixture of deoxycholate and Nonidet P-40, until subjected to SDS-PAGE [1].
  • Genomic structure, chromosomal localization, start of transcription, and tissue expression of the human p40-phox, a new component of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase complex [17].
 

Physical interactions of NCF4

  • These results showed that p40phox interacts with TRX and indicated the possibility of TRX-dependent regulation of phagocyte oxidase activity [10].
  • Binding studies revealed that coronin attaches to the C-terminal half of p40phox, a binding partner of p67phox [18].
  • CONCLUSIONS: In the resting cell, the Pro-rich motif of p47phox interacts with the SH3 domain of p40phox, which in turn associates with p67phox [19].
