CRISPR/Cas9 Knock-Out in Primary Neonatal and Adult Cardiomyocytes Reveals Distinct cAMP Dynamics Regulation by Various PDE2A and PDE3A Isoforms

open access: yesCells, 2023
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases 2A (PDE2A) and PDE3A play an important role in the regulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-to-cAMP crosstalk. Each of these PDEs has up to three distinct isoforms.

The role of Phosphodiesterase-1 and its natural product inhibitors in Alzheimer’s disease: A review

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Phosphodiesterase-1 (PDE1) is a versatile enzyme that has surprisingly received considerable attention as a possible therapeutic target in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) because it maintains the homeostasis of 3ʹ,5ʹ-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3ʹ,

Dysregulated Cyclic Nucleotide Metabolism in Alcohol-Associated Steatohepatitis: Implications for Novel Targeted Therapies

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Background: Cyclic nucleotides are second messengers, which play significant roles in numerous biological processes. Previous work has shown that cAMP and cGMP signaling regulates various pathways in liver cells, including Kupffer cells, hepatocytes ...

A preliminary study of phosphodiesterases and adenylyl cyclase signaling pathway on red blood cell deformability of sickle cell patients

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by chronic anemia, intravascular hemolysis, and the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crises due to the mechanical obstruction of the microcirculation by poorly deformable red blood ...

Identification and Characterization of Four c-di-GMP-Metabolizing Enzymes from Streptomyces ghanaensis ATCC14672 Involved in the Regulation of Morphogenesis and Moenomycin A Biosynthesis

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential enzymes deputed to maintain the intracellular homeostasis of the second messenger cyclic dimeric (3′→5′) GMP (c-di-GMP).

The role of type 4 phosphodiesterases in generating microdomains of cAMP: Large scale stochastic simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and its main effector Protein Kinase A (PKA) are critical for several aspects of neuronal function including synaptic plasticity. Specificity of synaptic plasticity requires that cAMP activates PKA in a highly localized manner despite ...

The Sequence and a Three-Dimensional Structural Analysis Reveal Substrate Specificity among Snake Venom Phosphodiesterases

open access: yesToxins, 2019
(1) Background. Snake venom phosphodiesterases (SVPDEs) are among the least studied venom enzymes. In envenomation, they display various pathological effects, including induction of hypotension, inhibition of platelet aggregation, edema, and paralysis ...

PDE2 activity differs in right and left rat ventricular myocardium and differentially regulates β2 adrenoceptor-mediated effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The important regulator of cardiac function, cAMP, is hydrolyzed by different cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), whose expression and activity are not uniform throughout the heart. Of these enzymes, PDE2 shapes β1 adrenoceptor-dependent cardiac
