3',5'-Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs, 3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase), E.C. 3.1.4.17, catalyse the hydrolysis of a 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide (usually cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP). isobutylmethylxanthine is a nonselective inhibitor with an IC50 value in the millimolar range for all isoforms except PDE 8A, 8B and 9A. A 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (E.C. 3.1.4.37 CNPase) activity is associated with myelin formation in the development of the CNS.

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) catalyze the hydrolysis of the 3′-ester bond of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP), important second messengers in the transduction of a variety of extracellular signals. There is growing interest in the study of PDEs as drug targets for novel therapeutics. We describe the development of a homogeneous fluorescence polarization assay for PDEs based on the strong binding of PDE reaction products (i.e., AMP or GMP) onto modified nanoparticles through interactions with immobilized trivalent metal cations. This assay technology (IMAP) is applicable to both cAMP- and cGMP-specific PDEs. Results of the assay in 384- and 1536-well microplates are presented.

AbstractDopamine is a major neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in vertebrate retina. Although its pharmacological and physiological actions are well understood, the biochemical mechanisms of its signal transduction are less clear. Acting via D1 receptors, dopamine was shown to increase cyclic AMP levels in intact retina and to activate adenylate cyclase in retinal homogenates. The action via activation of D2 receptors is controversial: it was reported to decrease cyclic AMP levels in intact retina but inhibition of cyclase could not be demonstrated in retinal homogenates; also it was reported to activate rod outer segment cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase in vitro but did not decrease cyclic GMP levels in aspartate-treated retinas. We made an attempt to fractionate bovine retinal membranes and to investigate the effects of dopamine, via Dl and D2 receptors, on the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. Activation of cyclic AMP synthesis was noted in all fractions, but no effects were evident on cyclic nucleotide hydrolysis or cyclic GMP synthesis in any fraction. Also, D2 agonist did not inhibit cyclic AMP synthesis. These observations suggest that D2 receptors may not be directly coupled to cyclic nucleotide metabolizing enzymes in bovine retina.

1. Simulations were performed using a model for cellular cyclic AMP metabolism involving a hormone-activated adenylate cyclase and two cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases with different Michaelis constants. 2. The response curves of cyclic AMP concentration as a function of hormone concentration were affected by regulating the phosphodiesterases. The maximum velocity of the high-affinity phosphodiesterase (V1) was important in determining the position of the response curve; when v1 was less than the maximal activity of adenylate cyclase (Vc), sigmoid response curves were readily produced. The maximum attainable concentration of cyclic AMP was determined primarily by V1 when Vc less than V1, and primarily by the activity of the low-affinity enzyme when Vc greater than V1 (V2 much greater than Vc in all cases). 3. The glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase and insulin-stimulated phosphodiesterase of the rat liver plasma membrane were simulated using experimentally determined values for the enzyme-kinetic parameters, and a considerable potential for regulation of the system by insulin was demonstrated. 4. Other possible functions for the regulation of phosphodiesterases are considered, in particular the value of increasing the speed of response to decreases in hormone concentration.
