In assaying NADPH-oxidase activities using macrophage-derived cell-free systems, sodium dodecyl sulphate dependent NADPH oxidation rates were found to correlate strongly with superoxide-dismutase inhibitable cytochrome-c reduction rates. Optimum sodium dodecyl sulphate concentration was in the range 95-110 microM. A theoretical function for the activation and deactivation of NADPH-oxidase by sodium dodecyl sulphate is suggested. This function may serve to estimate the real Vmax of the enzyme and the number of detergent molecules required for the full activation of the enzymatic complex. 相似文献

Calmodulin inhibitors, W-7 and TFP, block the calmodulin-independent activation of NADPH-oxidase by arachidonate in a cell-free system 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The calmodulin inhibitor, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide (W-7), or trifluoperazine inhibited not only Fc gamma-receptor mediated cytosolic free Ca2+ increase and O2- generation in macrophages, but also an arachidonate-induced activation of NADPH-oxidase in a cell-free system. Although these results suggested the involvement of Ca2+-calmodulin system, the cell-free activation of NADPH-oxidase occurred in the presence of EGTA and addition of calmodulin had no effect. Furthermore W-7 shifted the optimal concentration of arachidonate required for the activation to a higher level, suggesting that W-7 may block the interaction between arachidonate and NADPH-oxidase system rather than inhibiting a Ca2+-calmodulin system. 相似文献

The phagocyte 47-kilodalton cytosolic oxidase protein is an early reactant in activation of the respiratory burst 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Activation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase requires participation of membrane-bound cytochrome b558 and cytosol proteins of 47 kDa (p47) and 67 kDa (p67). We examined the sequence of participation of p47 and p67 in activation of the oxidase using an arachidonate-activated cell-free superoxidase (O2-) generating assay requiring phagocyte membrane and cytosol. Neutrophil cytosol from patients with certain forms of autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) lack either p47 or p67. Initial incubation of membrane and arachidonate with CGD cytosol deficient in either p47 or p67 fails to generate superoxide in the cell-free assay until addition of complementary cytosol. CGD cytosol was incubated with arachidonate and membrane for 5-15 min and the lag time of O2- generation was measured after addition of complementary CGD cytosol. The lag time is shortened when p47, but not p67, is present in the initial incubation. We have previously shown that the peptide, RGVHFIF, corresponding to a cytoplasmic carboxyl-terminal domain of the large subunit of cytochrome b558, inhibits activation of NADPH oxidase in the cell-free assay, but does not affect the enzyme activity of fully assembled oxidase. Experiments with sequential addition of complementary CGD cytosols were performed as above, except that RGVHFIF was added after the initial incubation. The peptide failed to inhibit when added after initial incubation if p47 was present during that incubation. In contrast, the peptide markedly inhibited oxidase activity if p47 was absent during the initial incubation. These results suggest that p47, but not p67, is a participant with membrane and/or other cytosol components in early arachidonate-dependent reactions. In the absence of p67, these reactions culminate in the irreversible formation of a metastable activation intermediate that is insensitive to inhibition by RGVHFIF. After addition of p67, this activation intermediate subsequently reacts to form the active NADPH oxidase. 相似文献

Arachidonate activation of the NADPH-oxidase in intact neutrophils and in a cell-free O2- generation system was compared to synergistic activation in response to arachidonate and agents that effect protein phosphorylation. In intact neutrophils, suboptimal doses of retinal which increase protein phosphorylation, or 4B-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) an activator of protein kinase C, induced minimal O2- release, but primed neutrophils to release enhanced amounts of O2- in response to 2.5 microM arachidonate. In contrast to retinal or PMA, okadaic acid, a specific inhibitor of serine/threonine protein phosphatases, did not induce any release of O2-, but significantly increased the maximal rate and duration of O2- release in response to arachidonate. In the cell-free system, only arachidonate induced O2- generation. Consistent with previous findings, activation of the cell-free system was dependent of the presence of light membranes, cytosol, NADPH, Mg2+, and 82 microM arachidonate. Pretreatment of neutrophils with suboptimal doses of PMA or retinal had little effect on the arachidonate-stimulated release of O2- in cell-free preparations of these cells. However, cytosol (but not light membranes) from PMA or retinal-primed neutrophils was more effective in completing resting membrane NADPH-oxidase activity when compared to cytosol from resting cells. The addition of protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine and 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine decreased the effectiveness of PMA-primed cytosol to complete the cell-free system, but had little effect on cytosol obtained from cells primed with retinal. The addition of protein phosphatase inhibitors, p-nitrophenyl phosphate or okadaic acid to neutrophil cavitates increased 3-fold the release of O2- in cell-free preparations of these cells. Okadaic acid and p-nitrophenyl phosphate also increased the effectiveness of both cytosol and light membranes to complete the cell-free system when combined with cytosol or light membranes from resting neutrophils, respectively, indicating that both fractions are affected by the inhibition of protein phosphatase activity. These data indicate that increases in protein phosphorylation alone do not lead to the activation of the NADPH-oxidase, but in addition to the requirement of an anionic amphiphile, the release of O2- from intact neutrophils or in the cell-free system is increased by stimulus activation of protein kinase C or more impressively by inhibition of protein phosphatase activity. 相似文献

Activation of NADPH-oxidase by arachidonic acid involves phospholipase A2 in intact human neutrophils but not in the cell-free system 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The mechanism involved in the stimulation of NADPH-oxidase by arachidonic acid (AA) in intact human neutrophils was studied and compared with that involved in a cell-free system. [3H]-AA was released from pre-labeled cells upon AA stimulation, and phospholipase A2 inhibitors reduced in parallel the release of [3H]-AA and superoxide. Cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase or protein kinase inhibitors failed to affect either response. In a cell-free system, no release of [3H]-AA was observed after AA addition, whereas NADPH-oxidase was activated; the generation of superoxide was not inhibited by phospholipase inhibitors and was not initiated by adding phospholipase A2 to the preparation. Thus AA stimulates NADPH-oxidase through a phospholipase A2 mediated pathway in intact cells, but activates the oxidase independent of phospholipase A2 in a broken cell system, suggesting distinctive mechanisms of activation for each system. 相似文献

Activity of phagocyte NADPH-oxidase relies on the assembly of five proteins, among them the transmembrane flavocytochrome b558 (Cytb558) which consists of a heterodimer of the gp91phox and p22phox subunits. The Cytb558 is the catalytic core of the NADPH-oxidase that generates a superoxide anion from oxygen by using a reducing equivalent provided by NADPH via FAD and two hemes. We report a novel strategy to engineer and produce the stable and functional recombinant Cytb558 (rCytb558). We expressed the gp91phox and p22phox subunits using the baculovirus insect cell and, for the first time, the highly inducible Pichia pastoris system. In both hosts, the expression of the full-length proteins reproduced native electrophoretic patterns demonstrating that the two polypeptides are present and, that gp91phox undergoes co-translational glycosylation. Spectroscopic analyses showed that the rCytb558 displayed comparable spectral properties to neutrophil Cytb558. In contrast to rCytb558 produced in the insect cells with higher yield, the enzyme expressed in yeast displayed a superoxide dismutase-sensitive NADPH-oxidase activity, indicating a superoxide generation activity. It was also blocked by an inhibitor of the respiratory burst oxidase, diphenylene iodonium (DPI). As in neutrophil NADPH-oxidase, activation occurred by the interactions with the soluble regulatory subunits suggesting comparable protein-protein contact patterns. We focus on the stability and function of the protein during solubilisation and reconstitution into liposomes. By comparing oxidase activities in different membrane types, we confirm that the lipid-protein environment plays a key role in the protein function. 相似文献

Activation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase involves assembly of p47(phox), p67(phox), Rac, and flavocytochrome b(558), and the activation can be triggered in a cell-free system with an anionic amphiphile. We find that the activated oxidase in a pure cell-free system was rapidly inactivated upon dilution. When the activated oxidase was treated with a chemical cross-linker, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, the half-life of the oxidase in dilution was extended from 1min to 4h at 25 degrees C. The cross-linked oxidase was resistant to inhibition by inactive flavin analogs, indicating that cross-linking prevents flavin exchange. When a fusion protein p67N-p47N plus RacQ61L was added, flavocytochrome b(558) became spontaneously active. Cross-linking of this mixture produced an oxidase that was extremely stable to dilution (t(1/2)=6.6h). Western blotting analysis showed the presence of a cross-link between p67N-p47N and RacQ61L. These results suggest that covalently linked phox components prevents FAD loss and stabilizes the longevity of the stoichiometric complex, extending the lifespan of the active oxidase. 相似文献

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that bind invading microbes are pivotal for innate host defense. There is a growing body of evidence for the significance of NETs in the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory diseases, but the mechanism of NET formation remains unclear. Previous observation in neutrophils of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients, which defect NADPH oxidase (Nox) and fail to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), revealed that ROS contributed to the formation of NETs. However, the active species were not identified. In this study, we discovered that singlet oxygen, one of the ROS, mediated Nox-dependent NET formation upon stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate. We also revealed that singlet oxygen itself could induce NET formation by a distinct system generating singlet oxygen with porfimer sodium (Photofrin) in CGD neutrophils, as well as healthy neutrophils. This was independent of Nox activation. These results show that singlet oxygen is essential for NET formation, and provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by defects in the NADPH oxidase complex and is characterized by an increased susceptibility to infection. Other significant complications of CGD include autoimmunity and non-infectious hyperinflammatory disorders. We show that a gp91phox deficiency leads to the development of phenotypically altered T lymphocytes in mice and that this abnormal, hyperactive phenotype can be modulated by activation of the adenosine A2A receptor. T cells isolated from CGD mice produce significantly higher levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-13 than do WT cells after TCR-mediated activation; treatment with the selective adenosine A2A receptor agonist, CGS21680, potently inhibits this response. Additionally, the over exuberant inflammatory response elicited by thioglycollate challenge in gp91phox deficient mice is attenuated by CGS21680. These data suggest that treatment with A2AR agonists may be an effective therapy by which to regulate the immune system hyperactivity that results from a gp91phox deficiency. 相似文献

NADPH oxidase organizer 1 (Noxo1), harboring a PX domain, two SH3 domains, and a proline-rich region (PRR), participates in activation of superoxide-producing Nox-family NADPH oxidases. Here, we show that Noxo1 supports superoxide production in a cell-free system for gp91(phox)/Nox2 activation by arachidonic acid. This lipid enhances an SH3-mediated binding of Noxo1 to p22(phox), a protein complexed with Nox oxidases; the binding is known to be required for Nox activation. We also demonstrate that the bis-SH3 domain directly interacts with the Noxo1 PRR. The interaction appears to prevent the bis-SH3 domain and PRR from binding to their target proteins; disruption of the intramolecular interaction facilitates Noxo1 binding to p22(phox) and also allows the PRR to associate with the Nox activator Noxa1, which association is crucial for Nox activation as well. These findings suggest that Nox activation involves a conformational change leading to disruption of the bis-SH3-PRR interaction in Noxo1. 相似文献

Cell-free activation of phagocyte NADPH-oxidase: tissue and differentiation-specific expression of cytosolic cofactor activity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
J F Parkinson L P Akard M J Schell T G Gabig 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1987,145(3):1198-1204
We examined a variety of tissues for the presence of cytosolic cofactor activity that would support arachidonate-dependent cell-free activation of NADPH-oxidase in isolated human neutrophil membranes. Cofactor activity was not found in cytosol isolated from erythrocytes, lymphocytes, placenta, brain, liver, or the human promyelocytic leukemic cell line HL-60. Induction of differentiation in HL-60 cells led to expression of cytosolic cofactor activity. In dimethylsulphoxide-induced HL-60 cells the level of cytosolic cofactor activity was closely correlated with phorbol myristate acetate-stimulated whole cell superoxide production. These results strongly suggest that the cytosolic cofactor is a phagocyte-specific regulatory protein of physiologic importance in NADPH-oxidase activation. 相似文献

The effects of 6-formylpterin on the impaired bactericidal activity of human neutrophils were examined ex vivo. When neutrophils isolated from fresh blood were incubated with 6-formylpterin, the intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) occurred. The H(2)O(2) generation by 6-formylpterin in neutrophils occurred in the presence of diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), an inhibitor of NADPH-oxidase. When neutrophils were incubated with DPI, the killing rate of catalase-positive bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), significantly decreased. This impaired bactericidal activity of the DPI-treated neutrophils was a mimic for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). However, the killing rate of the DPI-treated neutrophils against E. coli and S. aureus significantly increased when 6-formylpterin was administered. Since 6-formylpterin intracellularly generates H(2)O(2) independent from the NADPH-oxidase, it was considered to improve the impaired bactericidal activity of the DPI-treated neutrophils. The use of 6-formylpterin may serve as an option of therapy for CGD. 相似文献

Production of myeloid cell cytosols functionally and immunochemically deficient in the 47 kDa or 67 kDa NADPH oxidase cytosolic factors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Professional phagocytes contain a unique NADPH oxidase responsible for the production of microbicidal oxidants. Activation of this oxidase requires participation of cytosolic and membrane proteins, but the interactions of these components are incompletely understood. Patients with autosomal recessive Chronic Granulomatous Diseases (CGD) are characterized by functional defects in phagocyte oxidase activity resulting from a deficiency of either a 47 kDa (p47) or a 67 kDa (p67) cytosolic oxidase component. Cytosols from such patients are valuable for biochemical studies of the oxidase, but are not generally available because CGD is a rare disorder. The present study illustrates means of producing cytosols functionally and immunochemically deficient in either p47 or p67. Cytosol from monocytes cultured for 6 days is immunochemically deficient in p47 but not p67, while cytosol from HL-60 cells induced with retinoic acid for 3 days is deficient in p67 but not p47. Each of these cytosols fail to generate superoxide when added to neutrophil membranes in a cell-free assay but complement each other when combined. Complementation studies in which these cytosols were mixed in the cell-free assay with p47- or p67- deficient CGD cytosol established the functional characteristics of the experimentally produced cytosols. 相似文献

NADPH-oxidase is an enzyme that represents, when activated, the major source of non-mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. In phagocytes, this production is an indispensable event for the destruction of engulfed pathogens. The functional NADPH-oxidase complex consists of a catalytic membrane flavocytochrome b (Cytb(558)) and four cytosolic proteins p47(phox), p67(phox), Rac and p40(phox). The NADPH-oxidase activity is finely regulated spatially and temporally by cellular signaling events that trigger the translocation of the cytosolic subunits to its membrane partner involving post-translational modifications and activation by second messengers such as arachidonic acid (AA). Arachidonic acid in its natural cis-poly unsaturated form (C20:4) has been described to be an efficient activator of the enzyme in vivo and in vitro. In this work, we examined in a cell-free system whether a change of the natural cis geometry to the trans configuration, which could occur either by diet or be produced by the action of free radicals, may have consequences on the functioning of NADPH-oxidase. We showed the inability of mono-trans AA isomers to activate the NADPH-oxidase complex and demonstrated the inhibitory effect on the cis-AA-induced NADPH oxidase activation. The inhibition is mediated by a direct effect of the mono-trans AA which targets both the membrane fraction containing the cytb(558) and the cytosolic p67(phox). Our results suggest that the loss of the natural geometric feature (cis-AA) induces substantial structural modifications of p67(phox) that prevent its translocation to the complex. 相似文献

Mitochondrial cytochrome c (cyt. c) release and caspase activation are often impaired in tumors with Bcl-2 overexpression or Bax and Bak-defective status. Direct triggering of cell death downstream of Bax and Bak is an attractive strategy to kill such cancers. Small molecule compounds capable of direct caspase activation appear to be the best mode for killing such tumors. However, there is no precise model to screen such compounds. The currently employed cell-free systems possess the inherent drawback of lacking cellular contents and organelles that operate in integrating cell death signaling. We have developed highly refined cell-based approaches to validate direct caspase activation in cancer cells. Using this approach, we show that PAC-1 (first procaspase-activating compound), the first direct activator of procaspases identified in a cell-free system, in fact requires mitochondrial cyt. c release for triggering caspase activation similar to other antitumor agents. It can induce significant caspase activation and cell death in the absence of Bax and Bak, and in cells overexpressing Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. This study for the first time defines precise criteria for the validation of direct caspase-activating compounds using specialized cellular models that is expected to accelerate the discovery of potential direct caspase activators. 相似文献

The phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation of the human neutrophil NADPH-oxidase has been demonstrated through the activation of protein kinase C (PK-C), using light membrane fractions from nitrogen-cavitated cells. Both arachidonic acid (AA) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can also generate an active oxidase in cellfree systems. That the source of O2- with AA and SDS activation is the same NADPH-oxidase as previously studied was confirmed by the similar pH optima and Km values for NADPH as those previously described for the O2- -generating activity harvested from pre-stimulated human neutrophils. In contrast to the stimulation by PMA, however, the stimulation of the NADPH-oxidase by AA and SDS does not appear to require protein kinase C activation: the action of AA and SDS is independent of the addition of PK-C cofactors to the system, and the inhibitor of PK-C activity, H-7, had no effect on the stimulation by AA or SDS. AA and SDS activation are comparable, but the level of NADPH-oxidase expression is sixfold greater with each of these agents than that obtained with a reconstituted PK-C system. The basis of this difference in oxidase expression is unclear, but these findings suggest strongly that although activated PK-C is capable of stimulating a dormant NADPH-oxidase in a cellfree system, this is not the sole pathway for oxidase activation. 相似文献

p40phox as an alternative organizer to p47phox in Nox2 activation: a new mechanism involving an interaction with p22phox 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
p40(phox) activated phagocyte NADPH oxidase without p47(phox) in a cell-free system consisting of p67(phox), Rac and cytochrome b(558) relipidated with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. The activation reached to 70% of that by p47(phox). Addition of p47(phox) slightly increased the activation, but not additively. p40(phox) improved the efficiency of p67(phox) in the activation. The C-terminus-truncated p67(phox), p40(phox)(D289A), p40(phox)(R58A), or p40(phox)(W207R) showed an impaired activation. A peptide corresponding to the p22(phox) Pro-rich region suppressed the activation, and far-western blotting revealed its interaction with p40(phox) SH3 domain. Thus, p40(phox) can substitute for p47(phox) in the activation, interacting with p22(phox) and p67(phox) through their specific regions. 相似文献
