Phagocytosis is accompanied by the production of superoxide by the NADPH oxidase complex, for which GTP-bound Rac is essential. We wanted to determine whether Rho is also involved in the production of superoxide during phagocytosis. Inhibition of Rho by Tat-C3 exoenzyme (Tat-C3) blocked superoxide formation and curtailed the phagocytosis of serum- (SOZ), C3bi- (COZ), and IgG-opsonized zymosan (IOZ) particles. Tat-C3 did not affect superoxide formation in response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), formyl Met-Leu-Phe ( fMLP), or macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Superoxide formation was also reduced in J774 cells transfected with a cDNA expressing dominant-negative form of RhoA ( N19RhoA). However, purified prenylated recombinant RhoA did not activate NADPH oxidase in vitro, suggesting that Rho does not interact directly with NADPH oxidase. Tat-C3 inhibited the activity of RhoA, but did not affect that of Rac in vitro or in vivo. It also inhibited the phosphorylation of p47(PHOX), one of the cytosolic components of NADPH oxidase. Taken together, these results suggest that Rho plays an important role in superoxide formation during phagocytosis of SOZ, COZ, and IOZ via phosphorylation of p47(PHOX).
