Gene Description

Dual oxidase 1 (Duox1) is a multi-pass transmembrane flavocytochrome that forms an obligate heterodimeric and heterotetrameric complex with the maturation factor Duoxa1 at the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells to generate extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Its cytosolic dehydrogenase domain binds NADPH and FAD and transfers electrons through two transmembrane hemes coordinated within helices S2-S5 (via Phe1097) to reduce extracellular O2 to H2O2 in a calcium-regulated manner mediated by intracellular EF-hand domains. Although Duox1 possesses a large N-terminal extracellular peroxidase-homology domain, cryo-EM structures of the mouse Duox1-Duoxa1 complex demonstrate that this domain lacks heme-coordinating histidines, binds no heme, and has no intrinsic peroxidase activity. Duox1-derived H2O2 serves as the substrate for lactoperoxidase-catalyzed hypothiocyanite synthesis in airway mucosal antiviral and antibacterial innate immunity, supports thyroid peroxidase-mediated thyroid hormone biosynthesis, and acts as a diffusible redox signal in epithelial wound repair, cell motility, and neural stem cell differentiation.

Summary: Cryo-EM structures of the mouse DUOX1-DUOXA1 complex directly confirm that the extracellular N-terminal peroxidase-homology domain (PHD) lacks heme-coordinating histidines, binds no heme, and has no intrinsic peroxidase activity.
Reason: Keep the NOT annotation. In mouse DUOX1, just as in human DUOX1 (UniProtKB:Q9NRD9), the N-terminal PHD (residues 26-593) adopts a peroxidase-like fold but lacks the histidines required for heme coordination and shows no heme density in high-resolution cryo-EM maps (PMID:32929281). The two catalytic hemes of DUOX1 reside in the transmembrane ferric-reductase domain rather than the PHD.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32929281
Though the PHD of DUOX1 has an overall architecture of peroxidase with an RMSD of 1.3 Γ… when superimposed with the bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO, PDB 5B72) (Extended Data Fig. 2a)21, the facts that no heme density is observed in the cryo-EM map and histidines needed for heme coordination are missing in the putative binding pocket strongly suggest that the PHD domain of DUOX1 lacks heme-dependent peroxidase activity.

CAUTION: The role of the N-terminal peroxidase-like domain is unclear.

IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Mouse DUOX1 binds calcium ions both at a structural cation-binding site in its extracellular PHD and via intracellular EF-hand domains that gate NADPH oxidase activity.
Reason: Core. Cryo-EM structures of mouse DUOX1-DUOXA1 resolve a bound cation (Ca2+) in the PHD (coordinated by Glu109, Asp170, Asn172, Asp174, and Trp176) and intracellular EF-hand modules (residues 815-930) that mediate calcium-dependent activation of H2O2 production.

Summary: Endoplasmic reticulum localization reflects biosynthetic folding, disulfide formation, and N-glycosylation of DUOX1 prior to DUOXA1-dependent trafficking to the plasma membrane.
Reason: Root organelle term retained as non-core. Immature DUOX1 is folded and N-glycosylated in the ER before pairing with DUOXA1 for cell-surface delivery, whereas mature catalytic H2O2 generation takes place at the plasma membrane.

The oxidative folding of DUOX2 that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) appears to be a key event in the trafficking of the DUOX2/DUOXA2 complex as it promotes an appropriate conformation of the N-terminal region, which is propitious to subsequent covalent interactions with the maturation factor, DUOXA2.

GO:0006979 response to oxidative stress
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
REMOVE
Summary: Unwarranted InterPro2GO mapping from the haem peroxidase domain superfamily signature (IPR010255); mouse DUOX1 PHD lacks heme and peroxidase activity, and DUOX1 generates H2O2 rather than responding to oxidative stress.
Reason: In mouse DUOX1, cryo-EM demonstrates that the N-terminal peroxidase-homology domain matched by IPR010255 lacks heme-coordinating histidines and binds no heme (PMID:32929281). Moreover, DUOX1 is an oxidant-producing NADPH oxidase rather than an enzyme that detoxifies or responds to oxidative stress.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32929281
Though the PHD of DUOX1 has an overall architecture of peroxidase with an RMSD of 1.3 Γ… when superimposed with the bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO, PDB 5B72) (Extended Data Fig. 2a)21, the facts that no heme density is observed in the cryo-EM map and histidines needed for heme coordination are missing in the putative binding pocket strongly suggest that the PHD domain of DUOX1 lacks heme-dependent peroxidase activity.

GO:0042335 cuticle development
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
REMOVE
Summary: Taxonomically invalid propagation of nematode-specific cuticle cross-linking (C. elegans BLI-3) via human DUOX1 to mouse Duox1.
Reason: Mammals do not possess an extracellular collagenous cuticle. As documented in the human DUOX1 review, human DUOX1 was annotated to GO:0042335 from a C. elegans bli-3 RNAi loss-of-function phenotype in PMID:11514595 (Edens et al., 2001), and Ensembl Compara (GO_REF:0000107) and MGI ISO (GO_REF:0000119) propagated that erroneous annotation onto mouse Duox1. Furthermore, the cryo-EM structure of mouse DUOX1 (PMID:32929281) proves its PHD lacks heme and cannot catalyze the peroxidase reaction required for cuticle dityrosine cross-linking.

Human DUOX1 carries GO:0042335 only from a C. elegans bli-3 RNAi loss-of-function study (PMID:11514595, Edens et al., 2001); neither humans nor mice have a nematode cuticle, and mammalian DUOX1 lacks heme in its PHD.

Though the PHD of DUOX1 has an overall architecture of peroxidase with an RMSD of 1.3 Γ… when superimposed with the bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO, PDB 5B72) (Extended Data Fig. 2a)21, the facts that no heme density is observed in the cryo-EM map and histidines needed for heme coordination are missing in the putative binding pocket strongly suggest that the PHD domain of DUOX1 lacks heme-dependent peroxidase activity.

GO:0072593 is overly broad given that mouse Duox1 directly catalyzes hydrogen peroxide biosynthesis (GO:0050665), and replacement with GO:0050665 should also refine the qualifier from acts_upstream_of_or_within to involved_in.

Summary: While DUOX2 is the primary H2O2 generator for thyroid hormone biosynthesis, DUOX1 is co-expressed in thyrocytes and provides auxiliary H2O2 without causing overt hypothyroidism when deleted alone in mice.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: How does the interface between the DUOX1 extracellular loops, the N-terminal PHD, and the extracellular region of DUOXA1 retain superoxide for rapid intramolecular dismutation to H2O2?

Suggested experts: Jiaxuan Wu, Lei Chen, Miklos Geiszt

Q: Does the transition between the inactive 2:2 dimer-of-heterodimers and the active 1:1 DUOX1-DUOXA1 heterodimer occur dynamically upon Ca2+ and PKA activation in native mouse airway epithelial cells?

Suggested experts: Jiaxuan Wu, Lei Chen, Balazs Rada

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Determine high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the mouse DUOX1-DUOXA1 heterodimer in the presence of saturating Ca2+ and PKA phosphorylation (or phosphomimetic mutations) to visualize the Ca2+-bound EF-hand domain and the active-state docking of the dehydrogenase domain against the transmembrane heme core.

Hypothesis: Ca2+ binding to the EF1 and EF2 motifs orders the mobile intracellular loop and stabilizes the productive electron-transfer distance between the FAD isoalloxazine ring and HEME #2.

Type: Cryo-EM single-particle reconstruction of Ca2+-bound, phosphorylated mouse DUOX1-DUOXA1 in lipid nanodiscs.

Experiment: Single-molecule subunit-counting fluorescence microscopy of endogenously tagged Duox1-mNeonGreen and Duoxa1-HaloTag in polarized mouse tracheal epithelial cells before and after purinergic (ATP/ionomycin) stimulation.

Hypothesis: Agonist-evoked Ca2+ influx shifts the equilibrium at the apical plasma membrane between 2:2 dimers-of-heterodimers and active 1:1 heterodimers.

Type: Total internal reflection / apical sheet single-molecule photobleaching and FΓΆrster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) in primary mouse tracheal air-liquid interface cultures.
