Because oxidative stress is one of the main sources of severe cellular damage, cells have different defense weapons against reactive oxygen species. Ubiquitous plasma membrane redox systems play a role in defense against oxidative stress damage. On the other hand, a tightly controlled and localized production of reactive oxygen species by a plasma membrane NADPH oxidase can be used as a potent microbicidal weapon. This dual, prooxidant and antioxidant role of plasma membrane electron transport systems in defense is studied and discussed.
