Abstract

Isoproterenol challenge of Hek-B2 cells causes a transient recruitment of the endogenous PDE4D isoforms found in these cells, namely PDE4D3 and PDE4D5, to the membrane fraction. PDE4D5 provides around 80% of the total PDE4D protein so recruited, although it only comprises about 40% of the total PDE4D protein in Hek-B2 cells. PDE4D5 provides about 80% of the total PDE4D protein found associated with beta-arrestins immunopurified from Hek-B2, COS1, and A549 cells as well as cardiac myocytes, whereas its overall level in these cells is between 15 and 50% of the total PDE4D protein. Truncation analyses indicate that two sites in PDE4D5 are involved in mediating its interaction with beta-arrestins, one associated with the common PDE4 catalytic region and the other located within its unique amino-terminal region. Truncation analyses indicate that two sites in beta-arrestin 2 are involved in mediating its interaction with PDE4D5, one associated with its extreme amino-terminal region and the other located within the carboxyl-terminal domain of the protein. We suggest that the unique amino-terminal region of PDE4D5 allows it to preferentially interact with beta-arrestins. This specificity appears likely to account for the preferential recruitment of PDE4D5, compared with PDE4D3, to membranes of Hek-B2 cells and cardiac myocytes upon challenge with isoproterenol.
