The cytosolic subunit p67phox contains an NADPH-binding site that participates in catalysis by the leukocyte NADPH oxidase.

Abstract

The NADPH-dependent respiratory burst oxidase of human neutrophils catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to superoxide using NADPH as the electron donor and is essential for normal host defenses. To gain insight into the function of the various oxidase subunits that are required for the full expression of catalytic activity, we studied the interactions between the 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of NADPH (NADPH dialdehyde) and neutrophil cytosol. NADPH dialdehyde treatment of cytosol resulted in the loss of the ability of the cytosol to participate in cell-free oxidase activation; this inactivation was blocked by NADPH but not by NAD, NADP, or GTP. Partial purification of neutrophil cytosol yielded a single peak which could restore the activity lost in cytosol treated with NADPH dialdehyde. This peak contained p67phox but not p47phox or Rac2. Purified recombinant p67phox was similarly able to restore the activity lost in NADPH dialdehyde-treated cytosol and bound [32P]NADPH dialdehyde in a specific fashion. The activity of recombinant p67phox in cell-free oxidase assays was lost on treatment with NADPH dialdehyde. Together, these data suggest p67phox contains the catalytic NADPH-binding site of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
