Biochemistry and Physiology of Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases: Essential Components in Cyclic Nucleotide Signaling

Abstract: Although cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) were described soon after the discovery of cAMP, their complexity and functions in signaling is only recently beginning to become fully realized. We now know that at least 100 different PDE proteins degrade cAMP and cGMP in eukaryotes. A complex PDE gene organization and a large number of PDE splicing variants serve to fine-tune cyclic nucleotide signals and contribute to specificity in signaling. Here we review some of the major concepts related to our unde… Show more

“…PDEs are crucial for negatively regulating cAMP levels and thus for the control of the individual local cAMP signalling events. At least five PDE families (PDE1-4 and 8) are expressed in the heart and can rapidly hydrolyse cAMP to AMP, thereby creating multiple contiguous cAMP microdomains 1,[9][10][11][12] . This enables the specificity of each cAMP response associated with local pools of PKA responsible for phosphorylation of particular downstream effectors.…”

“…Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is a cAMP-specific PDE and the predominant PDE in inflammatory cells (21,22). Inhibition of PDE4 elevates intracellular cAMP levels, which, in turn, downregulates the inflammatory response by modulating the expression of TNF␣, interleukin-23 (IL-23), IL-12, and other inflammatory cytokines (21)(22)(23)(24). Elevation of cAMP increases the suppression of antiinflammatory cytokines such as IL-10.…”

“…The PDE superfamily consists of 11 different subfamilies (see Table 1) distinguished by their unique regulation, enzymatic characteristics, structure and pharmacological inhibitory profiles, as well as by their tissue, cellular and subcellular expression [68]. Each subfamily encompasses 1 to 4 distinct genes and each gene encodes multiple protein products generated by alternative splicing and/or the use of multiple promoters, resulting in more than 50 different PDE proteins identified in mammalian cells.…”

“…This multiplicity of PDE proteins may allow specific intracellular localization of PDEs in the vicinity of various protein effectors inducing compartmentation and fine-tuning of cAMP and cGMP signals [69,70]. So far, all the phosphodiesterases identified consist of a modular architecture, with a highly conserved catalytic core located in the C-terminal part of the protein and distinct regulatory domains located in the N-terminal portion [68].…”
