چکیده

Evidence was obtained regarding the way the O-2-forming NADPH oxidase of human neutrophils is arranged within the plasma membrane. O-2 production by particles from zymosan-activated human neutrophils rose two- to threefold when the particles were assayed in the presence of appropriate concentrations of Triton X-100. The portion of activity revealed by the detergent was not affected by treating the particles with trypsin or with p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate, a nonpenetrating sulfhydryl reagent, but the activity detectable in the absence of detergent was abolished by these treatments. O-2 production by phagocytic vesicles was not augmented by detergent, and was almost entirely eliminated by tryptic digestion of the vesicles regardless of whether or not detergent was present during the assay. These results suggest that the O-2-forming oxidase is embedded in the plasma membrane with a portion extending into the cytoplasm and the rest buried in the lipid bilayer. It is proposed that the pyridine nucleotide-binding site is located on the cytoplasmic extension and the oxygen binding site is on the intramembranous portion of the enzyme.

Background: Despite major diagnostic and industrial progresses in the technology and use of Ionizing radiations, they have been found to be harmful to the health of the radiology and nuclear medicine staffs. Since Ionizing radiations have the potential to produce free radicals, therefore, it is likely that the total plasma level of anti-oxidant in medical and nuclear medicine staffs could be re...

A Plant Homolog of the Neutrophil NADPH Oxidase gp91 phox Subunit Gene Encodes a Plasma Membrane Protein with Ca 2 1 Binding Motifs

Rapid generation of O 2 2 and H 2 O 2 , 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 th...
