چکیده

Cytochrome b558 of pig blood neutrophils was purified from the membranes of resting cells to examine its ability to reconstitute superoxide (O2-)-forming NADPH oxidase activity in a cell-free assay system containing cytosol and fatty acid. The membrane-associated cytochrome b558 was solubilized with a detergent, n-heptyl beta-thioglucoside, and purified by DEAE-Sepharose, heparin-Sepharose, and Mono Q column chromatography. The final preparation of cytochrome containing 11.5 nmol of protoheme/mg of protein gave bands of the large and small subunits on immunoblotted gel. The cell-free system with the purified cytochrome alone as a membrane component showed little O2(-)-generating activity in the absence of exogenous FAD. However, the system showed high O2(-)-generating activity of 31.8 mol/s/mol of cytochrome b558 (52.5% of the original O2(-)-generating activity of the solubilized membranes) in the presence of a nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reductase fraction that was separated from the cytochrome b fraction by heparin-Sepharose chromatography. Heat treatment of the NBT reductase fraction resulted in loss of the O2(-)-generating activity in the reconstituted system. The O2(-)-forming activity of the reconstituted system was markedly decreased by removal of FAD from the NBT reductase fraction and was restored by readdition of FAD to the FAD-depleted reductase. The reconstituted system containing purified cytochrome b558 plus the NBT reductase showed approximately 100 times higher O2(-)-generating activity than a system containing rabbit liver NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase instead. These results suggest that both the FAD-dependent NBT reductase and cytochrome b558 are required as membrane redox components for O2(-)-forming NADPH oxidase activity. The present data are discussed in comparison with previously reported results on reconstituted systems containing added free FAD.

Reconstitution of cell-free NADPH-oxidase from human monocytes and comparison with neutrophils.

A rapid centrifugal elutriation procedure was developed to prepare high amounts of pure human blood monocytes. After disruption by nitrogen cavitation, a cytosol and a membrane fraction were obtained by sucrose-Percoll density centrifugation. The plasma membrane fraction contained cytochrome b558 and was free of microsomal or mitochondrial cytochromes as determined by low-temperature absorbance...

Activation of the superoxide forming NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Absolute lipid dependence of the solubilized enzyme.

The superoxide (O2-)-forming NADPH oxidase of resting macrophages can be activated in a cell-free system by certain anionic amphiphiles, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). O2- production requires the cooperation of membrane-associated and cytosolic components. The membrane component can be solubilized by octyl glucoside yielding a highly active oxidase preparation. High performance gel filtr...

Mutation at histidine 338 of gp91(phox) depletes FAD and affects expression of cytochrome b558 of the human NADPH oxidase.

Defective NADPH oxidase components prevent superoxide (O-2) generation, causing chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). X-linked CGD patients have mutations in the gene encoding the gp91(phox) subunit of cytochrome b558 and usually lack gp91(phox) protein completely (X91(0)). gp91(phox) is considered to be a flavocytochrome that contains binding sites for NADPH, FAD, as well as heme. We here repor...

Low NADPH oxidase activity in Epstein-Barr-virus-immortalized B-lymphocytes is due to a post-transcriptional block in expression of cytochrome b558.

The NADPH oxidase of phagocytes is known to be expressed in Epstein-Barr-virus-transformed B-lymphocytes, albeit at levels only approx. 5% of those found in neutrophils. We have investigated the basis of this low level of expression and find that all four specific components of the NADPH oxidase are expressed in B-lymphocytes, but only p47-phox protein attains levels equivalent with those found...

Activation of NADPH-dependent superoxide production in plasma membrane extracts of pig neutrophils by phosphatidic acid.

Phosphatidic acid (PA), a molecule that is rapidly produced by the stimulated turnover of phospholipids in a variety of cells including blood neutrophils, elicited NADPH-dependent superoxide anion (O2-) production in detergent extracts from membranes of resting pig neutrophils. The stimulatory effect of PA was independent of cytosolic factors, differing from arachidonic acid and sodium dodecyl ...
