NADPH oxidase of chondrocytes contains an isoform of the gp91phox subunit.

چکیده
Previously it has been reported that chondrocytic cells produce oxygen free radicals and express the cytosolic components of NADPH oxidase. Here we report the expression of large subunit of the flavocytochrome of NADPH oxidase in chondrocytes and, further, show that the cDNA sequence contains three single base pair differences compared with the phagocyte gp91phox gene sequence. These base-pair differences may account for the different activity profiles reported between phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells.

Pressure overload-induced myocardial hypertrophy in mice does not require gp91phox.
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may mediate pressure overload-induced myocardial hypertrophy. NADPH oxidase may be involved in this process, because its expression and activity are upregulated by pressure overload and because myocardial hypertrophy caused by a subpressor infusion of angiotensin is attenuated in mice deficient in the gp91phox catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase. METHOD...
متن کاملContrasting roles of NADPH oxidase isoforms in pressure-overload versus angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is implicated in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Phagocyte-type NADPH oxidases are major cardiovascular sources of ROS, and recent data indicate a pivotal role of a gp91phox-containing NADPH oxidase in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced LVH. We investigated the role of this oxidase in pressure-overload LVH. gp91phox-/- mi...
متن کاملA plant homolog of the neutrophil NADPH oxidase gp91phox subunit gene encodes a plasma membrane protein with Ca2+ binding motifs.
Rapid generation of O2- and H2O2, which is reminiscent of the oxidative burst in neutrophils, is a central component of the resistance response of plants to pathogen challenge. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis rbohA (for respiratory burst oxidase homolog A) gene encodes a putative 108-kD protein, with a C-terminal region that shows pronounced similarity to the 69-kD apoprotein of the gp91ph...
متن کاملCloning of murine gp91phox cDNA and functional expression in a human X-linked chronic granulomatous disease cell line.
The phagocyte cytochrome b558, a heterodimer comprised of gp91phox and p22phox, is a flavocytochrome that mediates the transfer of electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen in the respiratory burst oxidase. The human gene encoding the glycosylated gp91phox subunit is the site of mutations in X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was used to...
متن کاملPHAGOCYTES Functional Analysis of NADPH Oxidase in Granulocytic Cells Expressing a D488-497 gp91phox Deletion Mutant
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a group of inherited disorders in which phagocytes are unable to generate superoxide (O2) due to genetic defects in any 1 of 4 essential NADPH oxidase components. Mutations in the X-linked gene for gp91phox, the large subunit of the flavocytochrome b558 heterodimer, account for the majority of CGD. An X-CGD patient in which a splice junction mutation resul...
