Abstract

The NADPH oxidase complex catalyzes the formation of superoxide (O2 −) in phagocytic leukocytes. This paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of this enzyme system. Recent studies have defined conditions for reconstitution of this enzymatic activity with purified proteins in a cell-free system. The role of the individual proteins that make up the active complex, their regulation and the effects of mutations in these proteins are discussed. While these studies represent major achievements, it is clear from cytochemical investigations that additional levels of complexity exist in the modulation of the NADPH oxidase complex in vivo. A major role for cytochemical analysis in understanding the cell biological aspects of the generation of reactive oxygen species is discussed.
