Abstract
Superoxide (O −2 ) is a major component of the oxygen-dependent antimicrobial and cytocidal arsenal of neutrophils 1, 2. The oxidase system that generates this substance is dormant and disassembled in unstimulated cells and consists of both membrane-bound and soluble (“cytosolic factors”) components3, 4. The known membrane-components are a low-potential, heterodimeric b-cytochrome5, 6 and a ras-related GTP-binding protein7. The most thoroughly characterized cytosolic factors are proteins with molecular masses of 47 (p47) and 67kDa8–11. Upon stimulation of neutrophils, there is a translocation of the soluble components to the plasmalemma where the oxidase is assembled12, 13 (Figure 1). This assembly requires the presence of the b-cytochrome12, 14 and is associated with and/or organized by cytoskeletal proteins15. The intact system produces O −2 according to the following stoichiometry:
