Its N-terminal/transmembrane region targets it to the plasma membrane and dictates that it releases superoxide extracellularly—rapidly converted to H2O2—whereas swapping in Nox4 elements shifts it to intracellular vesicles and switches its output to H2O2 [PMID:18760347, PMID:19061439]. NOX1 activity is built by an assembling multiprotein complex: the small GTPase Rac1 binds NOX1 directly and, with the organizer/activator subunits NOXO1 and NOXA1, is required for catalysis [PMID:16636067, PMID:15949904]. Assembly is tuned post-translationally—PKCβ1 phosphorylates NOX1-Thr429 to license NOXA1 docking, PKA phosphorylation of NOXA1 (Ser172/Ser461) promotes 14-3-3 binding and complex disassembly, and PDI forms a redox-dependent disulfide with p47phox to drive assembly—and NOXA1 is further stabilized by Peroxiredoxin 6 [PMID:25228390, PMID:17913709, PMID:30580571, PMID:27094494]. NOX1 is recruited to and activated by receptor/adaptor complexes including the AT1 receptor, TNF-induced TRADD/RIP1, TLR2, and CD47/thrombospondin-1, and it acts spatially through dynamin-dependent endosomal versus EGFR-transactivation routes [PMID:22636674, PMID:17560373, PMID:34127487, PMID:29042481, PMID:19737091]. The resulting ROS execute signaling by oxidative inactivation of phosphatases (PTEN, PTP-PEST) and oxidation of redox-sensitive cysteines on Akt, the NMDA receptor subunit NR1, and S100A9 (activating mTORC1), thereby controlling integrin-dependent epithelial wound repair, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cancer stem-cell proliferation, and depressive behavior [PMID:23241962, PMID:22982050, PMID:28314819, PMID:31365870]. In vivo, NOX1 mediates the Ang II pressor response by limiting NO bioavailability, drives p53/p21-dependent and IL-6/SASP-linked vascular senescence, and shapes intestinal epithelial identity and inflammation, where loss-of-function NOX1 mutations impair colonic ROS production [PMID:16246966, PMID:29042481, PMID:34654740, PMID:36191961, PMID:29091079].
