The cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE4D5 can interact with the signalling scaffold proteins RACK (receptors for activated C-kinase) 1 and beta-arrestin. Two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation analyses showed that RACK1 and beta-arrestin interact with PDE4D5 in a mutually exclusive manner. Overlay studies with PDE4D5 scanning peptide array libraries showed that RACK1 and beta-arrestin interact at overlapping sites within the unique N-terminal region of PDE4D5 and at distinct sites within the conserved PDE4 catalytic domain. Screening scanning alanine substitution peptide arrays, coupled with mutagenesis and truncation studies, allowed definition of RACK1 and beta-arrestin interaction sites. Modelled on the PDE4D catalytic domain, these form distinct well-defined surface-exposed patches on helices-15-16, for RACK1, and helix-17 for beta-arrestin. siRNA (small interfering RNA)-mediated knockdown of RACK1 in HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney) B2 cells increased beta-arrestin-scaffolded PDE4D5 approx. 5-fold, increased PDE4D5 recruited to the beta2AR (beta2-adrenergic receptor) upon isoproterenol challenge approx. 4-fold and severely attenuated (approx. 4-5 fold) both isoproterenol-stimulated PKA (protein kinase A) phosphorylation of the beta2AR and activation of ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase). The ability of a catalytically inactive form of PDE4D5 to exert a dominant negative effect in amplifying isoproterenol-stimulated ERK activation was ablated by a mutation that blocked the interaction of PDE4D5 with beta-arrestin. In the present study, we show that the signalling scaffold proteins RACK1 and beta-arrestin compete to sequester distinct 'pools' of PDE4D5. In this fashion, alterations in the level of RACK1 expression may act to modulate signal transduction mediated by the beta2AR.

Challenge of the beta(2)Ar (beta(2)-adrenergic receptor) with isoprenaline in HEK-293beta(2) cells (human embryonic kidney cells stably overexpressing a FLAG- and green fluorescent protein-tagged beta(2)Ar) results in the PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) phosphorylation of GRK2 (G-protein receptor kinase-2). This response was enhanced when PDE4 (phosphodiesterase-4) activity was attenuated using either rolipram, a PDE4-selective inhibitor, or with siRNA (small interfering RNA) knockdown of both PDE4B and PDE4D. Rolipram also facilitated GRK2 recruitment to the membrane and phosphorylation of the beta(2)Ar by GRK2 in response to isoprenaline challenge of cells. In resting cells, rolipram treatment alone is sufficient to promote PKA phosphorylation of GRK2, with consequential effects on GRK2 translocation and GRK2 phosphorylation of the beta(2)Ar. Similar effects are observed in cardiac myocytes. We propose that PDE4 activity protects GRK2 from inappropriate phosphorylation by PKA in resting cells that might have occurred through fluctuations in basal cAMP levels. Thus PDE4 gates the action of PKA to phosphorylate GRK2.

There is a growing appreciation that the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway is organized to form transduction units that function to deliver specific messages. Such organization results in the local activation of PKA subsets through the generation of confined intracellular gradients of cAMP, but the mechanisms responsible for limiting the diffusion of cAMP largely remain to be clarified. In this study, by performing real-time imaging of cAMP, we show that prostaglandin 1 stimulation generates multiple contiguous, intracellular domains with different cAMP concentration in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. By using pharmacological and genetic manipulation of phosphodiesterases (PDEs), we demonstrate that compartmentalized PDE4B and PDE4D are responsible for selectively modulating the concentration of cAMP in individual subcellular compartments. We propose a model whereby compartmentalized PDEs, rather than representing an enzymatic barrier to cAMP diffusion, act as a sink to drain the second messenger from discrete locations, resulting in multiple and simultaneous domains with different cAMP concentrations irrespective of their distance from the site of cAMP synthesis.

Major changes in the cAMP-dependent signal transduction pathway triggered by FSH take place during transition of rat Sertoli cells from proliferative to the quiescent/terminally differentiated state. Using Sertoli cell cultures isolated from 10-, 20-, and 30-day-old rats, we recorded a specific increase in PDE4 activity in both the soluble and particulate subcellular fractions of 20-day-old Sertoli cells, which also displayed the highest cAMP response to FSH and the highest FSH-induced increase in PDE4 activity in both subcellular compartments. RT-PCR and immunoblotting experiments showed that almost all the PDE4D isoforms, known as the main cAMP-regulated rolipram-sensitive PDE in Sertoli cells, were expressed throughout the early postpartum period, whereas only the short PDE4D isoforms (PDE4D1 and PDE4D2) were transcriptionally regulated by FSH. Unexpectedly, the immunoblot data also revealed that the soluble PDE4 activities were mainly related to the long PDE4D isoforms and that short PDE4D1 was predominantly particulate. The subcellular distribution and expression of PDE4D proteins were unaffected by the developmental status of the Sertoli cells. Only the expression of short PDE4D1 appeared to be upregulated by FSH and only in 20-day-old Sertoli cells, which suggests phenotype-dependent differential regulation of Pde4d1 mRNA translation. Resensitization of the cAMP response to FSH in 20-day-old Sertoli cells was also associated with the highest FSH-induced transient increase in both soluble and particulate PDE4 activities, which suggests developmental changes in the PKA-mediated upregulation of the catalytic activities of long PDE4D. Such alterations may be involved in the phenotype-dependent alterations in FSH receptor coupling with its associated G proteins in rat Sertoli cells.

Disorganized ion transport caused by hypo- or hyperfunctioning of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) can be detrimental and may result in life-threatening diseases such as cystic fibrosis or secretory diarrhea. Thus, CFTR is controlled by elaborate positive and negative regulations for an efficient homeostasis. It has been shown that expression and activity of CFTR can be regulated either positively or negatively by PDZ (PSD-95/discs large/ZO-1) domain-based adaptors. Although a positive regulation by PDZ domain-based adaptors such as EBP50/NHERF1 is established, the mechanisms for negative regulation of the CFTR by Shank2, as well as the effects of multiple adaptor interactions, are not known. Here we demonstrate a physical and physiological competition between EBP50-CFTR and Shank2-CFTR associations and the dynamic regulation of CFTR activity by these positive and negative interactions using the surface plasmon resonance assays and consecutive patch clamp experiments. Furthermore whereas EBP50 recruits a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) complex to CFTR, Shank2 was found to be physically and functionally associated with the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase PDE4D that precludes cAMP/PKA signals in epithelial cells and mouse brains. These findings strongly suggest that balanced interactions between the membrane transporter and multiple PDZ-based adaptors play a critical role in the homeostatic regulation of epithelial transport and possibly the membrane transport in other tissues.

FSH-induced upregulation of cAMP-PDE4 activities was decreased in cultured Sertoli cells when alteration of cell proteoglycans (PGs) metabolism was simultaneously induced either by para-nitrophenyl beta-d-xyloside (PNPX) or by sodium chlorate. This effect was restricted to the particulate PDE4 activities and its timing was consistent with the half-life of Sertoli cell PGs. It did not result from alterations in Pde4d variants expression, the major FSH-regulated PDE4 in Sertoli cells. Moreover, lack of changes in the particulate levels of major immunoreactive 75 kDa and 90 kDa PDE4D proteins, corresponding likely to short PDE4D1 and long PDE4D3/D8/D9 isoforms respectively, suggested that the decrease in FSH-stimulated of PDE4 activities in chlorate- and PNPX-treated cells at the end of the 24-h incubation period resulted from the increased reversal of the activated particulate PDE4(D) activities back to unstimulated levels. By controlling FSH-stimulated particulate PDE4 inactivation through a still unknown mechanism (sustained activation of PKA or reduction of phosphoprotein phosphatase activities), cell PGs could be involved in the alteration of cAMP response to FSH accompanying the transition of Sertoli cells from proliferative to non-proliferative differentiated state.

Beta2-ARs (beta2-adrenoceptors) become desensitized rapidly upon recruitment of cytosolic beta-arrestin. PDE4D5 (family 4 cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, subfamily D, isoform 5) can be recruited in complex with beta-arrestin, whereupon it regulates PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase) phosphorylation of the beta2-AR. In the present study, we have used novel technology, employing a library of overlapping peptides (25-mers) immobilized on cellulose membranes that scan the entire sequence of beta-arrestin 2, to define the interaction sites on beta-arrestin 2 for binding of PDE4D5 and the cognate long isoform, PDE4D3. We have identified a binding site in the beta-arrestin 2 N-domain for the common PDE4D catalytic unit and two regions in the beta-arrestin 2 C-domain that confer specificity for PDE4D5 binding. Alanine-scanning peptide array analysis of the N-domain binding region identified severely reduced interaction with PDE4D5 upon R26A substitution, and reduced interaction upon either K18A or T20A substitution. Similar analysis of the beta-arrestin 2 C-domain identified Arg286 and Asp291, together with the Leu215-His220 region, as being important for binding PDE4D5, but not PDE4D3. Transfection with wild-type beta-arrestin 2 profoundly decreased isoprenaline-stimulated PKA phosphorylation of the beta2-AR in MEFs (mouse embryo fibroblasts) lacking both beta-arrestin 1 and beta-arrestin 2. This effect was negated using either the R26A or the R286A mutant form of beta-arrestin 2 or a mutant with substitution of an alanine cassette for Leu215-His220, which showed little or no PDE4D5 binding, but was still recruited to the beta2-AR upon isoprenaline challenge. These data show that the interaction of PDE4D5 with both the N- and C-domains of beta-arrestin 2 are essential for beta2-AR regulation.

cAMP regulates integrin-dependent adhesions of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) to extracellular matrix proteins, their vascular endothelial cadherin-dependent intercellular adhesions, and their proliferation and migration in response to growth and chemotactic factors. Previously, we reported that cAMP-elevating agents differentially inhibited migration of human VECs isolated from large vascular structures (macro-VECs, human aortic endothelial cells [HAECs]) or small vascular structures (micro-VECs, human microvascular endothelial cells [HMVECs]) and that cAMP hydrolysis by phosphodiesterase (PDE)3 and PDE4 enzymes was important in coordinating this difference. Here we report that 2 cAMP-effector enzymes, namely protein kinase (PK)A and exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC), each regulate extracellular matrix protein-based adhesions of both macro- and micro-VECs. Of interest and potential therapeutic importance, we report that although specific pharmacological activation of EPAC markedly stimulated adhesion of micro-VECs to extracellular matrix proteins when PKA was inhibited, this treatment only modestly promoted adhesion of macro-VECs. Consistent with an important role for cAMP PDEs in this difference, PDE3 or PDE4 inhibitors promoted EPAC-dependent adhesions in micro-VECs when PKA was inhibited but not in macro-VECs. At a molecular level, we identify multiple, nonoverlapping, PKA- or EPAC-based signaling protein complexes in both macro- and micro-VECs and demonstrate that each of these complexes contains either PDE3B or PDE4D but not both of these PDEs. Taken together, our data support the concept that adhesion of macro- and micro-VECs is differentially regulated by cAMP and that these differences are coordinated through selective actions of cAMP at multiple nonoverlapping signaling complexes that contain PKA or EPAC and distinct PDE variants.

By activating two distinct classes of effector enzymes, namely Protein Kinases A [PKA] or Exchange Proteins Activated by cAMP [EPAC], the ubiquitous second messenger cAMP selectively coordinates numerous events simultaneously in virtually all cells. Studies focused on dissecting the manner by which cAMP simultaneously regulates multiple cellular events have shown that cAMP activates its effectors non-uniformly in cells and that this localized cAMP-mediated signalling is made possible, at least in part, by anchoring of cAMP effectors to selected subcellular structures. In the work described here, we report that HEK293T cells ["293T"] contain several PKA- and EPAC1-based signalling complexes. Interestingly, our data do not identify signalling complexes in which both PKA and EPAC are each present but rather are consistent with the idea that these two effectors operate in distinct complexes in these cells. Similarly, we report that while individual PKA- or EPAC-containing complexes can contain either phosphodiesterase 3B, [PDE3B] or phosphodiesterase 4D [PDE4D], they do not contain both these phosphodiesterases. Indeed, although PDE4D enzymes were identified in both PKA- and EPAC-based complexes, PDE3B was largely identified in EPAC-based complexes. Using a combination of approaches, we identified that integration of PDE3B into EPAC-based complexes occurred through its amino terminal fragment [PDE3B(AT)]. Consistent with the idea that integration of PDE3B within EPAC-based complexes was dynamic and regulated PDE3 inhibitor-mediated effects on cellular functions, expression of PDE3B(AT) competed with endogenous PDE3B for integration into EPAC-based complexes and antagonized PDE3 inhibitor-based cell adhesion. Our data support the concept that cells can contain several non-overlapping PKA- and EPAC-based signalling complexes and that these complexes may also represent sites within cells were the effects of family-selective PDE inhibitors could be integrated to affect cell functions, including adhesion.

Smooth muscle of the gut undergoes rhythmic cycles of contraction and relaxation. Various constituents in the pathways that mediate muscle contraction could act to cross-regulate cAMP or cGMP levels and terminate subsequent relaxation. We have previously shown that cAMP levels are regulated by PKA-mediated phosphorylation of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and PDE4D5; the latter is the only PDE4D isoform expressed in smooth muscle. In the present study we have elucidated a mechanism whereby cholecystokinin (CCK) and, presumably, other contractile agonists capable of activating PKC can cross-regulate cAMP levels. Forskolin stimulated PDE4D5 phosphorylation and PDE4D5 activity. CCK significantly increased forskolin-stimulated PDE4D5 phosphorylation and activity and attenuated forskolin-stimulated cAMP levels. The effect of CCK on forskolin-induced PDE4D5 phosphorylation and activity and on cAMP levels was blocked by the inhibitors of PLC or PKC and in cultured muscle cells by the expression of Galpha(q) minigene. The effects of CCK on PDE4D5 phosphorylation, PDE4D5 activity, and cAMP levels were mimicked by low (1 nM) concentrations of okadaic acid, but not by a low (10 nM) concentration of tautomycin, suggesting involvement of PP2A. Purified catalytic subunit of PP2A but not PP1 dephosphorylated PDE4D5 in vitro. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrated association of PDE4D5 with PP2A and the association was decreased by the activation of PKC. In conclusion, cAMP levels are cross-regulated by contractile agonists via a mechanism that involves PLC-beta-dependent, PKC-mediated inhibition of PP2A activity that leads to increase in PDE4D5 phosphorylation and activity and inhibition of cAMP levels.
