title: Phosphatidic acid-induced translocation of cytosolic components in a cell-free system of NADPH oxidase: mechanism of activation and effect of diacylglycerol.
abstract: The translocation of the cytosolic components p47(phox) and p67(phox) to the plasma membrane and O-2 generation of the NADPH oxidase from human neutrophils can be elicited with phosphatidic acid (PA) in the cell-free system. In the presence of guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPgammaS), the activation of oxidase by PA was concentration-dependent. Diacyglycerol (DG) acted synergistically with PA in both translocation and O-2 production. In addition, the present results suggest that the activation of oxidase by PA is mediated by the induction of conformational alteration in p47(phox). These results indicate that PA may act as a physiological activator of NADPH oxidase.
