Reactive oxygen intermediates and serine proteases are important components of host defense systems but can produce host injury if not tightly regulated. To determine whether these components can be coordinately controlled, we investigated regulation of superoxide generation by physiologically relevant concentrations of a) highly purified serum-derived antichymotrypsin (ACT), b) recombinant, wild- type ACT, c) rACT in which amino acid substitutions were engineered into the reactive center, and d) chymotrypsin/ACT complexes. These proteins and protein complexes inhibited superoxide anion production in neutrophils stimulated by f-Met-Leu-Phe, Con A, or PMA. In contrast, ligand-stimulated degranulation was not inhibited. In addition, using the recombinants and complexes, the region of ACT involved in inhibiting superoxide anion production was shown to be structurally distinct from the reactive center of the protein. The results indicate that functional domains of ACT corresponding to different biological activities can be decoupled and suggest that three species of ACT (intact ACT, a complexed protease/ACT form, and a partially denatured or proteolyzed form of ACT) that can exist in the microenvironment of an activated neutrophil may play an important role in regulating neutrophil function.
