Abstract excerpt
NADPH oxidase is essential in the human innate immune response. p47 (phox), a cytosolic NADPH oxidase component, plays a regulatory role in the activation of NADPH oxidase. Our manipulation of p47 (phox) by mutation and amino acid deletion shows that the linker region between the PX and N-terminal SH3 domain plays a role in blocking the binding of the phosphoinositide 3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2], a lipid second...
