Abstract
GTP and GTP‐γ‐S enhanced several‐fold the NADPH‐dependent superoxide production induced by sodium dodecyl sulfate in a cell‐free system of pig neutrophils consisting of the membrane fraction and two cytosolic fractions separated by gel filtration. The enhanced activity was decreased by the addition of GDP in a dose‐dependent manner, but 70% of the activity in the absence of GTP remained even at 1 mM GDP. Only one cytosol fraction besides the membrane fraction was required for the activation in the presence of GTP. The cytosol fraction was analyzed by chromatography on 2′,5′‐ADP agarose and two components responsible for the GTP‐dependent and independent activation were separated. These results suggest that at least two pathways are available for the activation of superoxide production in the cell‐free system of pig neutrophils.Keywords
