89
Why do p40/p47/p67 trimer stays in they cytsol
Because of auto-inhibitory region AIR p47phox is combined with its SH3 domain which prevents its binding to the PRR domain of p22phox
89
Why is RAC maintained in the cytsol
Its lipid tail is masked by the inhibitory protien RhoGDP-dissociation inhibitor which prevents the binding to the membrane
90

91
What trigger en block
The phosphorylation of p47phox which serve as an organizer the phosphorylation induces a conformational change of p47 which unmasks the SH3 domains so now PRR of p22phox can bind to SH3 pX is now accesible to the membrane
92

This means that the patient has CGD because it is only showing the no flourscent cells that are active
103
What happens if you see two peaks in DHR
The patient is healthy because the once you have activation NADPH oxidase normal neturophills will then produce superoxide radical and that will oxidize DHR to highly fluorescen molecules
