Data on structural and functional characteristics of plant NADPH oxidase (Rboh) are generalized. The enzyme homologs identical
to the subunit gp91phox of the enzymatic complex of animal cells were found in plants. The activation of Rboh depends on the influx of Ca2+ into the cytoplasm and phosphorylation of the N-terminal region of the enzyme by Ca2+-dependent protein kinase. The possibility of the involvement of Rop GTPase, a cytosolic component of Rboh, in the activation
of Rboh is discussed. It is postulated that Rboh localizes on the plasma membrane of plant cells. Rboh is activated under
the influence of both biotic and abiotic factors, which is apparently associated with Ca2+ fluxes, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and transduction of information to the nuclear genome. 相似文献

Synergistic activation of the Arabidopsis NADPH oxidase AtrbohD by Ca2+ and phosphorylation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ogasawara Y Kaya H Hiraoka G Yumoto F Kimura S Kadota Y Hishinuma H Senzaki E Yamagoe S Nagata K Nara M Suzuki K Tanokura M Kuchitsu K 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2008,283(14):8885-8892
Plant respiratory burst oxidase homolog (rboh) proteins, which are homologous to the mammalian 91-kDa glycoprotein subunit of the phagocyte oxidase (gp91(phox)) or NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), have been implicated in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) both in stress responses and during development. Unlike mammalian gp91(phox)/NOX2 protein, plant rboh proteins have hydrophilic N-terminal regions containing two EF-hand motifs, suggesting that their activation is dependent on Ca(2+). However, the significance of Ca(2+) binding to the EF-hand motifs on ROS production has been unclear. By employing a heterologous expression system, we showed that ROS production by Arabidopsis thaliana rbohD (AtrbohD) was induced by ionomycin, which is a Ca(2+) ionophore that induces Ca(2+) influx into the cell. This activation required a conformational change in the EF-hand region, as a result of Ca(2+) binding to the EF-hand motifs. We also showed that AtrbohD was directly phosphorylated in vivo, and that this was enhanced by the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A (CA). Moreover, CA itself induced ROS production and dramatically enhanced the ionomycin-induced ROS production of AtrbohD. Our results suggest that Ca(2+) binding and phosphorylation synergistically activate the ROS-producing enzyme activity of AtrbohD. 相似文献

Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate a series of mutants harboring point or multiple substitutions within the hydrophilic, polybasic domain of gp91(phox) encompassed by residues 86-102, which was previously identified as a site of interaction with p47(phox) during phagocyte NADPH oxidase assembly. Recombinant wild-type or mutant gp91(phox) was expressed in a human myeloid leukemia cell line in which the endogenous gp91(phox) gene was disrupted by gene targeting. NADPH oxidase activity was measured in a cytochrome c reduction assay following granulocytic differentiation of cells that expressed recombinant gp91(phox). Expression of a gp91(phox) mutant in which amino acids 89-97 were replaced with nine alternate amino acids abolished NADPH oxidase activity. Expression of gp91(phox) mutants R89T, D95A, D95R, R96A, R96E, or K102T did not significantly affect NADPH oxidase activity. However, mutations of individual or paired arginine residues at positions 91 and 92 had substantial effects on superoxide generation. The R91E/R92E mutation completely abolished both NADPH oxidase activity and membrane-translocation of the cytosolic oxidase proteins p47(phox), p67(phox), Rac1, and Rac2. The phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced rate of superoxide production was reduced by approximately 75% in cells expressing R91T/R92A, R91E, or R92E gp91(phox) along with an increased lag time to the maximal rates of superoxide production relative to cells expressing wild-type gp91(phox). Taken together, these results demonstrate that Arg91 and Arg92 of gp91(phox) are essential for flavocytochrome b558 function in granulocytes and suggest that these residues participate in the interaction of gp91(phox) with the cytosolic oxidase proteins. 相似文献

NADPH oxidases of the Nox family exist in various supergroups of eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes, and play crucial roles in a variety of biological processes, such as host defense, signal transduction, and hormone synthesis. In conjunction with NADPH oxidation, Nox enzymes reduce molecular oxygen to superoxide as a primary product, and this is further converted to various reactive oxygen species. The electron-transferring system in Nox is composed of the C-terminal cytoplasmic region homologous to the prokaryotic (and organelle) enzyme ferredoxin reductase and the N-terminal six transmembrane segments containing two hemes, a structure similar to that of cytochrome b of the mitochondrial bc(1) complex. During the course of eukaryote evolution, Nox enzymes have developed regulatory mechanisms, depending on their functions, by inserting a regulatory domain (or motif) into their own sequences or by obtaining a tightly associated protein as a regulatory subunit. For example, one to four Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand motifs are present at the N-termini in several subfamilies, such as the respiratory burst oxidase homolog (Rboh) subfamily in land plants (the supergroup Plantae), the NoxC subfamily in social amoebae (the Amoebozoa), and the Nox5 and dual oxidase (Duox) subfamilies in animals (the Opisthokonta), whereas an SH3 domain is inserted into the ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase region of two Nox enzymes in Naegleria gruberi, a unicellular organism that belongs to the supergroup Excavata. Members of the Nox1-4 subfamily in animals form a stable heterodimer with the membrane protein p22(phox), which functions as a docking site for the SH3 domain-containing regulatory proteins p47(phox), p67(phox), and p40(phox); the small GTPase Rac binds to p67(phox) (or its homologous protein), which serves as a switch for Nox activation. Similarly, Rac activates the fungal NoxA via binding to the p67(phox)-like protein Nox regulator (NoxR). In plants, on the other hand, this GTPase directly interacts with the N-terminus of Rboh, leading to superoxide production. Here I describe the regulation of Nox-family oxidases on the basis of three-dimensional structures and evolutionary conservation. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidases play critical roles in signalling and development. Given the high toxicity of ROS, their production is tightly regulated. In Arabidopsis, respiratory burst oxidase homologue F (AtrbohF) encodes NADPH oxidase. Here we characterised the activation of AtRbohF using a heterologous expression system. AtRbohF exhibited ROS-producing activity that was synergistically activated by protein phosphorylation and Ca2+. The two EF-hand motifs of AtRbohF in the N-terminal cytosolic region were crucial for its Ca2+-dependent activation. AtrbohD and AtrbohF are involved in stress responses. Although the activation mechanisms for AtRbohD and AtRbohF were similar, AtRbohD had significantly greater ROS-producing activity than AtRbohF, which may reflect their functional diversity, at least in part. We further characterised the interrelationship between Ca2+ and phosphorylation regarding activation and found that protein phosphorylation-induced activation was independent of Ca2+. In contrast, K-252a, a protein kinase inhibitor, inhibited the Ca2+-dependent ROS-producing activity of AtRbohD and AtRbohF in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that protein phosphorylation is a prerequisite for the Ca2+-dependent activation of Rboh. Positive feedback regulation of Ca2+ and ROS through AtRbohC has been proposed to play a critical role in root hair tip growth. Our findings suggest that Rboh phosphorylation is the initial trigger for the plant Ca2+-ROS signalling network. 相似文献

Functional analysis of Nox4 reveals unique characteristics compared to other NADPH oxidases 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important signal transduction molecules in ligand-induced signaling, regulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and motility. Recently NADPH oxidases (Nox) homologous to Nox2 (gp91phox) of phagocyte cytochrome b558 have been identified, which are an enzymatic source for ROS generation in epithelial cells. This study was undertaken to delineate the requirements for ROS generation by Nox4. Nox4, in contrast to other Nox proteins, produces large amounts of hydrogen peroxide constitutively. Known cytosolic oxidase proteins or the GTPase Rac are not required for this activity. Nox4 associates with the protein p22phox on internal membranes, where ROS generation occurs. Knockdown and gene transfection studies confirmed that Nox4 requires p22phox for ROS generation. Mutational analysis revealed structural requirements affecting expression of the p22phox protein and Nox activity. Mechanistic insight into ROS regulation is significant for understanding fundamental cell biology and pathophysiological conditions. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the NADPH oxidases are conventionally thought to be cytotoxic and mutagenic and at high levels induce an oxidative stress response. The phagocyte NADPH oxidase catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of molecular oxygen to generate superoxide O2-., which can dismute to generate ROS species. Together, these ROS participate in host defence by killing or damaging invading microbes. Flavocytochrome b558 is the catalytic core of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase and consists of a large glycoprotein gp91phox or Nox-2 and a small protein p22phox. The other components of the NADPH oxidase are cytosolic proteins, namely p67phox, p47phox, p40phox and Rac. A defect in any of the genes encoding gp91phox, p22phox, p67phox or p47phox results in chronic granulomatous disease, a genetic disorder characterized by severe and recurrent infections. Evidence is rapidly accumulating that low level of ROS were produced by NADPH oxidase homologs in non-phagocytic cells. To date, six human homologs (Nox-1, Nox-3, Nox-4, Nox-5, Duox-1 and Duox-2) have been recently identified in a variety of non-phagocytic cells. The identification of Nox-1 was quickly followed by the cloning of Nox-3, Nox-4, and Nox-5. In parallel, two very large members of the Nox family were discovered, namely Duox-1 and Duox-2, initially also referred to as thyroid oxidases. The physiological functions of Nox-dependent ROS generation are in progress and still require detailed characterization. Activation mechanisms and tissue distribution of the different members of the Nox family are very different, suggesting distinct physiological functions. Nox family enzymes are likely to be involved in a variety of physiological events including cell proliferation, host defence, differentiation, apoptosis, senescence and activation of growth-related signaling pathways. An increase and a decrease in the function of Nox enzymes can contribute to a wide range of pathological processes. 相似文献

Molecular composition and regulation of the Nox family NAD(P)H oxidases 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are conventionally regarded as inevitable deleterious by-products in aerobic metabolism with a few exceptions such as their significant role in host defense. The phagocyte NADPH oxidase, dormant in resting cells, becomes activated during phagocytosis to deliberately produce superoxide, a precursor of other microbicidal ROS, thereby playing a crucial role in killing pathogens. The catalytic center of this oxidase is the membrane-integrated protein gp91(phox), tightly complexed with p22(phox), and its activation requires the association with p47(phox), p67(phox), and the small GTPase Rac, which normally reside in the cytoplasm. Since recent discovery of non-phagocytic gp91(phox)-related enzymes of the NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox) family--seven homologues identified in humans--deliberate ROS production has been increasingly recognized as important components of various cellular events. Here, we describe a current view on the molecular composition and post-translational regulation of Nox-family oxidases in animals. 相似文献

The small GTPase Rac functions as a molecular switch in several important cellular events including cytoskeletal reorganization and activation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, the latter of which leads to production of superoxide, a precursor of microbicidal oxidants. During formation of the active oxidase complex at the membrane, the GTP-bound Rac appears to interact with the N-terminal region of p67(phox), another indispensable activator that translocates from the cytosol upon phagocyte stimulation. Here we show that the p67(phox) N terminus lacks the CRIB motif, a well known Rac target, but contains four tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs with highly alpha-helical structure. Disruption of any of the N-terminal three TPRs, but the last one, results in defective interaction with Rac, while all the four are required for the NADPH oxidase activation. We also find that Arg-102 in the third repeat is likely involved in binding to Rac via an ionic interaction, and that replacement of this residue with Glu completely abrogates the capability of activating the oxidase both in vivo and in vitro. Thus the TPR motifs of p67(phox) are packed to function as a Rac target, thereby playing a crucial role in the active oxidase complex formation. 相似文献

The superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase complex of phagocytes consists of a membranal heterodimeric flavocytochrome (cytochrome b(559)), composed of gp91(phox) and p22(phox) subunits, and four cytosolic proteins, p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox), and the small GTPase Rac (1 or 2). All redox stations involved in electron transport from NADPH to oxygen are located in gp91(phox). NADPH oxidase activation is the consequence of assembly of cytochrome b(559) with cytosolic proteins, a process reproducible in a cell-free system, consisting of phagocyte membranes, and recombinant cytosolic components, activated by an anionic amphiphile. p22(phox) is believed to act as a linker between the cytosolic components and gp91(phox). We applied "peptide walking" to mapping of domains in p22(phox) participating in NADPH oxidase assembly. Ninety one synthetic overlapping pentadecapeptides, spanning the p22(phox) sequence, were tested for the ability to inhibit NADPH oxidase activation in the cell-free system and to bind individual cytosolic NADPH oxidase components. We conclude the following. 1) The p22(phox) subunit of cytochrome b(559) serves as an anchor for both p47(phox) and p67(phox). 2) p47(phox) binds not only to the proline-rich region, located at residues 151-160 in the cytosolic C terminus of p22(phox), but also to a domain (residues 51-63) located on a loop exposed to the cytosol. 3) p67(phox) shares with p47(phox) the ability to bind to the proline-rich region (residues 151-160) and also binds to two additional domains, in the cytosolic loop (residues 81-91) and at the start of the cytosolic tail (residues 111-115). 4) The binding affinity of p67(phox) for p22(phox) peptides is lower than that of p47(phox). 5) Binding of both p47(phox) and p67(phox) to proline-rich p22(phox) peptides occurs in the absence of an anionic amphiphile. A revised membrane topology model of p22(phox) is proposed, the core of which is the presence of a functionally important cytosolic loop (residues 51-91). 相似文献

p67phox is an essential part of the NADPH oxidase, a multiprotein enzyme complex that produces superoxide ions in response to microbial infection. Binding of the small GTPase Rac to p67phox is a key step in the assembly of the active enzyme complex. The structure of Rac.GTP bound to the N-terminal TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) domain of p67phox reveals a novel mode of Rho family/effector interaction and explains the basis of GTPase specificity. Complex formation is largely mediated by an insertion between two TPR motifs, suggesting an unsuspected versatility of TPR domains in target recognition and in their more general role as scaffolds for the assembly of multiprotein complexes. 相似文献

Plant NADPH oxidases (Rboh, for respiratory burst oxidase homolog) produce reactive oxygen species that are key regulators of various cellular events including plant innate immunity. Rbohs possess a highly conserved cytoplasmic N-terminal region containing two EF-hand motifs that regulate Rboh activity. Rice (Oryza sativa) RbohB (OsRbohB) is regulated by the direct binding of a small GTPase (Rac1) to this regulatory region as well as by Ca2+ binding to the EF-hands. Here, we present the atomic structure of the N-terminal region of OsRbohB. The structure reveals that OsRbohB forms a unique dimer stabilized by swapping the EF-hand motifs. We identified two additional EF-hand-like motifs that were not predicted from sequence data so far. These EF-hand-like motifs together with the swapped EF-hands form a structure similar to that found in calcineurin B. We observed conformational changes mediated by Ca2+ binding to only one EF-hand. Structure-based in vitro pulldown assays and NMR titration experiments defined the OsRac1 binding interface within the coiled-coil region created by swapping the EF-hands. In addition, we demonstrate a direct intramolecular interaction between the N and C terminus, and that the complete N-terminal cytoplasmic region is required for this interaction. The structural features and intramolecular interactions characterized here might be common elements shared by Rbohs that contribute to the regulation of reactive oxygen species production. 相似文献

mAb NL7 was raised against purified flavocytochrome b(558), important in host defense and inflammation. NL7 recognized the gp91(phox) flavocytochrome b(558) subunit by immunoblot and bound to permeabilized neutrophils and neutrophil membranes. Epitope mapping by phage display analysis indicated that NL7 binds the (498)EKDVITGLK(506) region of gp91(phox). In a cell-free assay, NL7 inhibited in vitro activation of the NADPH oxidase in a concentration-dependent manner, and had marginal effects on the oxidase substrate Michaelis constant (K(m)). mAb NL7 did not inhibit translocation of p47(phox), p67(phox), or Rac to the plasma membrane, and bound its epitope on gp91(phox) independently of cytosolic factor translocation. However, after assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex, mAb NL7 bound the epitope but did not inhibit the generation of superoxide. Three-dimensional modeling of the C-terminal domain of gp91(phox) on a corn nitrate reductase template suggests close proximity of the NL7 epitope to the proposed NADPH binding site, but significant separation from the proposed p47(phox) binding sites. We conclude that the (498)EKDVITGLK(506) segment resides on the cytosolic surface of gp91(phox) and represents a region important for oxidase function, but not substrate or cytosolic component binding. 相似文献

Targeting of Rac1 to the phagocyte membrane is sufficient for the induction of NADPH oxidase assembly 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The superoxide (O(2))-generating NADPH oxidase complex of phagocytes consists of a membrane-associated flavocytochrome (cytochrome b(559)) and four cytosolic proteins, p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox), and the small GTPase Rac (Rac1 or -2). NADPH oxidase activation (O(2) production) is elicited as the consequence of assembly of some or all cytosolic components with cytochrome b(559). This process can be reproduced in an in vitro system consisting of phagocyte membranes, p47(phox), p67(phox), and Rac, activated by an anionic amphiphile. We now show that post-translationally processed (prenylated) Rac1 initiates NADPH oxidase assembly, expressed in O(2) production, in a cell-free system containing phagocyte membrane vesicles and p67(phox), in the absence of an activating amphiphile and of p47(phox). Prenylated Cdc42Hs, a GTPase closely related to Rac, is inactive under the same conditions. Results obtained with phagocyte membrane vesicles can be reproduced fully by replacing these with partially purified cytochrome b(559), incorporated in phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Prenylated, but not nonprenylated, Rac1 binds spontaneously to phagocyte membrane vesicles and also to artificial, protein-free, phosphatidylcholine vesicles, a process counteracted by GDP dissociation inhibitor for Rho. Binding of prenylated Rac1 to membrane vesicles is accompanied by the recruitment of p67(phox) to the same location and the formation of an assembled NADPH oxidase complex, producing O(2) upon the addition of NADPH. Amphiphile and p47(phox)-independent NADPH oxidase activation by prenylated Rac1 is inhibited by Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor and by phosphatidylcholine vesicles, both competing with membrane for prenylated Rac1. We conclude that, in vitro, targeting of Rac to the phagocyte membrane is sufficient for the induction of NADPH oxidase assembly, suggesting that the principal or, possibly, the only role of Rac is to recruit cytosolic p67(phox) to the membrane environment, to be followed by the interaction of p67(phox) with cytochrome b(559). 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from vascular NADPH oxidase are important in normal and pathological regulation of vessel growth and function. Cell-specific differences in expression and function of the catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase may contribute to differences in vascular cell response to NADPH oxidase activation. We examined the functional expression of gp91phox on NADPH oxidase activity in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and fibroblasts (FB). As measured by dihydroethidium fluorescence in situ, superoxide (O2-*) levels were greater in adventitial cells compared with medial SMC in wild-type aorta. In contrast, there was no difference in O2-* levels between adventitial cells and medial SMC in aorta from gp91phox-deficient (gp91phox KO) mice. Adventitial-derived FB and medial SMC were isolated from the aorta of wild-type and gp91phox KO mice and grown in culture. Consistent with the observations in situ, basal and stimulated ROS levels were reduced in FB isolated from aorta of gp91phox KO compared with FB from wild-type aorta, whereas ROS levels were similar in SMC derived from gp91phox KO and wild-type aorta. There were no differences in expression of superoxide dismutase between gp91phox KO and wild-type FB to account for these observations. Because gp91phox is associated with membranes, we examined NADPH-stimulated O2-. production in membrane-enriched fractions of cell lysate. As measured by chemiluminescence, NADPH oxidase activity was markedly greater in wild-type FB compared with gp91phox KO FB but did not differ among the SMCs. Confirming functional expression of gp91phox in FB, antisense to gp91phox decreased ROS levels in wild-type FB. Finally, deficiency of gp91phox did not alter expression of the gp91phox homolog NOX4 in isolated FB. We conclude that the neutrophil subunit gp91phox contributes to NADPH oxidase function in vascular FB, but not SMC. 相似文献

The catalytic core of a superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase (Nox) in phagocytes is gp91phox/Nox2, a membrane-integrated protein that forms a heterodimer with p22phox to constitute flavocytochrome b558. The cytochrome becomes activated by interacting with the adaptor proteins p47phox and p67phox as well as the small GTPase Rac. Here we describe the cloning of human cDNAs for novel proteins homologous to p47phox and p67phox, designated p41nox and p51nox, respectively; the former is encoded by NOXO1 (Nox organizer 1), and the latter is encoded by NOXA1 (Nox activator 1). The novel homologue p41nox interacts with p22phox via the two tandem SH3 domains, as does p47phox. The protein p51nox as well as p67phox can form a complex with p47phox and with p41nox via the C-terminal SH3 domain and binds to GTP-bound Rac via the N-terminal domain containing four tetratricopeptide repeat motifs. These bindings seem to play important roles, since p47phox and p67phox activate the phagocyte oxidase via the same interactions. Indeed, p41nox and p51nox are capable of replacing the corresponding classical homologue in activation of gp91phox. Nox1, a homologue of gp91phox, also can be activated in cells, when it is coexpressed with p41nox and p51nox, with p41nox and p67phox, or with p47phox and p51nox; in the former two cases, Nox1 is partially activated without any stimulants added, suggesting that p41nox is normally in an active state. Thus, the novel homologues p41nox and p51nox likely function together or in combination with a classical one, thereby activating the two Nox family oxidases. 相似文献

Rotenone, a widely used pesticide, reproduces parkinsonism in rodents and associates with increased risk for Parkinson disease. We previously reported that rotenone increased superoxide production by stimulating the microglial phagocyte NADPH oxidase (PHOX). This study identified a novel mechanism by which rotenone activates PHOX. Ligand-binding assay revealed that rotenone directly bound to membrane gp91(phox), the catalytic subunit of PHOX; such binding was inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium, a PHOX inhibitor with a binding site on gp91(phox). Functional studies showed that both membrane and cytosolic subunits were required for rotenone-induced superoxide production in cell-free systems, intact phagocytes, and COS7 cells transfected with membrane subunits (gp91(phox)/p22(phox)) and cytosolic subunits (p67(phox) and p47(phox)). Rotenone-elicited extracellular superoxide release in p47(phox)-deficient macrophages suggested that rotenone enabled activation of PHOX through a p47(phox)-independent mechanism. Increased membrane translocation of p67(phox), elevated binding of p67(phox) to rotenone-treated membrane fractions, and coimmunoprecipitation of p67(phox) and gp91(phox) in rotenone-treated wild-type and p47(phox)-deficient macrophages indicated that p67(phox) played a critical role in rotenone-induced PHOX activation via its direct interaction with gp91(phox). Rac1, a Rho-like small GTPase, enhanced p67(phox)-gp91(phox) interaction; Rac1 inhibition decreased rotenone-elicited superoxide release. In conclusion, rotenone directly interacted with gp91(phox); such an interaction triggered membrane translocation of p67(phox), leading to PHOX activation and superoxide production. 相似文献

Antagonistic cross-talk between Rac and Cdc42 GTPases regulates generation of reactive oxygen species 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Cross-talk between Rho GTPase family members (Rho, Rac, and Cdc42) plays important roles in modulating and coordinating downstream cellular responses resulting from Rho GTPase signaling. The NADPH oxidase of phagocytes and nonphagocytic cells is a Rac GTPase-regulated system that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the purposes of innate immunity and intracellular signaling. We recently demonstrated that NADPH oxidase activation involves sequential interactions between Rac and the flavocytochrome b(558) and p67(phox) oxidase components to regulate electron transfer from NADPH to molecular oxygen. Here we identify an antagonistic interaction between Rac and the closely related GTPase Cdc42 at the level of flavocytochrome b(558) that regulates the formation of ROS. Cdc42 is unable to stimulate ROS formation by NADPH oxidase, but Cdc42, like Rac1 and Rac2, was able to specifically bind to flavocytochrome b(558) in vitro. Cdc42 acted as a competitive inhibitor of Rac1- and Rac2-mediated ROS formation in a recombinant cell-free oxidase system. Inhibition was dependent on the Cdc42 insert domain but not the Switch I region. Transient expression of Cdc42Q61L inhibited ROS formation induced by constitutively active Rac1 in an NADPH oxidase-expressing Cos7 cell line. Inhibition of Cdc42 activity by transduction of the Cdc42-binding domain of Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome protein into human neutrophils resulted in an enhanced fMetLeuPhe-induced oxidative response, consistent with inhibitory cross-talk between Rac and Cdc42 in activated neutrophils. We propose here a novel antagonism between Rac and Cdc42 GTPases at the level of the Nox proteins that modulates the generation of ROS used for host defense, cell signaling, and transformation. 相似文献

The heterodimeric flavocytochrome b558, comprised of the two integral membrane proteins p22phox and gp91phox, mediates the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase to generate the superoxide precursor of microbicidal oxidants. This study uses deletion mutagenesis to identify regions of p22phox required for maturation of gp91phox and for NADPH oxidase activity. N-terminal, C-terminal, or internal deletions of human p22phox were generated and expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells with transgenes for gp91phox and two other NADPH oxidase subunits, p47phox, and p67phox. The results demonstrate that p22phox-dependent maturation of gp91phox carbohydrate, cell surface expression of gp91phox, and the enzymatic function of flavocytochrome b558 are closely correlated. Whereas the 5 N-terminal and 25 C-terminal amino acids are dispensable for these functions, the N-terminal 11 amino acids of p22phox are required, as is a hydrophilic region between amino acids 65 and 90. Upon deletion of 54 residues at the C terminus of p22phox (amino acids 142-195), maturation and cell surface expression of gp91phox was still preserved, although NADPH oxidase activity was absent, as expected, due to removal of a proline-rich domain between amino acids 151-160 that is required for recruitment of p47phox. Antibody binding studies indicate that the extreme N terminus of p22phox is inaccessible in the absence of cell permeabilization, supporting a model in which both the N- and C-terminal domains of p22phox extend into the cytoplasm, anchored by two membrane-embedded regions. 相似文献
