Abstrakt: Reactive oxygen species are unstable molecules generated by the partial reduction of dioxygen. NADPH oxidases are a ubiquitous family of enzymes devoted to ROS production. They fuel an array of physiological roles in different species and are chemically demanding enzymes requiring FAD, NADPH and heme prosthetic groups in addition to either calcium or a various number of cytosolic mediators for activity. These activating partners are exclusive components that partition and distinguish the NOX members from one another. To gain insight into the evolution of these activating mechanisms, and in general in their evolutionary history, we conducted an in-depth phylogenetic analysis of the NADPH oxidase family in eukaryotes. We show that all characterized NOXs share a common ancestor, which comprised a fully formed catalytic unit. Regarding the activation mode, we identified calcium-dependency as the earliest form of NOX regulation. The protein-protein mode of regulation would have evolved more recently by gene-duplication with the concomitant loss of the EF-hands motif region. These more recent events generated the diversely activated NOX systems as observed in extant animals and fungi.
