Abstract

The leukocyte NADPH oxidase is an enzyme in phagocytes and B lymphocytes that when activated catalyzes the production of O-2 from oxygen and NADPH. During oxidase activation, serine residues in the C-terminal quarter of the oxidase component p47(PHOX) become extensively phosphorylated, the protein acquiring as many as 9 phosphate residues. In a study of 11 p47(PHOX) mutants, each containing an alanine instead of a serine at a single potential phosphorylation site, we found that all but S379A corrected the defect in O-2 production in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed p47(PHOX)-deficient B cells (Faust, L. P., El Benna, J., Babior, B. M., and Chanock, S. J. (1995) J. Clin. Invest. 96, 1499-1505). In particular, O-2 production was restored to these cells by the mutants S303A and S304A. Therefore, apart from serine 379, whose state of phosphorylation in the activated oxidase is unclear, no single potential phosphorylation site appeared to be essential for oxidase activation. We now report that the double mutant p47(PHOX) S303A/S304A was almost completely inactive when expressed in EBV-transformed p47(PHOX)-deficient B cells, even though it was expressed in normal amounts in the transfected cells and was able to translocate to th...Continue Reading
