Background: NQO-1

NAD(P)H:quinone acceptor oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), also known as DT-diaphorase, is a widely-distributed FAD-dependent flavoprotein that promotes 2-electron reductions of quinones, quinoneimines, nitroaromatics, and azo dyes (1, 2). As a result it prevents the one electron reduction of quinones that results in the production of radical species. NQO1 is a highly-inducible enzyme that is regulated by the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway (2, 3). The increase and decrease of NQO1 levels are associated with decreased and increased susceptibilities to oxidative stress, respectively. Thus, NQO1 is a marker cytoprotective enzyme in oxidative stress. Independently of its catalytic function, NQO1 plays a role in regulating the proteosomal degradation of p53, p73a, and p33 (2). NQO1 physically interacts with p53 and p73 in an NADH-dependent manner and protects them from 20S proteasomal degradation in a ubiquitin independent pathway (4).
