No significant binding was detected for p40phox and p67phox for concentrations ≤1 µM. The binding of PCNA with p47phox (25–400 nM), p47-PX domain (1.83–29.5 µM), or p47peptide 106–127 (0.31–40 µM) was investigated by SPR as described in Materials and methods. Kinetics parameters were calculated using either two-state, 1:1 Langmuir, or heterogeneous ligand reactions models. For the two-state binding model (A + BABAB*) that fit the best for full-length p47phox, ka1, kd1, kforward, and kbackward constants were determined by global fitting. The dissociation constant KD was determined from the (kd1/ka1)/(1 + kforward/kbackward) ratio. The heterogeneous ligand model accounts for two different binding sites on the immobilized PCNA, and the corresponding two kinetic values were calculated. For 1:1 Langmuir and heterogeneous ligand models, the equilibrium dissociation constant is calculated by KD = kd/ka. The data presented were obtained with a statistic χ2 value <2. Rac2, p40phox, and p67phox were also tested for their interaction with PCNA. Binding of Rac2 (0.51–8, 2 µM) to PCNA was measured and evaluated as reported below (χ2 value 0.6). NA, not applicable; ND, the very low binding signal detected for p47 83–110, 63–90, and 46–67 peptides did not allow evaluation of kinetic data.
