Characterization of a cAMP-stimulated cAMP phosphodiesterase in Dictyostelium discoideum.
A cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, PdeE, that harbors two cyclic nucleotide binding motifs and a binuclear Zn(2+)-binding domain was characterized in Dictyostelium. In other eukaryotes, the Dictyostelium domain shows greatest homology to the 73-kDa subunit of the pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor. The Dictyostelium PdeE gene is expressed at its highest levels during a...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel cAMP-binding, cAMP-specific cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (TcrPDEB1) from Trypanosoma cruzi.
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, encodes a number of different cAMP-specific PDE (phosphodiesterase) families. Here we report the identification and characterization of TcrPDEB1 and its comparison with the previously identified TcrPDEB2 (formerly known as TcPDE1). These are two different PDE enzymes of the TcrPDEB family, named in accordance with the recent recommendati...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a cAMP-specific cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) regulate intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP by hydrolyzing them to their corresponding 5' monophosphates. We report here the cloning and characterization of a novel cAMP-specific PDE from mouse testis. This unique phosphodiesterase contains a catalytic domain that overall shares <40% sequence identity to the catalytic domain of all other known PDEs...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of PDE7B, a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase.
A member of the phosphodiesterase (PDE)7 family with high affinity and specificity for cAMP has been identified. Based on sequence homologies, we designate this PDE as PDE7B. The full-length cDNA of PDE7B is 2399 bp, and its ORF sequence predicts a protein of 446 amino acids with a molecular mass of 50.1 kDa. Comparison of the predicted protein sequences of PDE7A and PDE7B reveals an identity o...
متن کاملA cAMP-phosphodiesterase controls PKA-dependent differentiation.
A cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase was found that is stimulated by binding to the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, PKA-R, from either Dictyostelium or mammals. The phosphodiesterase is encoded by the regA gene of Dictyostelium, which was recovered in a mutant screen for strains that sporulate in the absence of signals from prestalk cells. The sequence of RegA predicts that it...
