Activation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex requires the assembly of the cytosolic factors p47(PHOX), p67(PHOX), p40(PHOX), and Rac1 or Rac2, with the membrane-bound cytochrome b(558). Whereas the interaction of p47(PHOX) with cytochrome b(558) is well established, an interaction between p67(PHOX) and cytochrome b(558) has never been investigated. We report here a direct interaction between p67(PHOX) and cytochrome b(558). First, labeled p67(PHOX) recognizes a 91-kDa band in specific granules from a normal patient but not from a cytochrome b(558)-deficient patient. Second, p67(PHOX) binds to cytochrome b(558) that has been bound to nitrocellulose. Third, GTP-p67(PHOX) bound to glutathione agarose is able to pull down cytochrome b(558.) Rac1-GTP or Rac1-GDP increased the binding of p67(PHOX) to cytochrome b(558), suggesting that at least one of the oxidase-related functions of Rac1 is to promote the interaction between p67(PHOX) and cytochrome b(558).
吞噬细胞NADPH氧化酶复合物的激活需要胞质因子p47(PHOX)、p67(PHOX)、p40(PHOX)和Rac1或Rac2与膜结合的细胞色素b(558)组装在一起。虽然p47(PHOX)与细胞色素b(558)之间的相互作用已得到充分证实,但p67(PHOX)与细胞色素b(558)之间的相互作用从未被研究过。我们在此报告p67(PHOX)与细胞色素b(558)之间存在直接相互作用。首先,标记的p67(PHOX)能识别正常患者特异性颗粒中的一条91 kDa条带,但不能识别细胞色素b(558)缺陷患者的该条带。其次,p67(PHOX)与已结合到硝酸纤维素上的细胞色素b(558)结合。第三,结合到谷胱甘肽琼脂糖上的GTP-p67(PHOX)能够拉下细胞色素b(558)。Rac1-GTP或Rac1-GDP增加了p67(PHOX)与细胞色素b(558)的结合,这表明Rac1的至少一种氧化酶相关功能是促进p67(PHOX)与细胞色素b(558)之间的相互作用。
