Cytochrome b of human neutrophils is the central component of the microbicidal NADPH-oxidase system. However, the folding topology of this integral membrane protein remains undetermined. Two random-sequence bacteriophage peptide libraries were used to map structural features of cytochrome b by determining the epitopes of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 44.1 and 54.1, specific for the p22phox and gp91phox cytochrome b chains, respectively. The unique peptides of phage selected by mAb affinity purification were deduced from the phage DNA sequences. Phage selected by mAb 44.1 displayed the consensus peptide sequence GGPQVXPI, which is nearly identical to 181GGPQVNPI188 of p22phox. Phage selected by mAb 54.1 displayed the consensus sequence PKXAVDGP, which resembles 382PKIAVDGP389 of gp91phox. Western blotting demonstrated specific binding of each mAb to the respective cytochrome b subunit and selected phage peptides. In flow cytometric analysis, mAb 44.1 bound only permeabilized neutrophils, while 54.1 did not bind intact or permeabilized cells. However, mAb 54.1 immunosedimented detergent-solubilized cytochrome b in sucrose gradients. These results suggest the 181GGPQVNPI188 segment of p22phox is accessible on its intracellular surface, but the 382PKIAVDGP389 region on gp91phox is not accessible to antibody, and probably not on the protein surface.

The NADPH-oxidase system of neutrophils is a host-defensive plasma membrane redox system that produces superoxide anion (O)(1Badwey J.A. Karnovsky M.L. Annu. Rev.

Curnutte J.T. Blood. 1991; 77: 673-686Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Humans lacking this enzyme system are unable to produce neutrophil-generated superoxide and suffer recurrent bacterial infections, granulomatous lesions of multiple organs, and early death (4). This condition was first reported in 1957(5Landing B.H. Shirkey H.S. Pediatrics. 1957; 20: 431-438PubMed Google Scholar, 6Berendes H. Bridges R.A. Good R.A. Minn.

Cytochrome b (also known as flavocytochrome b, cytochrome b588, cytochrome b559, and cytochrome b−245) is the central redox component of the phagocyte NADPH-oxidase system of human neutrophils.

A number of studies have provided information about cytochrome b native structure. Electron microscopy and immunochemical analysis were used to localize cytochrome b in the neutrophil and eosinophil(16Jesaitis A.J. Buescher E.S. Harrison D. Quinn M.T. Parkos C.A. Livesey S.

Blood. 1990; 76: 2105-2116Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). In one of these studies, we found that the epitopes of cytochrome b containing the amino acid residues 547KQSISNSESGPRG559 of gp91phox and 162EARKKPSEEEAAA174 of p22phox are surface-accessible epitopes of native cytochrome b(16Jesaitis A.J. Buescher E.S. Harrison D. Quinn M.T. Parkos C.A. Livesey S. Linner J. J. Clin. Invest. 1990; 85: 821-835Crossref PubMed Scopus (104) Google Scholar). Rotrosen et al. (18Rotrosen D. Kleinberg M.E. Nunoi H. Leto T. Gallin J.I. Malech H.L. J. Biol. Chem. 1990; 265: 8745-8750Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar) found that synthetic peptides corresponding to the carboxyl terminus of gp91phoxinhibited NADPH-oxidase activation in electrically permeabilized cells, and antipeptide antibodies directed against this region prevented superoxide formation in a cell-free system. In addition, p22phox contains a proline-rich region in the carboxyl-terminal tail, which may provide Src homology domain binding sites, for p47phox or p47phox/p67phox complexes(19De Mendez I. Garrett M.C. Adams A.G. Leto T.L. J. Biol. Chem. 1994; 269: 16326-16332Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). These data suggest functional roles for the carboxyl termini of both subunits, which are presumed to occupy cytosolic locations. Initial analysis of the folding topology of cytochrome b has been reported by Imajoh-Ohmi et al.(20Imajoh-Ohmi S. Tokita K. Ochiai H. Nakamura M. Kanegasaki S. J. Biol. Chem. 1992; 267: 180-184Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar), who determined accessibility of the subunits to anti-peptide antibodies and proteolytic enzymes. Two regions of gp91phox were exposed to proteolytic enzymes on the outer surface of the cell, while p22phox was not found to be sensitive to such external proteolysis(10Quinn M.T. Mullen M.L. Jesaitis A.J. J. Biol. Chem. 1992; 267: 7303-7309Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). The carboxyl termini of both subunits were accessible to antibody on the internal surface of the plasma membrane(20Imajoh-Ohmi S. Tokita K. Ochiai H. Nakamura M. Kanegasaki S. J. Biol. Chem. 1992; 267: 180-184Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). The protein sequence of the carboxyl-terminal half of gp91phoxshows some similarity to other NAD(P)H-oxidoreductases (12Rotrosen D. Yeung C.L. Leto T.L. Malech H.L. Kwong C.H.

Studies by Pick and co-workers (22Koshkin V. Pick E. FEBS Lett. 1994; 338: 285-289Crossref PubMed Scopus (65) Google Scholar) have shown that cytochrome b binds FAD and can function as a superoxide generating NAD(P)H-oxidase, even without added cytosolic for superoxide in other cell-free These results have that cytochrome b is the only component of the NADPH oxidase and that its binding may ferredoxin (12Rotrosen D.
