Dual oxidases (DUOXs), assembled from the catalytic DUOX and the auxiliary DUOXA subunits, produce hydrogen peroxide by transferring electrons from intracellular NADPH to extracellular oxygen in a calcium-activated manner. Here authors report the cryo-EM structures of human DUOX1-DUOXA1 complex in both high-calcium and low-calcium states.
