PG - 938-41 AB - The PDE4 (phosphodiesterase-4) enzyme family consists of a distinct array of N-terminal splice variant isoforms arising from four subfamily genes (4A, 4B, 4C and 4D). These all hydrolyse specifically the intracellular second messenger cAMP. Although identical in catalytic function, each isoform appears to serve a non-superfluous regulatory role. For example, a beta-arrestin-sequestered subpopulation of the PDE4D5 isoform specifically regulates the phosphorylation of the beta(2)-AR (beta(2)-adrenergic receptor) by PKA (protein kinase A; also called cAMP-dependent protein kinase). This was elucidated by the use of novel technologies, including dominant-negative approaches, siRNA (small interfering RNA) knockdown and spot-immobilized peptide array analyses. Functional phenotypes uncovered using these methodologies have shown that beta-arrestin-sequestered PDE4D5 shapes the spatial cAMP gradient around the membrane-bound beta(2)-AR, regulating its phosphorylation by PKA and its ability to activate ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) through G(i) in cardiomyocytes and HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney)-B2 cells. This approach has provided the very first identification of a non-redundant and specific role for a PDE isoform. The fact that phenotypes can be uncovered by displacing PDE4 isoforms from specific anchor sites using dominant-negative constructs and cell-permeable peptides points to novel means for developing therapeutics aimed at disrupting specifically sequestered PDE isoforms and even specifically sequestered subpopulations of individual isoforms.
