Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), characterized by defective microbial killing by phagocytic cells, is caused by defects or deficiencies in any one of four oxidase components: Nox2, p22phox, p47phox, or p67phox (Leto, 1999
). An essential role for Rac1 or Rac2 in Nox2 activation was also identified in cell-free reconstitution studies (Abo et al., 1991
; Knaus et al., 1991
). This role was later confirmed in an oxidase-deficient patient who expressed mutant Rac2 (Ambruso et al., 2000
; Williams et al., 2000
) and in mice rendered genetically deficient in Rac2 (Roberts et al., 1999
; Gu et al., 2003
). Rac and p67phox together have a direct roles in regulating electron flow through the flavocytochrome b558 through GTP-dependent interactions; hence, p67phox is called an "activator" component (Bokoch and Diebold, 2002
). Alternatively, p47phox is called an "adaptor" or "organizer" component because it binds to membrane lipids [phosphatidylinositol-(3,4)-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] and phosphatidic acid (PA)] through its phox (PX) domain (Kanai et al., 2001
; Karathanassis et al., 2002
), is tethered to the flavocytochrome b558 through direct interactions between p22phox and its Src homology (SH) 3 domain, and is linked to other cytoplasmic phox proteins to this complex (Leto et al., 1994
; Sumimoto et al., 1994
). CGD patients who lack p47phox show impaired translocation of p67phox to the particulate or membrane fraction, whereas CGD patients who lack p67phox show normal translocation of p47phox to the particulate fraction, indicating the adaptor function of p47phox in recruitment of p67phox to the membrane (Heyworth et al., 1991
; Dusi et al., 1996
; Allen et al., 1999
). However, Nox2 activity can be reconstituted in vitro in the absence of p47phox, when p67phox and Rac1 are provided in excess (Freeman and Lambeth, 1996
; Koshkin et al., 1996
) or when p67phox is adapted with the membrane-binding sequences from Rac1, although GTP-bound Rac is still required for oxidase activation (Gorzalczany et al., 2000
; Alloul et al., 2001
), indicating p67phox and Rac1 are minimum essential cytoplasmic components in the Nox2 system. p40phox also has a PX domain that specifically binds to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P] (Bravo et al., 2001
; Kanai et al., 2001
), a phospholipid enriched in the early endosome (Gillooly et al., 2000
) and produced in the phagosomal membrane during phagocytosis (Ellson et al., 2001a
; Gillooly et al., 2001
). Thus, p40phox is also thought to serve as an adaptor component that recruits p67phox to phagosomal membranes (Kuribayashi et al., 2002
). There are, however, no reports of p40phox defects or deficiencies resulting in CGD. There is some controversy on the precise function of p40phox, because both Nox2-inhibitory (Sathyamoorthy et al., 1997
; Vergnaud et al., 2000
; Lopes et al., 2004
) and Nox2-supporting effects of p40phox (Tsunawaki et al., 1996
; Cross, 2000
; Ellson et al., 2001b
; Kuribayashi et al., 2002
; He et al., 2004
) have been reported. However, recent studies in p40phox-deficient mice or in Fc
IIA receptor-reconstituted cells indicate p40phox is an essential component of the Nox2 system (Ellson et al., 2006
; Suh et al., 2006
).
Arachidonic acid (AA) has been used frequently as a activator of Nox2 in cell-free assay systems (Bromberg and Pick, 1984
; Curnutte, 1985
). Although relatively high concentrations of AA (50200 µM) are required for activation of Nox2 both in vitro and in vivo, functional roles for cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), which produces AA, in Nox2 activation have been demonstrated at the cellular level (Dana et al., 1998
; Zhao et al., 2002
; Shmelzer et al., 2003
). Furthermore, recent studies have shown that the orchestration of low concentrations of AA produced by PLA2 together with protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation promotes translocation of p47phox and enhances ROS production by Nox2 (Shiose and Sumimoto, 2000
; Peng et al., 2003
).
In recent work, we described mechanisms for translocation of p47phox (Ueyama et al., 2004
) and isoform-specific translocation of Rac to the phagosome (Ueyama et al., 2005
). To understand and clarify targeting of p67phox, an essential cytoplasmic Nox2 activator that acts through Rac, we used AA as a stimulant and explored the adaptor functions of p40phox and p47phox in recruitment of p67phox to membranes. In the present study, we show that p67phox is not targeted to the membrane by itself but that it relies on diverse targeting and adaptor functions of p40phox and p47phox for its translocation to membranes. Furthermore, we examine the mechanism by which p40phox acquires its function as a p67phox "adaptor protein." We propose here that an intramolecular interaction between the PX and the PB1 domains of p40phox in the resting state renders p40phox inaccessible to bind PI(3)P and that upon stimulation the intramolecular interaction can be disrupted, enabling p40phox to bind to PI(3)P-enriched membranes.

Cell Culture
RAW 264.7 macrophages (Ueyama et al., 2005
) and COS-7 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) were maintained in DMEM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen) and antibiotics (100 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin) at 37°C in 5% CO2.
Construction of Plasmids
The pEGFP-C1 plasmids (Clontech) containing human p47phox, p47phox (W193R), p40phox, p40phox(PX; aa 1-167), p40phox(PX:R105K), and p47phox(R90K) were described previously (Ago et al., 2001
, 2003
; Ueyama et al., 2004
). cDNA encoding p67phox and p67phox(
SH3, aa 1-457) were described previously (de Mendez et al., 1994
; Ueyama et al., 2004
), transferred into pEGFP-C1, and designated GFP-p67phox and GFP-p67phox(
SH3), respectively. The fragment encoding p67phox(
AD, deletion of aa 199-212) was made by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by using appropriate primers, transferred into pEGFP-C1, and designated GFP-p67phox(
AD). The fragments encoding p47phox, p47phox(
PR; aa 1-359), and p40phox were amplified by PCR, cloned into pIRES2-DsRed2, and designated p47phox-IRES2-DsRed2, p47phox(
PR)-IRES2-DsRed2, and p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2, respectively. The fragments encoding p47phox and GFP-p67phox(
AD) were amplified by PCR, cloned into BglII and EcoRI sites of multiple cloning site of pIRES2-DsRed2 and BstXI and XbaI sites of pIRES2-DsRed2 in place of DsRed2, respectively, and designated p47phox-IRES2-GFP-p67phox(
AD). GFP-p40phox(R105K), GFP-p67phox(
AD:K355A), and p40phox (D289A)-IRES2-DsRed2 were made using the QuikChange II XL site-directed mutagenesis kit protocol (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA). We confirmed that GFP-p47phox and GFP-p67phox support Nox2 activity at levels comparable with unfused, wild-type p47phox, and p67phox (data not shown).
To study the intramolecular binding of p40phox, the DNA fragments encoding p40phox(aa 1-229), p40phox(aa 1-261), p40phox(aa 1-284), p40phox(aa 1-306), p40phox(aa 1-317), and p40phox(aa 1-328) were amplified by PCR, cloned into pEGFP-C1, and designated GFP-p40phox(1-229), GFP-p40phox(1-261), GFP-p40phox(1-284), GFP-p40phox(1-306), GFP-p40phox(1-317), and GFP-p40phox(1-328), respectively (Figure 9A). The DNA fragment encoding p40phox(
318-328; deletion of aa 318-328) was amplified by PCR by using GFP-p40phox(1-328) as a template with appropriate primers, cloned into pEGFP-C1, and designated GFP-p40phox(
318-328). p40phox(318-328:11A) in pEGFP-C1, in which residues 318-328 are replaced by 11 alanine residues, was made using GFP-p40phox as a template by the QuikChange II XL site-directed mutagenesis kit. All modified expression vectors were sequenced to confirm their identities.
Immunoprecipitation and Immunoblotting
COS-7 cells were transfected using electroporation methods (Shirai et al., 1998
). Forty-eight hours after the transfection, cells were lysed in homogenizing buffer in the presence of protease inhibitors (Ueyama et al., 2001
) by sonication. The total cell lysates were centrifuged at 20,000 x g for 30 min at 4°C, the supernatants were incubated with the Ab (
-p47phox,
-p67phox or
-p40phox,
-GFP) or control IgG (goat or rabbit; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) for 2 h at 4°C and then with protein G-Sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare) for an additional 12 h at 4°C. The precipitates were washed three times, and the aliquots of precipitates were subjected to SDS-PAGE and followed by immunoblotting using primary Ab for
-p47phox,
-p67phox,
-p40phox, or
-GFP (1/2000, room temperature [RT] for 2 h). Bound antibodies were detected with secondary antibody-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugates (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) by using the ECL detection system (GE Healthcare).
Cell Imaging Studies
Fluorescently labeled (Alexa-568) and IgG-opsonized phagocytosis targets (BIgG) were prepared using 2-µm glass beads (Duke Scientific, Fremont, CA), as described previously (Larsen et al., 2002
). In total, 1.0 x 105 RAW 264.7 cells were seeded on 35-mm glass bottom dishes (MatTek chambers; MatTek, Ashland, MA) and transfected using Superfect (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA). Twenty-four to 32 h after the transfection, the culture medium was replaced with Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS)++ (Larsen et al., 2002
). As a stimulant, HBSS++ containing BIgG (five targets per cell) or HBSS++ containing AA (indicated final concentrations) was added to each plate. Images were collected using an LSM 510 invert (Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscope with a heated stage and objective (40x oil or 63x oil) as described previously (Ueyama et al., 2004
). The images were collected at 5 s intervals for 5 min.
For immunocytochemical studies, cells (transfected or untransfected) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (Ueyama et al., 2001
). After permeabilization, cells were stained using primary Ab (p40phox, diluted 1/500; EEA-1, diluted 1/250) for 2 h at RT. Primary Abs were visualized by confocal microscopy using Alexa-488 or -594conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1/2000, 0.5 h at RT; Invitrogen).
All time-lapsed imaging experiments were performed in triplicate and were repeated in at least three independent transfection experiments (n
9). All imaging experiments were very reproducible (
80%), except for the experiment of GFP-p40phox stimulated with BIgG (
10%; Figure 2A and Supplemental Video 1).
In Vitro Binding Assay
The cDNA for the PCR-amplified PX domain of p40phox(aa 1-167) was cloned into BamHI and EcoRI sites of pProEx-Htb (Invitrogen) and designated (His)6-p40phox(PX). Forward and reverse oligonucleotides for p40phox(aa 307-317), p40phox(aa 318-328), and p40phox(aa 329-339) were annealed and cloned into the BamHI and EcoRI sites of pGEX-6P-1 and designated GST-p40phox(307-317), GST-p40phox(318-328), and GST-p40phox(329-339), respectively. PCR-amplified fragments of p40phox(SH3 domain; aa 170-229) and p40phox(PB1 domain; aa 237-339) were cloned into the BamHI and EcoRI sites of pGEX-6P-1 and designated GST-p40phox(SH3) and GST-p40phox(237-339), respectively. All constructs were sequenced to confirm their identities. Tagged proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL (Stratagene). When the bacteria reached an OD600 of
0.2, protein expression was induced by 0.1 mM isopropyl
-D-thiogalactoside at 21°C for 16 h and purified using nickel-Agarose [Invitrogen; in the case of (His)6-p40phox(PX), the tagged protein was solubilized in 50 mM 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate] or glutathione-Sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare). The purified (His)6-p40phox(PX) (500 nM) was mixed with each purified GST-tagged fragment of p40phox (500 nM) in 500 µl of buffer (25 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, and 2% fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin, pH 7.5). Glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads were added to the solution, rotated for 30 min at 4°C, and then washed three times with the same buffer. The material absorbed to beads was eluted with 10 mM glutathione, and the elutants were separated on a 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Western blotting was performed using primary (His)6 Ab and secondary Ab-HRP conjugates, and detected by the ECL detection system.

R-mediated Phagocytosis

R-mediated phagocytosis (et al., 2004
R-mediated phagocytosis, the accumulation of GFP-p40phox on newly forming phagosomes occurs as a kiss and run phenomenon, in which a transient fusion of GFP-p40phox is observed between phagosomes and endosomes without showing much evidence of complete intermixing of their membranes (Duclos et al., 2000
10%), but it occurred only occasionally when followed by time-lapsed photography (Figure 2A and Supplemental Video 1). We then used GFP-p40phox(PX) for further studies, because it was reported to bind specifically to PI(3)P. Consistent with a previous report (Ellson et al., 2001a
R-mediated phagocytosis, after the phagosome is sealed (Figure 2B and Supplemental Video 2). The fusion of early endosomes, as detected by GFP fluorescence, resembles the same kiss and run pattern (transient interaction); however, the GFP-p40phox(PX) fluorescence seems to reflect significant amounts membrane material fusing with the phagosomes (Supplemental Video 2). This accumulation of GFP-p40phox(PX) on the phagosome persists longer on phagosomes (>100 s) than observed with GFP-p47phox, which starts accumulating before phagosome sealing (on phagosomal cups) and is observed on phagosomal cups and retained on phagosomes for 67 ± 7 s (Ueyama et al., 2004
R-mediated phagocytosis, perhaps reflecting low levels of expression of the endogenous phox proteins (data not shown). However, GFP-p67phox accumulated at phagosomal cups and phagosomes after coexpression with p47phox (data not shown). The differences in localization patterns between GFP fusion proteins of full-length p40phox and its isolated PX domain suggest that the PX domain of p40phox is masked or is otherwise maintained in a state that is relatively inaccessible to early endosomes or PI(3)P-enriched phagosomes. The differences in localization between p40phox and p47phox fusions proteins suggest that the two proteins are targeted to phagosomes by distinctly different signals.

Function of PX Domains of p40phox and p47phox for Their Translocation
We then explored the translocation mechanisms of p40phox and p47phox by examining the effects of mutating their PX domains. GFP-p40phox(PX:R105K), which loses its capacity to bind PI(3)P (Ago et al., 2001
), shows no vesicular localization pattern, nor does it translocate to early endosomes after AA stimulation (Figure 4A). GFP-p40phox(R105K) also shows no translocation to the early endosome after AA stimulation (Figure 4B). These observations indicate that translocation of p40phox to early endosomes requires binding of the PX domain to PI(3)P.
|
Targeting of p67phox to Early Endosomes or to the Plasma Membrane by Coexpressed Carrier Proteins, p40phox or p47phox
To clarify the function of p40phox as a potential membrane "adaptor protein" for p67phox, we expressed GFP-p67phox and p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2, which identifies transfected cells expressing wild-type p40phox by DsRed2 fluorescence. When GFP-p67phox and p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2 are cotransfected into RAW 264.7 cells, we cannot easily detect cells coexpressing these products. We speculate that overexpression of p67phox and p40phox may be too toxic to cells due to the enhanced production of ROS. Therefore, further studies were performed using p67phox(
AD), which cannot support ROS production (Han et al., 1998
). In RAW 264.7 cells coexpressing GFP-p67phox(
AD) and p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2, GFP-p67phox(
AD) translocates to vesicular structures (Figure 5A, top). However, in cells coexpressing p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2 and GFP-p67phox(
AD:K355A), which does not bind p40phox (Kuribayashi et al., 2002
), GFP-p67phox(
AD:K355A) does not translocate to the vesicular structures (Figure 5A, bottom). This result is further confirmed by complementary experiments using GFP-p67phox(
AD) and p40phox(D289A)-IRES2-DsRed2, which does not interact with p67phox (Kuribayashi et al., 2002
). In cells coexpressing GFP-p67phox (
AD) and p40phox(D289A)-IRES2-DsRed2, GFP-p67phox(
AD) shows no translocation to the vesicular structure (data not shown). The interaction between p40phox and GFP-p67phox(
AD), but not GFP-p67phox(
AD:K355A), is confirmed by immunoprecipitation experiments (Figure 5B).

SH3), which disrupts the interaction with p47phox (de Mendez et al., 1994
SH3) translocation to the plasma membrane is seen (Figure 6A, bottom). This result was further confirmed by complementary experiment using GFP-p67phox and p47phox(
PR)-IRES2-DsRed2, which also disrupts the interaction with p67phox (Kami et al., 2002
PR)-IRES2-DsRed2, GFP-p67phox shows no the translocation to the plasma membrane (data not shown). The interaction between p47phox and GFP-p67phox, but not GFP-p47phox(
SH3), is confirmed in immunoprecipitation experiments (Figure 6B). These data indicate that both p40phox and p47phox can function as adaptors of p67phox to translocate p67phox to the early endosome and to the plasma membrane, respectively.

AD) and p40phox-IRES2-DsRed2, which identifies transfected cells expressing wild-type p47phox and GFP-p67phox(
AD) by GFP fluorescence and wild-type p40phox by DsRed2 fluorescence. In the RAW 264.7 cells coexpressing GFP-p67phox(
AD), p47phox, and p40phox, GFP-p67phox(
AD) translocates both to the plasma membrane and to vesicular structures after AA stimulation (Figure 8A and Supplemental Video 3). Expression of all three phox proteins by the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) plasmids is confirmed by Western blotting by using COS-7 cells (Figure 8B).
|
Then, we examined other regions within p40phox that might interact with its own PX domain, by using serially deleted mutants of GFP-p40phox expressed in RAW 264.7 cells. Among the various C-terminal deletions of GFP-p40phox, GFP-p40phox(1-328) loses the punctate localization on early endosomes, as seen with full-length GFP-p40phox (Figure 9B). GFP-p40phox(
318-328) and GFP-p40phox(318-328:11A) are localized at vesicular structures in the cytoplasm (Figure 9, C and D). The cytoplasmic localization of wild-type p40phox is confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence of COS-7 cells transfected with wild-type p40phox (Figure 9E). To examine further, we used in vitro pull-down assays between purified (His)6-p40phox(PX) and various forms of purified GST-tagged proteins. We could not detect interactions between (His)6-p40phox(PX) and GST-p40phox (307-317), GST-p40phox(318-328), GST-p40phox(329-339), or GST alone; however, (His)6-p40phox(PX) interacts strongly with GST-p40phox(PB1:237-339) (Figure 10).These results suggested that the PB1 domain of p40phox masks the PX domain of p40phox, making this domain inaccessible to bind to early endosomes in the absence of AA stimulation (Figure 11).

R-mediated phagocytosis (Ueyama et al., 2004
R-mediated phagocytosis: 1) p40phox can bind initially to PI(3)P-enriched early endosomes, followed by their fusion to phagosomes, and/or 2) p40phox can target directly to phagosomes, where PI(3)P is transiently produced during phagosytosis (Ellson et al., 2001a
R-mediated respiratory burst (Figure 11): 1) in early stages, before phagosome sealing, p47phox functions as the predominant carrier, mediating translocation of the ternary complex to newly forming phagosomes, 2) in later stages after phagosome sealing, the carrier or adaptor function of p47phox is replaced by p40phox, whereby the ternary complex interacts with sealed phagosome through PI(3)P specific-binding of the PX domain of p40phox. In this series of interactions, both PKC and AA derived from PLA2 likely orchestrate conformational changes in p40phox and p47phox that promote their assembly with Nox2 complexes. This model is consistent with recent studies showing that p40phox contributes significantly to phagosomal superoxide production in mouse neutrophils or in Fc
IIA receptor and phox-reconstituted COS-7 cells (Ellson et al., 2006
Several lines of evidence suggest AA has important roles in activation of the Nox2 system, although the mechanism of its action is still debated. Many reports emphasize the effects of AA on p47phox. Early studies showed AA or other anionic amphiphiles activate ROS production in cell-free assays of Nox2 activity (Bromberg and Pick, 1984
; Curnutte, 1985
). It is thought that AA induces conformational changes in p47phox that may mimic the effects of phosphorylation, resulting in exposure of its binding PX and SH3 domains and translocation of p47phox and p67phox (Shiose and Sumimoto, 2000
). It was reported that PLA2 is required for translocation of phox proteins without their phosphorylation (Uhlinger et al., 1993
; Zhao et al., 2002
). Others suggested both AA produced by PLA2- and PKC-dependent phosphorylation together promote translocation of p47phox and enhance ROS production by Nox2 (Sellmayer et al., 1996
; Shiose and Sumimoto, 2000
; Peng et al., 2003
). We confirmed AA can trigger membrane translocation of p47phox, through interactions involving its PX domain and SH3 domain and that this enables cotranslocation of p67phox (Figures 4 and 6). Other reports suggest exogenous AA has indirect effects on Nox2 activation through downstream AA-derived mediators (Liu et al., 2003
; Kerkhoff et al., 2005
; Kim and Dinauer, 2006
). Direct involvement of cPLA2 in human Nox2 activation (neutrophils, PLB-985 cells, or monocytes) has been demonstrated using inhibitors or antisense molecules targeted to cPLA2 (Dana et al., 1994
; Li and Cathcart, 1997
; Dana et al., 1998
; Zhao et al., 2002
). However, macrophages or neutrophils from cPLA2-deficient mice exhibited normal stimulated ROS release (Gijon et al., 2000
; Rubin et al., 2005
), suggesting the murine systems are less dependent on AA. Surprisingly, human cPLA2-deficient cells show normal translocation of phox proteins (Dana et al., 1994
; Dana et al., 1998
; Shmelzer et al., 2003
), suggesting cPLA2 serves other roles in oxidase activation during Nox2 assembly. Interestingly, both cPLA2 and secretory PLA2 accumulate on newly formed phagosomes (Shmelzer et al., 2003
; Girotti et al., 2004
; Balestrieri et al., 2006
). Furthermore, cells lacking Nox2 show no translocation of cPLA2 to membranes, and it seems that human cPLA2 associates directly with the cytoplasmic phox proteins and the membrane-bound Nox2 complex after stimulation by several agonists that activate the oxidase (Shmelzer et al., 2003
).
We have now shown that AA triggers the movement of p40phox to PI(3)P-enriched membranes independently of other cytoplasmic phox proteins and that this can enable cotranslocation of p67phox. Although high concentrations of AA (200 µM) were used to observe this phenomenon, 50100 µM AA also induced translocation (data not shown). Based on our experience, high concentrations of agonists (including AA) are usually required to visualize translocation of GFP-tagged molecules (Shirai et al., 1998
). It is difficult to estimate the concentrations of AA achieved in whole cells, although high local concentrations of AA may be reached on phagosomes when PLA2 is recruited during phagocytosis. AA-dependent translocation of p40phox to early endosomes occurs with either N- or C-terminally GFP-tagged p40phox, suggesting the fusions do not influence this process. We propose that this translocation involves AA-induced conformational changes in p40phox that disrupt intramolecular interactions and expose its PX domain to bind membrane lipids, as was suggested in p47phox (Shiose and Sumimoto, 2000
). However, in this case we mapped the intramolecular contacts of the p40phox PX domain to its C-terminal PB1 domain.
It is known that p40phox and p67phox associate through homotypic interactions between their PB1 domains (Ito et al., 2001
; Kuribayashi et al., 2002
; Wilson et al., 2003
). The region of p40phox involved was reported as the PC motif (residues 287-302) (Nakamura et al., 1998
; Ito et al., 2001
), now referred as the OPR-PC-AID (OPCA) motif (Ponting et al., 2002
). Later, Wilson et al. (2003)
showed that Thr337 and Pro339 in the region C-terminal region also participate in the heterodimerization. The importance of this interaction with p67phox was demonstrated with the p40phox(D289A) mutant, which, unlike wild-type p40phox, is unable to stimulate Nox2 activity in PMA or muscarinic receptor-stimulated cells (Kuribayashi et al., 2002
). This mutation not only interferes with p40phox membrane translocation but also leads to decreased p67phox and p47phox translocation stimulated by PMA. In contrast, in our AA-stimulated model, wild-type or mutant (D289A) GFP-p40phox translocates to early endosomes, even in the absence of p67phox (Figure 3; data not shown). However, we show that a mutation of the PB1 domain in p67phox(K355A) inhibits its cotranslocation with p40phox in AA-stimulated cells (Figure 5). This is the first report proposing an autoinhibitory intramolecular interaction within p40phox between its PX domain and its PB1 domain, because deleting residues 318-328 or replacing this sequence with alanine residues resulted in localization of GFP-p40phox on early endosomes without AA stimulation (Figure 9). Furthermore, we observed the interaction between (His)6-p40phox(PX) and the GST-p40phox(PB1:237-339) (Figure 10B). Crystallographic studies indicate that residues 318-328, encompassing the
-5 strand, do not participate in heterodimerization of p40phox and p67phox (Wilson et al., 2003
). However, we could not determine which part of the PB1 domain participates in the PXPB1 interaction of p40phox, because
-5 is part of a
-sheet core structure and deletion or changes of residues 318-328 to alanines could affect the global folding of the PB1 domain of p40phox. It is interesting that sites of phosphorylation in p40phox (Thr154 and Ser315) lie close to the PX domain and residues 318-328 (Bouin et al., 1998
). Phosphorylation of Thr154, but not Ser315, was proposed as a negative regulator of ROS production by Nox2 (Lopes et al., 2004
). However, we could not observed significant differences in the subcellular localization between GFP-p40phox and its phosphorylation site mutants [GFP-p40phox(T154A), GFP-p40phox(T154D), GFP-p40phox(S315A), or GFP-p40phox(S315D)], suggesting phosphorylation does not disrupt intramolecular interactions within GFP-p40phox, as seen with AA stimulation. Further studies are needed to clarify whether phosphorylation of p40phox can affect interactions with its PX or PB1 domain or the dynamics of its assembly with the oxidase on phagosomes.
