Abstract

Plasma membrane fractions of stimulated and resting cells were isolated from pig blood neutrophils. The midpoint redox potential (Em) of the membrane-bound flavin was determined potentiometrically by analysis of the flavin free-radical signal by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. In both stimulated and resting cells, a peak position of the titration curve gave an Em value of -280 mV at pH 7.0 (Em7). The flavin free radical showed an ESR spectrum at g = 2.004 with a peak to peak width of 19 G, which indicates that the redox intermediate is a neutral semiquinone. Redox titrations were anaerobically examined at 25 degrees C with NADPH in place of dithionite. Addition of NADPH to plasma membranes of stimulated cells resulted in a rapid change in potential, accompanied by the formation of the ESR signal of flavin free radical. Computer simulation of the titration points gave an ambient midpoint potential of -280 mV (Em7). In contrast, those of resting cells showed a very slow change in potential and no g = 2.00 signal formation. Power saturation behavior of the ESR signal showed a marked difference between those of stimulated and resting cells. ESR characteristics of the flavin are discussed in relation to the membrane-bound NADPH oxidase.

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The flavoprotein domain binds the cofactor FAD and includes a binding site for NADPH.

    “The transmembrane domain includes four conserved histidines that serve as binding sites for two heme moieties bound between helices III and V (288, 613), and the flavoprotein domain binds the cofactor FAD and includes a binding site for NADPH (49, 480, 613, 980).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
