Bacteria phagocytosed by leukocytes are killed and degraded by toxic oxygen metabolites produced in the phagosome via an NADPH oxidase. NADPH oxidase activity is regulated by small GTP-binding proteins in response to phagocytic stimuli. In this review, Gary Bokoch focuses on the role of Rac in regulating this important phagocytic process.
被白细胞吞噬的细菌会被吞噬小体中通过NADPH氧化酶产生的有毒氧代谢产物杀死并降解。NADPH氧化酶活性受小GTP结合蛋白调控,以响应吞噬刺激。在这篇综述中,加里·博科奇重点论述了Rac在调节这一重要吞噬过程中的作用。
