Protein Kinase CK2 Acts as a Molecular Brake to Control NADPH Oxidase 1 Activation and Colon Inflammation.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) has emerged as a prime regulator of intestinal mucosa immunity and homeostasis. Dysregulation of NOX1 may cause inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is not clear how NOX1 is regulated in vivo under inflammatory conditions. We studied the role of CK2 in this process.

Methods

The NOX1 organizer subunit, NADPH oxidase organizer 1 (NOXO1), was immunoprecipitated from cytokine-treated colon epithelial cells, and bound proteins were identified by mass spectrometry analysis. Sites on NOXO1 phosphorylated by CK2 were identified by nanoscale liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. NOX1 activity was determined in colon epithelial cells and colonoids in the presence or absence of CX-4945, a CK2 specific inhibitor. Acute coliti
