Proposed model for the role of MNK in modulating SOD3 activity in Ang II–induced hypertension. Ang II promotes the interaction of MNK with SOD3, thereby enhancing copper delivery to SOD3. Furthermore, Ang II–induced increase in SOD3 activity will decrease O2.− levels, thereby increasing available NO., endothelial function, and reducing blood pressure.
