Activation of the O2.- generating oxidase in neutrophils can be achieved with a cell-free oxidase-activating system, which consists of a high speed supernatant (cytosol), a particulate fraction enriched in plasma membrane, GTP-gamma-S, arachidonic acid and Mg ions. Cytosolic proteins from bovine neutrophils were fractionated by chromatography on Mono Q and Mono S columns into two fractions, neither of which was able to activate efficiently the membrane-bound oxidase. However, when combined and added to the cell-free system under optimized conditions, they acted synergistically, activating the oxidase to virtually the same extent as crude cytosol. This synergism demonstrates that more than one cytosolic factor is required for oxidase activation, and can be used to trace the cytosolic factors during the course of their purification.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
