Characterization of a rat liver cyclic GMP-activated phosphodiesterase by chromatography on hexyl-agarose. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity by hexyl-agarose.

ABSTRACT: Chromatography on hexyl-agarose resolved a partially purified cyclic GMP-activated phosphodiesterase from rat liver into two peaks of activity: the first was eluted with 0.5 M-KCl and was cyclic AMP-specific. The second was tightly bound to hexyl-agarose and was not eluted with KCl (0--2.0 M), which enhanced the hydrophobic interactions of this form with the matrix. It was eluted with 0.5 M-Tris, hydrolysed cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP and was specifically activated by cyclic GMP. The cyclic GMP-activated phosphodiesterase was immobilized on hexyl-agarose. Enzyme activity, quantitatively bound to hexyl-agarose, was not released from the hydrophobic matrix in the presence of cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, under our assay conditions. The immobilized form of the enzyme retained catalytic activity, was inhibited by 0.1 mM-cyclic AMP and was activated by micromolar concentrations of cyclic GMP to a lesser extent (7-fold) than the control, i.e. the enzyme mixed with unsubstituted agarose (15-fold). When the enzyme was immobilized, inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity was only observed in the presence of cyclic GMP (at 3 microM); in its absence, activity remained unchanged. The kinetic behaviour of the immobilized enzyme is consistent with the hypothesis of a binding site distinct from the hydrolytic and activating sites.

Distinct allostery induced in the cyclic GMP-binding, cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE5) by cyclic GMP, sildenafil, and metal ions.

Project description:The activity of many proteins orchestrating different biological processes is regulated by allostery, where ligand binding at one site alters the function of another site. Allosteric changes can be brought about by either a change in the dynamics of a protein, or alteration in its mean structure. We have investigated the mechanisms of allostery induced by chemically distinct ligands in the cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, PDE5. PDE5 is the target for catalytic site inhibitors, such as sildenafil, that are used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. PDE5 is a multidomain protein and contains two N-terminal cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, bacterial adenylyl cyclase, FhLA transcriptional regulator (GAF) domains, and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Cyclic GMP binding to the GAFa domain and sildenafil binding to the catalytic domain result in conformational changes, which to date have been studied either with individual domains or with purified enzyme. Employing intramolecular bioluminescence resonance energy transfer, which can monitor conformational changes both in vitro and in intact cells, we show that binding of cGMP and sildenafil to PDE5 results in distinct conformations of the protein. Metal ions bound to the catalytic site also allosterically modulated cGMP- and sildenafil-induced conformational changes. The sildenafil-induced conformational change was temperature-sensitive, whereas cGMP-induced conformational change was independent of temperature. This indicates that different allosteric ligands can regulate the conformation of a multidomain protein by distinct mechanisms. Importantly, this novel PDE5 sensor has general physiological and clinical relevance because it allows the identification of regulators that can modulate PDE5 conformation in vivo.

Active Site Metal Occupancy and Cyclic Di-GMP Phosphodiesterase Activity of Thermotoga maritima HD-GYP.

Project description:HD-GYPs make up a subclass of the metal-dependent HD phosphohydrolase superfamily and catalyze conversion of cyclic di(3',5')-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) to 5'-phosphoguanylyl-(3'?5')-guanosine (pGpG) and GMP. Until now, the only reported crystal structure of an HD-GYP that also exhibits c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase activity contains a His/carboxylate ligated triiron active site. However, other structural and phylogenetic correlations indicate that some HD-GYPs contain dimetal active sites. Here we provide evidence that an HD-GYP c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase, TM0186, from Thermotoga maritima can accommodate both di- and trimetal active sites. We show that an as-isolated iron-containing TM0186 has an oxo/carboxylato-bridged diferric site, and that the reduced (diferrous) form is necessary and sufficient to catalyze conversion of c-di-GMP to pGpG, but that conversion of pGpG to GMP requires more than two metals per active site. Similar c-di-GMP phosphodiesterase activities were obtained with divalent iron or manganese. On the basis of activity correlations with several putative metal ligand residue variants and molecular dynamics simulations, we propose that TM0186 can accommodate both di- and trimetal active sites. Our results also suggest that a Glu residue conserved in a subset of HD-GYPs is required for formation of the trimetal site and can also serve as a labile ligand to the dimetal site. Given the anaerobic growth requirement of T. maritima, we suggest that this HD-GYP can function in vivo with either divalent iron or manganese occupying di- and trimetal sites.

Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase activities of rat mammary tissue.

Project description:Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity in mammary tissue from rats in midlactation was resolved by DEAE-cellulose chromatography into three functionally distinct fractions: a Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase, a cyclic GMP-stimulated low-affinity cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, and a high-affinity cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase. The absolute activities and relative proportions of high- and low-affinity enzymes resemble those found, for example, in liver, as distinct from those in excitable tissues. Three functional characteristics are described which are peculiar to mammary-tissue phosphodiesterases. Firstly, the concentration of free Ca2+ required to achieve half-maximal activation of the Ca2+/calmodulin-stimulated phosphodiesterase is somewhat higher than for the analogous enzyme in other tissues; secondly, the activity of this enzyme towards cyclic AMP relative to that towards cyclic GMP is unusually low, and thirdly, the low-affinity cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase is inhibited by low concentrations of free Ca2+.

Cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase-5 regulates motility of sea urchin spermatozoa.

Project description:Motility, chemotaxis, and the acrosome reaction of animal sperm are all regulated by cyclic nucleotides and protein phosphorylation. One of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) substrates in sea urchin sperm is a member of the phosphodiesterase (PDE) family. The molecular identity and in vivo function of this PDE remained unknown. Here we cloned and characterized this sea urchin sperm PDE (suPDE5), which is an ortholog of human PDE5. The recombinant catalytic domain of suPDE5 hydrolyzes only cyclic GMP (cGMP) and the activity is pH-dependent. Phospho-suPDE5 localizes mainly to sperm flagella and the phosphorylation increases when sperm contact the jelly layer surrounding eggs. In vitro dephosphorylation of suPDE5 decreases its activity by approximately 50%. PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra block the activity of suPDE5 and increase sperm motility. This is the first PDE5 protein to be discovered in animal sperm. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that suPDE5 regulates cGMP levels in sperm, which in turn modulate sperm motility.

Brucella melitensis cyclic di-GMP phosphodiesterase BpdA controls expression of flagellar genes.

Project description:Brucella melitensis encounters a variety of conditions and stimuli during its life cycle--including environmental growth, intracellular infection, and extracellular dissemination--which necessitates flexibility of bacterial signaling to promote virulence. Cyclic-di-GMP is a bacterial secondary signaling molecule that plays an important role in adaptation to changing environments and altering virulence in a number of bacteria. To investigate the role of cyclic-di-GMP in B. melitensis, all 11 predicted cyclic-di-GMP-metabolizing proteins were separately deleted and the effect on virulence was determined. Three of these cyclic-di-GMP-metabolizing proteins were found to alter virulence. Deletion of the bpdA and bpdB genes resulted in attenuation of virulence of the bacterium, while deletion of the cgsB gene produced a hypervirulent strain. In a Vibrio reporter system to monitor apparent alteration in levels of cyclic-di-GMP, both BpdA and BpdB displayed a phenotype consistent with cyclic-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterases, while CgsB displayed a cyclic-di-GMP synthase phenotype. Further analysis found that deletion of bpdA resulted in a dramatic decrease in flagellar promoter activities, and a flagellar mutant showed similar phenotypes to the bpdA and bpdB mutant strains in mouse models of infection. These data indicate a potential role for regulation of flagella in Brucella melitensis via cyclic-di-GMP.

Nitric oxide signaling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms mediates phosphodiesterase activity, decreased cyclic di-GMP levels, and enhanced dispersal.

Project description:Bacteria in biofilms often undergo active dispersal events and revert to a free-swimming, planktonic state to complete the biofilm life cycle. The signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) was previously found to trigger biofilm dispersal in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa at low, nontoxic concentrations (N. Barraud, D. J. Hassett, S. H. Hwang, S. A. Rice, S. Kjelleberg, and J. S. Webb, J. Bacteriol. 188:7344-7353, 2006). NO was further shown to increase cell motility and susceptibility to antimicrobials. Recently, numerous studies revealed that increased degradation of the secondary messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) by specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) triggers a planktonic mode of growth in eubacteria. In this study, the potential link between NO and c-di-GMP signaling was investigated by performing (i) PDE inhibitor studies, (ii) enzymatic assays to measure PDE activity, and (iii) direct quantification of intracellular c-di-GMP levels. The results suggest a role for c-di-GMP signaling in triggering the biofilm dispersal event induced by NO, as dispersal requires PDE activity and addition of NO stimulates PDE and induces the concomitant decrease in intracellular c-di-GMP levels in P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, gene expression studies indicated global responses to low, nontoxic levels of NO in P. aeruginosa biofilms, including upregulation of genes involved in motility and energy metabolism and downregulation of adhesins and virulence factors. Finally, site-directed mutagenesis of candidate genes and physiological characterization of the corresponding mutant strains uncovered that the chemotaxis transducer BdlA is involved in the biofilm dispersal response induced by NO.

Effects of magnesium on cyclic GMP hydrolysis by the bovine retinal rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase.

Project description:Knowledge of the kinetics of the rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase is essential for understanding the kinetics and gain of the light response. Therefore, the interactions between Mg2+, cyclic GMP, and purified, trypsin-activated bovine rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) were examined. The effects of Mg2+ and of cyclic GMP on the rod phosphodiesterase activity were mutually concentration-dependent. Formation of a free Mg-cyclic GMP complex is unlikely due to its high dissociation constant (Kd = 19 mM). Plots of 1/velocity versus 1/[cyclic GMP] as a function of [Mg2+] and 1/velocity versus 1/[Mg2+] as a function of [cyclic GMP] intersected to the left of the 1/velocity axis. This is consistent with the formation of a ternary complex between the phosphodiesterase, Mg2+, and cyclic GMP. A competitive inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase relative to cyclic GMP, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, non-competitively inhibited the enzyme relative to Mg2+, Pb2+, a competitive inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase relative to Mg2+ [D. Srivastava, R.L. Hurwitz and D. A. Fox (1995) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol, in the press] non-competitively inhibited the enzyme relative to cyclic GMP. Collectively these results are suggestive of a rapid equilibrium random binding order of Mg2+ and cyclic GMP to the rod phosphodiesterase.

Phosphorylation of bovine rod photoreceptor cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase.

Project description:The cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) of retinal rods plays a key role in phototransduction and consists of two catalytic subunits (PDE alpha and PDE beta) and two identical inhibitory subunits (PDE gamma). Here we report that PDE alpha and PDE gamma are phosphorylated by protein kinase(s) C (PKC) from brain and rod outer segments (ROS). These same two types of PKC also phosphorylate PDE alpha in trypsin-activated PDE (without PDE gamma). In contrast, cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit phosphorylates both PDE alpha and PDE beta, but not PDE gamma. This kinase does not phosphorylate trypsin-activated PDE. The synthetic peptides AKVISNLLGPREAAV (PDE alpha 30-44) and KQRQTRQFKSKPPKK (PDE gamma 31-45) inhibited phosphorylation of PDE by PKC from ROS. These data suggest that sites (at least one for each subunit) for phosphorylation of PDE by PKC are localized in these corresponding regions of PDE alpha and PDE gamma. Isoenzyme-specific PKC antibodies against peptides unique to the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon and zeta isoforms of protein kinase C were used to show that a major form of PKC in ROS is PKC alpha. However, other minor forms were also present.

The metabolism of cyclic nucleotides in the guinea-pig pancreas. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase.

Project description:Both cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase were recovered mainly from the supernatant fractions of guinea-pig pancreas, but a higher proportion of the activity of the former was associated with the pellet fractions. The activities in the supernatant were not separated by gel filtration, but were clearly separated by subsequent chromatography on an anion-exchange resin. The activities of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase had high-affinity (K(m) 6.5+/-1.1mum and 31.9+/-3.9mum respectively) and low-affinity (K(m) 0.56+/-0.05mm and 0.32+/-0.03mm respectively) components. The activity of neither enzyme was affected by the pancreatic secretogens, cholecystokinin-pancreozymin, secretin and carbachol. Removal of ions by gel filtration resulted in a marked reduction in cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity, which could be restored by addition of Mg(2+). Mn(2+) (3mm) was as effective as Mg(2+) (3mm) in the case of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, but was less than half as effective in the case of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase. The metal-ion chelators, EDTA and EGTA, also decreased activity. Ca(2+) (1mm) did not affect the activity of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase when the concentration of Mg(2+) was 3mm. At concentrations of Mg(2+) between 0.1 and 1mm, 1mm-Ca(2+) was activatory, and at concentrations of Mg(2+) below 0.1mm, 1mm-Ca(2+) was inhibitory. These results are discussed in terms of the possible significance of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in the physiological control of cyclic nucleotide concentrations during stimulus-secretion coupling.

Regulation of Exopolysaccharide Production by ProE, a Cyclic-Di-GMP Phosphodiesterase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Project description:The ubiquitous second messenger c-di-GMP is involved in regulation of multiple biological functions including the important extracellular matrix exopolysaccharides (EPS). But how c-di-GMP metabolic proteins influence EPS and their enzymatic properties are not fully understood. Here we showed that deletion of proE, which encodes a protein with GGDEF-EAL hybrid domains, significantly increased the transcriptional expression of the genes encoding EPS production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and changed the bacterial colony morphology. Our data showed that ProE is a very active phosphodiesterase (PDE), with a high enzyme activity in degradation of c-di-GMP. Interestingly, the optimal activity of ProE was found in the presence of Co2+, unlike other PDEs that commonly rely on Mg2+ or Mn2+ for best performance. Furthermore, we identified three widely conserved novel residues that are critical for the function of ProE through site-directed mutagenesis. Subsequent study showed that ProE, together with other three key PDEs, i.e., RbdA, BifA, and DipA regulate the EPS production in P. aeruginosa PAO1. Moreover, by using the GFP-fusion approach, we observed that these four EPS associated-PDEs showed a polar localization pattern in general. Taken together, our data unveil the molecular mechanisms of ProE in regulation of EPS production, and provide a new insight on its enzymatic properties in degradation of c-di-GMP.
