Abstract
Recent extensive studies have clarified the functions of the small G protein superfamily, which consists of the Ras, Rho, Rab, Arf, Sar1, and Ran families (for reviews, Refs, 1 and 2). The Ras family regulates gene expression at least through the MAP kinase cascade; the Rho family mainly regulates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton; the Rab, Arf, and Sar1 families regulate intracellular vesicle trafficking; and the Ran family regulates nuclear transport. Of these cellular functions, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, seen in the formation of filopodia, lamellipodia, and ruffles during cell motility, dynamically occurs at specific sites of cells. To regulate this type of dynamic cellular functions, temporal and spatial determination mechanisms of signal transduction would be important. Like other G proteins, small G proteins cycle between the GDP-bound inactive and GTP-bound active forms (1,2). They receive upstream signals through their regulators and transduce signals to downstream targets while they stay in the GTP-bound form. Thus, G proteins serve as timers. There are at least three types of regulators for small G proteins: GDP/GTP exchange protein (GEP) which stimulates conversion from the GDP-bound form to the GTP-bound form; GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) which inhibits this reaction; and GTPase activating protein (GAP) which stimulates conversion from the GTP-bound form to the GDP-bound form. Of these regulators, GDI has thus far been found for the Rho and Rab families. We have recently found that the Rho family-Rho GDI system plays an important role in spatial determination in the actin cytoskeletal control (3-6). We briefly describe here this function of the Rho family-Rho GDI system.

Abstract
The Rho small G protein family, consisting of the Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 subfamilies, regulates various cell functions, such as cell shape change, cell motility, and cytokinesis, through reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. We show here that the Rac and Rho subfamilies furthermore regulate cell-cell adhesion. We prepared MDCK cell lines stably expressing each of dominant active mutants of RhoA (sMDCK-RhoDA), Rac1 (sMDCK-RacDA), and Cdc42 (sMDCK-Cdc42DA) and dominant negative mutants of Rac1 (sMDCK-RacDN) and Cdc42 (sMDCK-Cdc42DN) and analyzed cell adhesion in these cell lines. The actin filaments at the cell-cell adhesion sites markedly increased in sMDCK-RacDA cells, whereas they apparently decreased in sMDCK-RacDN cells, compared with those in wild-type MDCK cells. Both E-cadherin and beta-catenin, adherens junctional proteins, at the cell-cell adhesion sites also increased in sMDCK-RacDA cells, whereas both of them decreased in sMDCK-RacDN cells. The detergent solubility assay indicated that the amount of detergent-insoluble E-cadherin increased in sMDCK-RacDA cells, whereas it slightly decreased in sMDCK-RacDN cells, compared with that in wild-type MDCK cells. In sMDCK-RhoDA, -Cdc42DA, and -Cdc42DN cells, neither of these proteins at the cell-cell adhesion sites was apparently affected. ZO-1, a tight junctional protein, was not apparently affected in any of the transformant cell lines. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that sMDCK-RacDA cells tightly made contact with each other throughout the lateral membranes, whereas wild-type MDCK and sMDCK-RacDN cells tightly and linearly made contact at the apical area of the lateral membranes. These results suggest that the Rac subfamily regulates the formation of the cadherin-based cell- cell adhesion. Microinjection of C3 into wild-type MDCK cells inhibited the formation of both the cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion and the tight junction, but microinjection of C3 into sMDCK-RacDA cells showed little effect on the localization of the actin filaments and E-cadherin at the cell-cell adhesion sites. These results suggest that the Rho subfamily is necessary for the formation of both the cadherin-based cell- cell adhesion and the tight junction, but not essential for the Rac subfamily-regulated, cadherin-based cell- cell adhesion.

Abstract
NIH 3T3 fibroblasts stably transformed with a constitutively active isoform of p21(Ras), H-RasV12 (v-H-Ras or EJ-Ras), produced large amounts of the reactive oxygen species superoxide (.O2-). .O2- production was suppressed by the expression of dominant negative isoforms of Ras or Rac1, as well as by treatment with a farnesyltransferase inhibitor or with diphenylene iodonium, a flavoprotein inhibitor. The mitogenic activity of cells expressing H-RasV12 was inhibited by treatment with the chemical antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity was decreased and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was not activated in H-RasV12-transformed cells. Thus, H-RasV12-induced transformation can lead to the production of .O2- through one or more pathways involving a flavoprotein and Rac1. The implication of a reactive oxygen species, probably .O2-, as a mediator of Ras-induced cell cycle progression independent of MAPK and JNK suggests a possible mechanism for the effects of antioxidants against Ras-induced cellular transformation.

Abstract
The superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase consists of membrane-associated cytochrome b558 and cytosolic components, p47-phox and p67-phox. Recently, we have found a novel cytosolic component, p40-phox, which is tightly associated with p67-phox. In this study, we examined the translocation of p40-phox during activation of NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system using the membrane and the purified p47-phox/p67-phox/p40-phox complex. p40-phox was translocated to the membrane by arachidonic acid in a dose-dependent manner. The translocation pattern of p40-phox was similar to those of p47-phox and p67-phox. However, immunoprecipitation assay revealed that p40-phox was dissociated from p47-phox and p67-phox during activation. The translocation of three cytosolic components was not affected by the deletion of GTP-gamma-s from the reaction mixture. Interestingly, a synthetic peptide corresponding to carboxyl-terminus of p40-phox inhibited the activation of NADPH oxidase and translocation of p40-phox, p47-phox, and p67-phox, suggesting that p40-phox might play a role in the activation of NADPH oxidase. These observations suggest that p40-phox is dissociated from p67-phox during activation, and translocates to the membrane by GTP-gamma-s-independent mechanism.

Abstract
The human NADPH oxidase is a very intriguing enzyme; although its catalytic unit is retained within cytochrome b558, various additional proteins are required for activity of the NADPH oxidase. In the past few years substantial progress has been made to elucidate the protein-protein interactions and the activation events involved. The following facts have become evident: (1) activation of rac and subsequent interaction with p67-phox is crucial for the interaction of p67-phox with cytochrome b558, and probably with gp91-phox; (2) p47-phox interacts with p22-phox, and phosphorylation of 379Ser of p47-phox is obligatory for this event; (3) p47-phox and p67-phox regulate each other's translocation in a positive sense (see also reference 71). To put it differently: it is vital to gain insight in the intrigues within the phox family and associated characters to fully understand NADPH oxidase activation.

Abstract
The phagocyte NADPH oxidase is activated during phagocytosis to produce superoxide, a precursor of microbicidal oxidants. The activation involves assembly of membrane-integrated cytochrome b558 comprising gp91(phox) and p22(phox), two specialized cytosolic proteins (p47(phox) and p67(phox)), each containing two Src homology 3 (SH3) domains, and the small G protein Rac. In the present study, we show that the N-terminal SH3 domain of p47(phox) binds to the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of p22(phox) with high affinity (KD = 0.34 microM). The binding is specific to this domain among several SH3 domains including the C-terminal one of p47(phox) and the two of p67(phox) and requires the Pro156-containing proline-rich sequence but not other putative SH3 domain-binding sites of p22(phox). Replacement of Trp193 by Arg in the N-terminal SH3 domain completely abrogates the association with p22(phox). A mutant p47(phox) with this substitution is incapable of supporting superoxide production under cell-free activation conditions. These findings provide direct evidence that the interaction between the N-terminal SH3 domain of p47(phox) and the proline-rich region of p22(phox) is essential for activation of the NADPH oxidase.

Abstract
The possible mechanism of activation of the NADPH oxidase by fluoride was investigated in the cell-free system. It is shown that the stimulatory effect of fluoride is inhibited by guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) (GDP[S]) and potentiated by GTP. The effect of fluoride is not additive with GTP[S]. Fluoride activation requires the presence of Mg2+ in millimolar concentration but is independent of Al3+. The activating effect of fluoride is preserved in solubilized membrane extract after removal of the majority of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins by immunoadsorption. Fluoride has no direct action either on the nucleotide exchange of GTP hydrolysis of the isolated Rac protein. In contrast, fluoride effectively inhibits Rac-GTPase activity enhanced by a membrane component. In this way, fluoride could prolong the prevalence of Rac in the GTP-bound state and, as a consequence, activate NADPH oxidase. The possibility of the involvement of a membrane-bound Rac GTPase-activating protein activity in the physiological regulation of the enzyme is raised.

Abstract
The influence of anticancer agents on signal transduction for reactive oxygen generation was examined in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacyl glycerol levels in formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-stimulated PMN were decreased by cis-diammine-dichloroplatinum (CDDP), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 137Cs, and peplomycin (PLM, a bleomycin analog) in this order. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) level and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in the membrane after phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation were decreased by 5-FU and CDDP but not by 137Cs and, in contrast, were increased by PLM. The level of [Ca2+]i was decreased by 8 h treatment with 5-FU and CDDP. 5-FU and CDDP inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of 83-kDa and 115-kDa proteins, however 137Cs did not inhibit their phosphorylation and PLM enhanced the tyrosine phosphorylation. Short term (< or = 4 h) treatment with PLM, 5-FU and CDDP enhanced respiratory burst of PMN, whereas long term (8 h) treatment, as well as radiation, suppressed reactive oxygen generation from PMN in a dose dependent manner. Genistein suppressed chemiluminescence in 5-FU-, CDDP-, and 137Cs-pretreated PMN to a greater extent than it did in PLM-pretreated PMN, however near suppression of chemiluminescence by staurosporine, 4-bromophenyl bromide and methionine was observed in PMN pretreated with these agents. In conclusion, these results indicate that long term treatment of PMN with 5-FU and CDDP inhibit respiratory burst, suppressing intracellular calcium mobilization, PKC translocation and tyrosine kinase activation, in adverse, short term treatment with PLM enhances PKC translocation and tyrosine kinase activation, but inhibits myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and radiation causes weak inhibition of signal transduction for respiratory burst.

Abstract
Phagocytic cells possess an electron-transport system which accepts electrons from NADPH in the cytosol to reduce oxygen to the superoxide radical in the vacuolar lumen. The superoxide is instrumental in killing ingested microorganisms. Patients suffering from chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), in which this system is failing, are abnormally susceptible to infectious diseases. Studying CGD patients' neutrophils has been enormously helpful in identifying the components of the superoxide-generating system, known as the NADPH oxidase. This review will describe the components of the electron-transport chain involved in the oxidase and the factors needed for its regulation.

Abstract
Production of microbicidal oxidants by phagocytic leukocytes requires activation of a latent NADPH oxidase by the coordinated assembly of a membrane-associated flavocytochrome b558, with three cytosolic components, p47phox, p67phox, and the low molecular weight GTP-binding protein Rac. Rac1 and Rac2 have 92% sequence identity and are both active in supporting the oxidase, while CDC42Hs, the closest relative to Rac with 70% sequence identity, only weakly supports oxidase activation in vitro. We have used CDC42Hs as a foil to identify residues in Rac that are critical for oxidase activation. Most of the divergent sequences of CDC42Hs could be incorporated into Rac-CDC42Hs chimeric proteins without affecting cell-free NADPH oxidase activity. However, incorporation of the amino-terminal segment of CDC42Hs (residues 1-40), which differs from Rac1 by only four residues (positions 3, 27, 30, and 33), resulted in a marked loss of oxidase activation capacity. Point mutagenesis studies showed that this was due to changes at residues 27 and 30, but not residues 3 and 33. Conversely, incorporation of the amino terminus of Rac1 (residues 1-40) into CDC42Hs increased its activity to that of Rac1, indicating that this terminus contains the effector-specifying domain of Rac. Taken together, these studies show that the difference in the activity between CDC42Hs and Rac1 is due entirely to differences in amino acids at position 27 and 30.

Abstract
We found that okadaic acid (OA), a potent tumor promoter and a phosphatase inhibitor, has a unique opposing effect on opsonized zymosan (Op.-zym.)-elicited O2.- production by differentiated HL-60 cells in a narrow range of concentrations but does not induce any O2.- production by itself. Okadaic acid magnified the O2.- production 2.5-fold at 1.0 microM, while it inhibited it at 2.0 microM or higher concentrations. This effect of OA did not correspond to the changes in the expression of surface receptors (CD11b/CD18, CR3) for Op.-zym., because they were weakly down-regulated by OA at any concentration. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that in the absence of OA, Op.-zym. induced rapid dephosphorylation of a cytosolic 21K protein with a very slight increase in phosphorylation of membranous p47phox, which is one of the cytosolic factors required for respiratory burst. In the presence of a stimulatory concentration (1.0 microM) of OA, the Op.-zym.-caused dephosphorylation of the 21K protein was still observed and the phosphorylation of p47phox was enhanced. In the presence of an inhibitory concentration (2.0 or 5.0 microM) of OA, the Op.-zym.-induced dephosphorylation of the 21K protein was strongly inhibited while p47phox was heavily phosphorylated. Acid hydrolysis of the 21K phosphoprotein yielded only phosphoserine as a phosphoamino acid. Furthermore, at least part of the 21K protein seemed to be associated with p67phox and p47phox, because it was co-immunoprecipitated with those cytosolic factors. These results suggest that a cytosolic 21K protein plays an important role in respiratory burst through dephosphorylation by a phosphoserine phosphatase, and that the dephosphorylated 21K protein may work synergistically with the phosphorylated p47phox on the pathway for activation of the respiratory burst oxidase.

Abstract
Activation of the membrane-associated NADPH oxidase of neutrophils requires several cytosolic factors including p47phox, p67phox and p21rac2. We compared NADPH oxidase activity with the membrane translocation of p47phox, p67phox, and p21rac2. In a cell-free system, GTP gamma S stimulated translocation of p47phox and p67phox to the plasma membrane only in the presence of arachidonate, and this translocation correlated with NADPH oxidase activity of the reisolated plasma membranes (R = 0.94 and 0.97, respectively). In contrast, GTP gamma S-stimulated p21rac2 translocation with or without arachidonate, and the extent of translocation did not correlate with oxidase activity (R = 0.17). Neutrophil cytoplasts were used to relate membrane translocation of p47phox, p67phox and p21rac2 to membrane oxidase activity in response to the inflammatory agonists. Whereas N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine stimulated equimolar, transient membrane translocation of p47phox and p67phox which kinetically paralleled NADPH oxidase activity, relatively little p21rac2 translocated (moles of p47phox/p21rac2 = 16.6). Moreover, although phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulated both the stable translocation of p47phox and p67phox and sustained NADPH oxidase activity, it did not stimulate p21rac2 translocation. From these data we conclude that membrane translocation of p21rac2 does not regulate NADPH oxidase activity stoichiometrically.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase complex catalyzes the formation of superoxide (O2.-) in phagocytic leukocytes. This paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of this enzyme system. Recent studies have defined conditions for reconstitution of this enzymatic activity with purified proteins in a cell-free system. The role of the individual proteins that make up the active complex, their regulation and the effects of mutations in these proteins are discussed. While these studies represent major achievements, it is clear from cytochemical investigations that additional levels of complexity exist in the modulation of the NADPH oxidase complex in vivo. A major role for cytochemical analysis in understanding the cell biological aspects of the generation of reactive oxygen species is discussed.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activation by guanine nucleotides requires protein cofactors in both the plasma membrane and the cytosol. HL-60 cytosol was fractionated by ammonium sulfate and gel-permeation chromatography. Two cytosolic protein fractions were found to reconstitute the GTP gamma S (guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate)-stimulated PLD in a reconstitution assay consisting of 3H-labeled HL-60 membranes and eluted column fractions. The major peak of reconstituting activity was in the region of 50 kDa, and a second discrete peak of PLD reconstitution activity was observed in the region of 18 kDa. Rho GDP/GTP exchange inhibitor, Rho GDI, comigrated with Rac2 and RhoA, but not Rac1. RhoA and Rac2 were entirely complexed with Rho GDI and eluted with an apparent molecular mass of 43 kDa by gel filtration chromatography. The partial overlap between cytosolic Rac2 and RhoA with the 50-kDa peak of reconstituting activity was not consistent with the participation of cytosolic Rho-related GTPases in the activation of PLD by guanine nucleotides. However, recombinant Rho GDI, which inhibits nucleotide exchange on the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins, reduced GTP gamma S-stimulated PLD activity in HL-60 homogenates. The stimulatory exchange factor, Smg GDS, which is active on Rho and Rac, could be partially separated from the PLD-stimulating factor(s) by gel-permeation chromatography. Moreover, recombinant Smg GDS failed to stimulate GTP-dependent PLD activity. Cytosolic ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) was exclusively located in the 18-kDa peak of reconstitution activity. Faint amounts of membrane-bound ARF were also detected using the monoclonal antibody 1D9. The effects of the 50-kDa and 18-kDa PLD-inducing factors on the salt-extracted PLD activity were synergistic. The weak stimulatory effect of ARF alone suggested that the GTP gamma S-stimulated PLD activity is dependent on the presence of another protein(s), presumably ARF-regulatory proteins. We propose that a membrane-bound GTP-binding protein, possibly ARF, may be involved in the activation of PLD when combined with the component(s) of the 50-kDa fraction.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase of phagocytic cells is a multimeric enzyme complex activated during phagocytosis. It catalyzes the production of the superoxide anion, precursor of many toxic oxygen metabolites involved in the defense against microorganisms. The enzyme becomes active after assembly on a membrane bound flavocytochrome b of cytosolic factors p47 phox, p67 phox and p40 phox and of low molecular mass GTP binding proteins. This paper reviews recent results concerning the role of two small G proteins, Rac and Rap 1A in oxidase activation. Native prenylated small G proteins are either in the form of a complex in which the GDP bound G protein is associated with a guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor, GDI, or in an active GTP bound form able to trigger the activity of its effector. Rac and Rho share a common GDI. As chemotaxis, under Rho control, and oxidase activation, under Rac control, show mutually exclusive signalling pathways, we propose a model where the GDI would switch from one pathway to the other by sequestering either Rac or Rho.

Abstract
Superoxide is produced by a NADPH oxidase of phagocytic cells and contributes to their microbicidal activities. The oxidase is activated when receptors in the neutrophil plasma membrane bind to the target microbe. These receptors recognise antibodies and complement fragments which coat the target cell. The oxidase electron transport chain, located in the plasma membrane, comprises a low potential cytochrome b heterodimer (gp 91-phox and p22-phox) associated with FAD. It is non-functional until at least three proteins, p67-phox, p47-phox and p21rac (and possibly others), move from the cytosol to dock on the cytochrome b. The docking involves the interaction of SH3 domains on p47-phox or p67-phox with a proline-rich sequence on the small subunit of the cytochrome b. These SH3 domains may become exposed following phosphorylation of p47-phox by protein kinase C or, in model systems, by addition of arachidonic acid to reconstitution mixtures. Following the docking process the electron-transporting component is able to transfer electrons from NADPH to oxygen. This electrogenic event is charge-compensated by the opening of a proton channel. Components of the oxidase are expressed in non-phagocytes, where their function is uncertain but could be related to some signal function of superoxide.

Abstract
The neutrophil NADPH oxidase activation factors, p47, p67 and the small guanosine-nucleotide-binding regulatory (G) protein Rac1, were expressed in a baculovirus/insect cell system and purified. In coinfection experiments in which Sf9 cells overexpressed concomitantly p47, p67 and Rac1, the latter was not detected in the p47-p67 complex. The propensity of p47 and p67 to associate together was used to purify recombinant p67 from baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells. 20% of the overexpressed Rac1 in infected Sf9 cells was prenylated and was extracted with low doses of detergent from membranes. Elicitation of full oxidase activity on crude neutrophil membranes using a cell-free system required addition of recombinant p47 and p67, but not that of Rac. In contrast, in the case of KCl-washed membranes, addition of Rac, prenylated or unprocessed, together with p47 and p67 was found to enhance oxidase activation up to fivefold. In all experiments, the amount of added arachidonic acid was optimized. In contrast to prenylated Rac, non-prenylated Rac had to be loaded with guanosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[S]) to exhibit full activation efficiency. In the cell-free system used, Rac was shown to be the mediator of the GTP[S] effect. The results suggest that the plasma membrane of resting neutrophils contains a sufficient amount of prenylated Rac for efficient oxidase activation. We therefore propose that Rac has a membrane-associated role and helps to dock and position p47 and p67 on the flavocytochrome b component of the oxidase complex.

Abstract
Rho and Rac, two members of the Ras superfamily of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins, regulate a variety of signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. Upon stimulation of phagocytic cells, Rac enhances the activity of the enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced) (NADPH) oxidase, resulting in the production of superoxide radicals. Activation of the NADPH oxidase requires the assembly of a multimolecular complex at the plasma membrane consisting of two integral membrane proteins, gp91phox and p21phox, and two cytosolic proteins, p67phox and p47phox. Rac1 interacted directly with p67phox in a GTP-dependent manner. Modified forms of Rac with mutations in the effector site did not stimulate oxidase activity or bind to p67phox. Thus, p67phox appears to be the Rac effector protein in the NADPH oxidase complex.

Abstract
Recent progress in our understanding of the regulation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase by the Rac GTP-binding protein(s) has provided the first detailed glimpse into the mechanisms of leukocyte regulation by a small GTP-binding protein. Studies over the past year have indicated that the activity of the NADPH oxidase can be modulated by regulation of the GTP/GDP state of Rac. Proteins exist in leukocytes that are able to modify GTP-binding protein function in this manner, and their activity may be regulated by signals generated upon phagocyte stimulation.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease is a serious clinical entity. The disease is caused by the failure of NADPH oxidase in phagocytic leukocytes to generate superoxide, needed for the killing of micro-organisms. The patients need careful management aimed at prevention and aggressive treatment of infections. CGD is a heterogeneous syndrome, both clinically and genetically. This disease is caused by a diversity of mutations, and multiple genes are affected. In fact, in the A22 and X91 subtypes of CGD, in which the alpha subunit and the beta subunit of cytochrome b558 are affected, respectively, the mutations are virtually unique for each CGD family tested. The results of these studies provide a better understanding of the mechanism of action of the various components of the superoxide-generating enzyme. Although treatment of CGD patients has improved considerably over the past 30 years, death caused by overwhelming infections is still a serious threat. Prenatal diagnosis now provides the relatives of a CGD patient with the possibility to choose for first-trimester abortion of an affected fetus. Moreover, genetic correction of the disease is now a goal within reach.

Abstract
Previous studies from this laboratory described the kinetic characteristics of the inhibition by tosylphenylalanine chloromethane (TosPheCH2Cl) on superoxide anion production by human neutrophils (PMN) stimulated with a phorbol ester (PMA). In this study we present further evidence concerning the potential role of the chloromethane target in the normal cellular activation of NADPH oxidase. When PMN are treated with TosPheCH2Cl and subsequently PMA, or with the two reagents in the reverse order, the inhibition of superoxide production by the intact cells is still present in a particulate NADPH oxidase fraction prepared from these cells. Nevertheless, when cells incubated only with the chloromethane and not with PMA are disrupted, both their cytosolic and membrane fractions are fully competent in the cell-free activation assay. Thus, the chloromethane target has a role in NADPH oxidase activation exclusively at the cellular level. This observation constitutes additional evidence in favour of the idea that activation in the cell-free system reflects only partially the events which occur in the cells. When cells are activated with PMA, their cytosol displays a loss of activating capacity in the cell-free activation assay in the presence of arachidonate, as was shown before with SDS as activator [Ambruso, D. R., Bolsher, B. G. J. M., Stockman, P. M., Verhoeven, A. J. & Roos, D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 924-930]. This phenomenon was shown to arise most probably from the translocation of cytosolic factors to the membrane, resulting in a depleted cytosol. When superoxide production was inhibited by cell treatment with TosPheCH2Cl, either before or after activation with PMA, the cytosol from inhibited cells showed a recovery of activation capacity in the cell-free system. This effect probably results from TosPheCH2Cl inhibiting the translocation of the cytosolic factors when added before PMA. This results in an insufficient activation at the membrane level, which was previously considered as an inhibition. The effect of TosPheCH2Cl, when added after PMA, can best be explained again as an inhibition of translocation in the frame of the continuous replenishment-deactivation hypothesis proposed by Akard et al. [Akard, L. P., English, D. & Gabig, T. G. (1988) Blood 72, 322-327]. Thus, TosPheCH2Cl is apparently a promising new tool for studying the activation of NADPH oxidase at the cellular level.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The NADPH-dependent superoxide generating system of human PMNs is a complex, multicomponent system. Studies over the past two decades have identified some of the various components both in the membrane and in the cytosol. The cytosolic factors p47 phox and p67 phox are clearly essential components of the oxidase, as evidenced by their absence producing autosomal CGD. Despite this, the specific function of each of these factors in the assembled oxidase remains unknown. In the case of p47 phox, determinants for translocation are multifactorial, depending in part on phosphorylation and in part on the participation of a functional domain at p47 phox(323-332). The importance of SH3 regions and proline-rich domains in intramolecular interactions and associations with the membrane skeleton remain to be defined. In addition, factors which modulate the assembly of this oxidase are largely unknown and their elucidation may provide insights into novel means by which to modify the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Activation of the superoxide (O2-)-generating NADPH oxidase of phagocytes requires the interaction of membrane-associated cytochrome b559 with three cytosolic components; p47-phox, p67-phox and sigma 1. We proposed that sigma 1 was a heterodimer composed of proteins of 22 kDa and 24 kDa that were tentatively identified as the small GTP-binding protein (G protein) rac1 p21 and GDP-dissociation inhibitor for rho (rho GDI). We now describe a modified procedure for the rapid purification of sigma 1 and demonstrate that the NADPH-oxidase-activating capacity is associated, throughout the purification sequence, with a protein binding 35S-labelled guanosine 5'-[3-O-thio]triphosphate. SDS/PAGE analysis confirmed the absolute association of sigma 1 activity with the presence of both the 22 kDa and 24 kDa proteins. Immunoblotting with a battery of antibodies against the small G proteins demonstrated that the 22-kDa protein was only recognized by antibodies reacting with rac1 p21; no reaction was found with anti-(rac2 p21), anti-[v-ras(H) p21] and anti anti-(rap1 p21). Free rac1 p21 (not in complex with rho GDI) was not detected at any stage of cytosol fractionation. The proteins comprising the sigma 1 heterodimer could be separated by reverse-phase chromatography and amino acid sequencing was performed on peptides derived by trypsin digestion of each of the isolated proteins. This demonstrated the identity of the 22-kDa protein with rac1 p21 and that of the 24-kDa protein with rho GDI. Purified heterodimeric sigma 1 did not require exogenous GTP for activity under conditions that assured the absence of free nucleotides. Treatment of the sigma 1 heterodimer with 1% sodium cholate, followed by gel filtration or anion-exchange chromatography in the presence of 1% sodium cholate, effectively separated rac1 p21 from rho GDI. Monomeric rac1 p21, obtained by these procedures, was able to stimulate cell-free O2- generation. Artificial heterodimeric sigma 1, capable of NADPH oxidase activation, could be reconstituted in vitro by recombining purified monomeric rac1 p21 and rho GDI and removing the sodium cholate used to dissociate the native sigma 1 dimer. Monomeric rac1 p21 exhibited an almost absolute dependence on exogenous GTP following removal of the endogenous nucleotide in low Mg2+ solution. Under similar conditions, heterodimeric sigma 1 was resistant to nucleotide exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The GTPase activity of membranes isolated from differentiated HL-60 cells was investigated to obtain information about the possible involvement of membrane-bound GTP-binding proteins in the regulation of the NADPH oxidase. A more than tenfold increase in the rate of hydrolysis of membrane-bound GTP was observed when cytosol and arachidonic acid were added simultaneously, i.e. under the same conditions where NADPH oxidase becomes activated. There were parallel changes in GTPase and NADPH oxidase activities when the concentration of arachidonic acid or the species of the fatty acid was varied or different detergents were applied. Separation of the GTP-binding proteins of the solubilized membrane by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, allowed us to ascribe the observed effect to the stimulation of the GTPase activity of small GTP-binding proteins by cytosolic component(s). Indirect evidence suggests that, in contrast to the effect upon recombinant ras and ras-GTPase-activating protein, in intact HL-60 membranes the interaction of rap1A with rap-GTPase-activating protein, is strongly enhanced by arachidonic acid.

Northern blot analysis revealed that this gene is expressed only in lymphoid cell lines and a histiocytic leukemia, U937. Hence, it should have a specialized function in cells derived from the hematopoietic stem cell.

Abstract
We characterized the cell-free activating system of the superoxide (O2-)-producing NADPH oxidase of pig neutrophils. Activation of the oxidase required both the membrane and cytosolic fractions in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Chromatography on 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose resulted in separation of the cytosolic fraction into two fractions, the flow-through and bound fractions, which synergistically supported the O2- production with the membrane fraction in the absence of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), whereas only the bound fraction besides the membrane fraction was required for the activation in the presence of GTP gamma S. The effective factors in the bound fraction were further purified by gel filtration on Superdex G-200 and anion exchange chromatography on Mono Q and found to be p47-phox and p63-phox. The purified recombinant p47-phox and p65-phox replaced corresponding native factors for the activation. These results suggest that the membrane fraction from pig neutrophils contains the GTP-binding protein responsible for the activation. Furthermore, the presence of the GTP-binding protein for the activation in the flow-through fraction from 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose was also shown on the basis of the findings that extensive dialysis of the flow-through fraction resulted in complete loss of the ability to activate the oxidase with the recombinant factors and the washed membrane of human neutrophils which contained no GTP-binding protein for the activation and the lost ability was recovered by the addition of GTP gamma S. Thus, activation of the oxidase in the cell-free system of pig neutrophils absolutely requires the GTP-binding protein which localizes in the membrane fraction or in the cytosolic fraction.

Abstract
We studied a signaling pathway for the activation of the superoxide (O2-)-generating NADPH oxidase and effects of cAMP on the pathway using electropermeabilized human neutrophils. The permeabilized cells produced O2- by the addition of protein kinase C (PKC) activator, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), and a non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue, GTP gamma S in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. The O2- production by PMA not by GTP gamma S was inhibited by inhibitors of PKC. The production by PMA and GTP gamma S was inhibited by a GDP analogue, GDP beta S, in the same dose-dependent manner and the production by PMA was not enhanced by the addition of GTP gamma S and vice versa. These findings suggest the presence of a GTP-binding protein which follows PKC in the activation pathway. The O2- production by PMA and GTP gamma S was dose-dependently inhibited by cAMP and the inhibition was completely restored by an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, H-89, indicating that cAMP blocks the activating pathway at the site between the GTP-binding protein located downstream of PKC and the NADPH oxidase by activating cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The activation of the oxidase by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) seemed to be different from the above pathway. It needed higher concentrations of GDP beta S for inhibition, did not absolutely need ATP and was inhibited by neither cAMP nor protein kinase C inhibitors. Moreover, the O2- production by the combination of GTP gamma S and SDS or of PMA and SDS was essentially the same as the sum of the production by each stimulant alone. We may conclude from the observations that the signaling pathway involving PKC for the activation of the oxidase is distinct from the pathway induced by SDS: the former is blocked by cAMP at the site between the GTP-binding protein located downstream of PKC and the oxidase and the latter is cAMP-insensitive.
