Neutrophils are key cells of innate immunity and during inflammation. Upon activation, they produce large amounts of superoxide anion (O-2(-.)) and ensuing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill phagocytized microbes. The enzyme responsible for O-2(-.) production is called the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. This is a multicomponent enzyme system that becomes active after assembly of four cytosolic proteins (p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox) and Rac2) with the transmembrane proteins (p22(phox) and gp91(phox), which form the cytochrome b(558)). gp91(phox) represents the catalytic subunit of the NADPH oxidase and is also called NOX2. NADPH oxidase-derived ROS are essential for microbial killing and innate immunity; however, excessive ROS production induces tissue injury and prolonged inflammatory reactions that contribute to inflammatory diseases. Thus, NADPH oxidase activation must be tightly regulated in time and space to limit ROS production. NADPH oxidase activation is regulated by several processes such as phosphorylation of its components, exchange of GDP/GTP on Rac2 and binding of p47(phox) and p40(phox) to phospholipids. This review aims to provide new insights into the role of the phosphorylation of the NADPH oxidase components, that is gp91(phox), p22(phox), p47(phox), p67(phox) and p40(phox), in the activation of this enzyme.
