The respiratory burst oxidase of phagocytes and B lymphocytes catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to O-2(-) at the expense of NADPH. Dormant in resting cells, the oxidase is activated by exposing the cells to appropriate stimuli. During activation, p47(phox), a cytosolic oxidase subunit, becomes extensively phosphorylated on a number of serines located between S303-S379. To determine whether this phosphorylation is necessary for oxidase activation, we examined phorbol-elicited oxidase activity in EBV-transformed B lymphoblasts deficient in p47(phox) after transfection with plasmids expressing various S --> A mutants of p47(phox). The mutant containing S --> A mutations involving all serines between S303 and S379 [S(303-379) A] was not phosphorylated, did not translocate to plasma membrane during activation and was almost devoid of function, As to individual serines, S379 was of special interest because (a) p47(phox) S379 was phosphorylated in phorbol-activated lymphoblasts expressing wild-type p47(phox), and (b) p47(phox) S379A failed to translocate to the membrane, and was as functionless as p47(phox) S(303-379) A; other single S --> A mutations had little effect on oxidase activity. These findings suggest that the phosphorylation of S379 may be important for oxidase activation in whole cells.
