Spontaneous activation of NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system: unexpected multiple effects of magnesium ion concentrations.

ABSTRACT: The role of magnesium ions in the activation of NADPH oxidase has been investigated using flavocytochrome b-245 and either neutrophil cytosol or mixtures of recombinant p40phox, p47phox, p67phox and Rac2. Purified flavocytochrome b-245 is highly active (turnover number 120-150 mol of O2(-)/s per mol of cytochrome haem) in the absence of Mg2+, in marked contrast to neutrophil membranes or detergent-solubilized membranes, which have an absolute requirement for Mg2+ for NADPH oxidase activity. It was also found that Mg2+ affected the anionic amphiphile requirement for oxidase activation, and this was dependent on whether neutrophil cytosol or mixtures of recombinant cytosolic proteins were used in the assay. Unexpectedly we found that, using purified flavocytochrome b-245 and recombinant cytosolic proteins, NADPH oxidase undergoes spontaneous activation in the absence of anionic amphiphiles under Mg2+-free conditions. The results suggest that Mg2+ ions play an important role in NADPH oxidase function, perhaps stabilizing the 260 kDa complex of cytosolic phox proteins or the regulation of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein. We provide evidence that if the latter explanation is correct, the identity of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein is unlikely to be Rap1a.

Deactivation of neutrophil NADPH oxidase by actin-depolymerizing agents in a cell-free system.

Project description:The cell-free activation of human neutrophil NADPH oxidase (O(2)(-)-generating enzyme) is enhanced by actin [Morimatsu, Kawagoshi, Yoshida and Tamura (1997) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 230, 206--210]. In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism, we examined the effect of actin-depolymerizing agents on the duration of NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system. The addition of DNase I, an F-actin-depolymerizing protein, caused an accelerated deactivation of the oxidase. The deactivation was also facilitated by latrunculin A, a sponge toxin that depolymerizes F-actin. Exogenously added actin prevented the deactivation by DNase I or latrunculin A, whereas EDTA accelerated a dilution-induced deactivation of the oxidase and Mg(2+) ions retarded it. The stability in dilution was found to correlate well with free Mg(2+) concentration. Estimation of F-actin in the system showed that F-actin increased during the oxidase activation and that DNase I or EDTA decreased F-actin content in parallel with the activity. Treatment of the cell-free mixture with a chemical cross-linker prevented the deactivation and F-actin decrease by EDTA. Taken together, these results suggest that actin filaments which grow during the activation of NADPH oxidase prolong the lifetime of the oxidase.

NADPH oxidase 4 and its role in the cardiovascular system.

Project description:The heart relies on complex mechanisms that provide adequate myocardial oxygen supply in order to maintain its contractile function. At the cellular level, oxygen undergoes one electron reduction to superoxide through the action of different types of oxidases (e.g. xanthine oxidases, uncoupled nitric oxide synthases, NADPH oxidases or NOX). Locally generated oxygen-derived reactive species (ROS) are involved in various signaling pathways including cardiac adaptation to different types of physiological and pathophysiological stresses (e.g. hypoxia or overload). The specific effects of ROS and their regulation by oxidases are dependent on the amount of ROS generated and their specific subcellular localization. The NOX family of NADPH oxidases is a main source of ROS in the heart. Seven distinct Nox isoforms (NOX1-NOX5 and DUOX1 and 2) have been identified, of which NOX1, 2, 4 and 5 have been characterized in the cardiovascular system. For the purposes of this review, we will focus on the effects of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) in the heart.

Cholesterol: A modulator of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase activity - A cell-free study.

Project description:The NADPH oxidase Nox2, a multi-subunit enzyme complex comprising membrane and cytosolic proteins, catalyzes a very intense production of superoxide ions O2(•-), which are transformed into other reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vitro, it has to be activated by addition of amphiphiles like arachidonic acid (AA). It has been shown that the membrane part of phagocyte NADPH oxidase is present in lipid rafts rich in cholesterol. Cholesterol plays a significant role in the development of cardio-vascular diseases that are always accompanied by oxidative stress. Our aim was to investigate the influence of cholesterol on the activation process of NADPH oxidase. Our results clearly show that, in a cell-free system, cholesterol is not an efficient activator of NADPH oxidase like arachidonic acid (AA), however it triggers a basal low superoxide production at concentrations similar to what found in neutrophile. A higher concentration, if present during the assembly process of the enzyme, has an inhibitory role on the production of O2(•-). Added cholesterol acts on both cytosolic and membrane components, leading to imperfect assembly and decreasing the affinity of cytosolic subunits to the membrane ones. Added to the cytosolic proteins, it retains their conformations but still allows some conformational change induced by AA addition, indispensable to activation of NADPH oxidase.

The Gellyfish: An in situ equilibrium-based sampler for determining multiple free metal ion concentrations in marine ecosystems.

Project description:Free metal ions are usually the most bioavailable and toxic metal species to aquatic organisms, but they are difficult to measure because of their extremely low concentrations in the marine environment. Many of the current methods for determining free metal ions are complicated and time-consuming, and they can only measure 1 metal at a time. The authors developed a new version of the "Gellyfish," an in situ equilibrium-based sampler, with significantly reduced equilibration time and the capability of measuring multiple free metal ions simultaneously. By calibrating the Gellyfish to account for its uptake of cationic metal complexes and validating them in multi-metal competition experiments, the authors were able to determine free metal ion concentrations previously collected over 10 mo at 5 locations in Boston Harbor for Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Cd. This generated 1 of the largest free metal ion datasets and demonstrated the applicability of the Gellyfish as an easy-to-use and inexpensive tool for monitoring free ion concentrations of metal mixtures in marine ecosystems.

Regulation of plant NADPH oxidase.

Project description:The production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is one of the key events occurring during the response of plants to environmental changes, and contributing to establish adaptive signaling pathways. A plasma membrane bound NADPH oxidase enzyme has been evidenced as the ROS producing system in various plant-microorganisms interactions. We very recently reported, that a protein of the 14-3-3 family was able to interact directly with the C-terminus part of this NADPH oxidase, and that modification of its expression in tobacco cells led to reduced amount of ROS production upon elicitation. In this addendum, we summarize this work, present additional results, and propose an hypothetic model of regulation of this oxidase in a plant defense context.

Characterization of NADH oxidase/NADPH polysulfide oxidoreductase and its unexpected participation in oxygen sensitivity in an anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon.

Project description:Many genomes of anaerobic hyperthermophiles encode multiple homologs of NAD(P)H oxidase that are thought to function in response to oxidative stress. We investigated one of the seven NAD(P)H oxidase homologs (TK1481) in the sulfur-reducing hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, focusing on the catalytic properties and roles in oxidative-stress defense and sulfur-dependent energy conservation. The recombinant form of TK1481 exhibited both NAD(P)H oxidase and NAD(P)H:polysulfide oxidoreductase activities. The enzyme also possessed low NAD(P)H peroxidase and NAD(P)H:elemental sulfur oxidoreductase activities under anaerobic conditions. A mutant form of the enzyme, in which the putative redox-active residue Cys43 was replaced by Ala, still showed NADH-dependent flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) reduction activity. Although it also retained successive oxidase and anaerobic peroxidase activities, the ability to reduce polysulfide and sulfur was completely lost, suggesting the specific reactivity of the Cys43 residue for sulfur. To evaluate the physiological function of TK1481, we constructed a gene deletant, ?TK1481, and mutant KUTK1481C43A, into which two base mutations altering Cys43 of TK1481 to Ala were introduced. ?TK1481 exhibited growth properties nearly identical to those of the parent strain, KU216, in sulfur-containing media. Interestingly, in the absence of elemental sulfur, the growth of ?TK1481 was not affected by dissolved oxygen, whereas the growth of KU216 and KUTK1481C43A was significantly impaired. These results indicate that although TK1481 does not play a critical role in either sulfur reduction or the response to oxidative stress, the NAD(P)H oxidase activity of TK1481 unexpectedly participates in the oxygen sensitivity of the hyperthermophilic archaeon T. kodakarensis in the absence of sulfur.

Hemorrhagic shock activates lung endothelial reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase via neutrophil NADPH oxidase.

Project description:The vascular endothelium plays an important role in the regulation of inflammatory responses after trauma and hemorrhage. Interactions of neutrophils with endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to the activation of specific EC responses involved in innate immunity. We have previously reported that oxidants derived from the neutrophil reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase is a critical regulator to EC activation. Our objective was to test the role of neutrophil NADPH oxidase-derived oxidants in mediating and enhancing hemorrhagic shock (HS)-induced activation of lung endothelial NADPH oxidase. Mice were subjected to HS and neutrophil depletion. The mice were also replenished with the neutrophil from NADPH oxidase-deficient mice. The resultant activation of lung NADPH oxidase was analyzed. The in vivo studies were also recapitulated with in vitro neutrophil-EC coculture system. HS induces NADPH oxidase activation in neutrophils and lung through high-mobility group box 1/Toll-like receptor 4-dependent signaling. In neutropenic mice, shock-induced NADPH oxidase activation in the lung was reduced significantly, but was restored upon repletion with neutrophils obtained from wild-type mice subjected to shock, but not with neutrophils from shock mice lacking the gp91(phox) subunit of NADPH oxidase. The findings were recapitulated in mouse lung vascular ECs cocultured with neutrophils. The data further demonstrate that neutrophil-derived oxidants are key factors mediating augmented High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)-induced endothelial NADPH oxidase activation through a Rac1-dependent, but p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent, pathway. Oxidant signaling by neutrophil NADPH oxidase is an important determinant of activation of endothelial NADPH oxidase after HS.

NADPH oxidase(s): new source(s) of reactive oxygen species in the vascular system?

Project description:Reactive oxygen species play an important role in a variety of (patho)physiological vascular processes. Recent publications have produced evidence of a role for putative non-phagocyte NADP oxidase(s) in the vascular production of reactive oxygen species. In the present review, we discuss the detection of the different components of NADP oxidase(s) in the vascular system, together with the putative role of reactive oxygen species produced by vascular NADPH oxidase(s), in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

NADPH Oxidase Deficiency: A Multisystem Approach.

Project description:The immune system is a complex system able to recognize a wide variety of host agents, through different biological processes. For example, controlled changes in the redox state are able to start different pathways in immune cells and are involved in the killing of microbes. The generation and release of ROS in the form of an "oxidative burst" represent the pivotal mechanism by which phagocytic cells are able to destroy pathogens. On the other hand, impaired oxidative balance is also implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory complications, which may affect the function of many body systems. NADPH oxidase (NOX) plays a pivotal role in the production of ROS, and the defect of its different subunits leads to the development of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). The defect of the different NOX subunits in CGD affects different organs. In this context, this review will be focused on the description of the effect of NOX2 deficiency in different body systems. Moreover, we will also focus our attention on the novel insight in the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency and inflammation-related manifestations and on the protective role of NOX2 deficiency against the development of atherosclerosis.
