Article Title: NOX2β: A Novel Splice Variant of NOX2 That Regulates NADPH Oxidase Activity in Macrophages
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0048326
Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) The predicted amino acid sequence of the splice variant protein is aligned with the amino acid sequence of native Nox2 (Acc: BAE31076). Hyphens indicate region of spliced sequence. Asterisks indicate histidine residues reported to be important in heme binding. Underlined amino acids specify putative NADPH binding sites and hatched boxes signify predicted p47phox binding regions. Spotted boxes indicate the putative FAD binding motifs and the hash indicate predicted glycosylation sites. Alignment was achieved using DNASIS MAX software. (b) Hydrophobicity plot generated by “ The Molecular Toolkit: Colorado State University”. Red boxes indicate two regions of significant hydrophobicity.
