Abstract excerpt
Activation of the superoxide-producing phagocyte NADPH oxidase, crucial in host defense, requires the cytosolic proteins p67(phox) and p47(phox). They translocate to the membrane upon cell stimulation and activate flavocytochrome b(558), the membrane-integrated catalytic core of this enzyme system. The activators p67(phox) and p47(phox) form a ternary complex together with p40(phox), an adaptor protein with...
