Actin has been reported to enhance the superoxidegenerating activity of neutrophil NADPH oxidase in a cell-free system and to interact with p47(phox), a regulatory subunit of the oxidase. In the present study, we searched for an actin-binding site in p47(phox) by far-western blotting and blot-binding assays using truncated forms of p47(phox). The amino-acid sequence 319-337 was identified as an actin-binding site, and a synthetic peptide of this sequence bound to actin. The sequence shows no homology to other known actin-binding motifs. It is located in the autoinhibitory region of p47(phox) and includes Ser-328, a phosphorylation site essential for unmasking. Although a phosphorylation-mimetic p47(phox) mutant bound to actin with a lower affinity than the wild type, the same mutant interacted with filamentous actin more efficiently than the wild type. A mutant peptide p47(phox) (319-337, Ser328Glu) bound to filamentous actin more tightly than to monomer actin. These results suggest that p47(phox) Moves to cortical actin when it becomes unmasked in the cells. (c) 2005 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
