The cyclic monophosphate nucleotides, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are found ubiquitously in mammalian cells and act as second messenger transducers to effect the intracellular actions of a variety of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) for hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters. Cyclic nucleotides are important intracellular second messengers which play important role in a variety of signal transduction process. The cyclic nucleotides are hydrolyzed and compartmentalized by a family of enzymes called phosphodieterases. One of the many phosphodiesterases that compartmentalized and hydrolyze cGMP in various tissues is phosphodiesterase type 5A (POE5A). The cGMP is involved in nitric oxide signaling as well as cell signaling associated with natriuretic peptides and gulanylins. Some of the intracellular biding cites for the cGMP include cyclic nucleotide gated ion channels, cGMP-dependent protein kinases, and cyclic GMP biding phosphodiesterases (cGB-POEs). The cGB-POEs include POE2, POE3, POE5 and POE10; the members of these families contain various structural and functional motifs that are conserved. Most of these proteins contain dimmeric subunits that contain a highly conserved cGMP binding site and a phosphodiesterase catalytic site. The cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type-5A (POE5A) family is comprised of single gene with multiple splice variants (POE5A1 and POE5A2) generated by RNA splicing and use the of alternate initiation sites (1,2). POE5 is highly expressed in aorta, lungs, intestine, kidney adrenal gland, cerebellum, and cerebrum. In cerebellum, the POE5 is highly expressed during neonatal development in Purkinje cells layer. POE5 is also abundant in vascular smooth muscle regulating cGMP levels and vascular smooth muscle tonicity. In corpus cavernosum inhibition of POE5 by sildenafil corrects erectile dysfunctions. The nitric oxide donor sodium notropurside (SNP) stimulate POE5 activity by cGMP-dependent kinase phosphorylation (Rybalkin et. aI. , 2002; Murthy 2001). POE5Al has 875 amino acids (99.5 kDa). The amino terminal 142 amino acid of the POE5 gene showed no sequence homology with other POEs and also contained serine 92 that is phosphorylated by cGMP-kinases (MCAllister et aI. , 93). A phospho-specific POE5A antibody was generated against the conserved PKG phosphorylation site.
The affinity purified antibody labels POE5A proteins when they are phosphorylated at Ser92 by PKG. The POE5-selective antibody was generated using cyclic peptide methodology that results in higher titer and specificity (3). The POE5-selective antibodies are generated against peptides from unique sequences on the POE5A gene. The affinity purified antibody labels 99 and 89 kDa POE5A 1 and POE5A2 proteins using POE5A WB positive controls. The POE5A-specific antiserum has no cross reactivity against POE5B protein or any other member of the fast growing family of POEs.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. This phosphodiesterase specifically hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. It is involved in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides and is important for smooth muscle relaxation in the cardiovascular system. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PDE5A: a cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. This phosphodiesterase specifically hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. It is involved in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic nucleotides and is important for smooth muscle relaxation in the cardiovascular system. Phosphorylation is regulated by binding of cGMP to the two allosteric sites. Sildenafil (Viagra) is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of PDE5A. Alternative splicing results in four transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
