- The human platelet cilostamide- and cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) was rapidly purified approximately 19,000-fold to apparent homogeneity using single step affinity chromatography on the isothiocyanate derivative of cilostamide coupled to aminoethyl agarose. Within 24 h, 30 micrograms of enzyme protein was obtained from 20 ml of packed platelets. Vmax for cAMP and cGMP was 6.1 and 0.9 mumol/min per mg protein, respectively. Several polypeptides (110/105, 79, 62, 55/53 kDa) were identified after SDS-PAGE, all of which were immunologically related to cGI-PDE and represented approx. 5, 20, 50 and 20% of the total protein, respectively. Limited proteolysis of the cGI-PDE with chymotrypsin produced a major fragment of approximately 47 kDa (and at least two smaller peptides) with catalytic activity and sensitivity to cGMP and OPC 3911 similar to controls. Phosphorylation of the cGI-PDE by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) resulted in maximal incorporation of 0.6-1.8 mol of 32P/mol 110/105 and 79 kDa polypeptides; much lower and variable amounts of phosphate were incorporated into the 62 and 55/53 kDa polypeptides. After digestion of cGI-PDE with several proteinases a number of peptides were isolated and sequenced. Most of the peptide sequences obtained could be aligned within the carboxy terminal domain of the deduced sequence of the human cardiac cGI-PDE. These and other results suggest that the subunit size of the intact platelet cGI-PDE is 110 kDa and that proteolytic fragments of 79, 62 and 55/53 kDa are produced during purification. The smaller fragments (62 and 55/53 kDa) contain the catalytic domain; the larger fragments (110 and 79 kDa) also contain the regulatory domain with phosphorylation sites for A-kinase.

- The human hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) gene encodes a 786-aa polypeptide (85.5 kDa). It is composed of nine exons spanning approximately 11 kb, with exons 2-5 clustered in a 1.1-kb region. The putative catalytic site (Ser423) and a possible lipid-binding region in the C-terminal part are encoded by exons 6 and 9, respectively. Exon 8 encodes the phosphorylation site (Ser551) that controls cAMP-mediated activity and a second site (Ser553) that is phosphorylated by 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase. Human HSL showed 83% identity with the rat enzyme and contained a 12-aa deletion immediately upstream of the phosphorylation sites with an unknown effect on the activity control. Besides the catalytic site motif (Gly-Xaa-Ser-Xaa-Gly) found in most lipases, HSL shows no homology with other known lipases or proteins, except for a recently reported unexpected homology between the region surrounding its catalytic site and that of the lipase 2 of Moraxella TA144, an antarctic psychrotrophic bacterium. The gene of lipase 2, which catalyses lipolysis below 4 degrees C, was absent in the genomic DNA of five other Moraxella strains living at 37 degrees C. The lipase 2-like sequence in HSL may reflect an evolutionarily conserved cold adaptability that might be of critical survival value when low-temperature-mobilized endogenous lipids are the primary energy source (e.g., in poikilotherms or hibernators). The finding that HSL at 10 degrees C retained 3- to 5-fold more of its 37 degrees C catalytic activity than lipoprotein lipase or carboxyl ester lipase is consistent with this hypothesis.

- Insulin induced phosphorylation and activation of the cGMP inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) in human platelets were demonstrated after isolation of the enzyme with specific polyclonal cGI-PDE antibodies. The demonstration of this insulin effect required suppression of basal cGI-PDE phosphorylation, through the use of the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine). The human platelet insulin receptor beta-subunit, previously identified as a 97 kDa polypeptide, was detected with the use of wheat germ agglutinin chromatography and anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. These results suggest that insulin, through phosphorylation/activation of cGI-PDE, could decrease cAMP/cAMP dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) activity and thereby make the platelets more sensitive towards aggregating agents.

- We previously reported that insulin stimulation of human platelets induces serine phosphorylation and activation of the cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE). Here, we describe methods to detect and partially purify an insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase (cGI-PDE ISK) from lysates of platelets incubated with insulin. Incubation of human platelets with 10(-8) M insulin increased cGI-PDE ISK activity two-fold. The DEAE-Sephacel-purified cGI-PDE ISK phosphorylated the cGI-PDE on serine in a time- and concentration-dependent manner resulting in an increased incorporation of about 0.2 mol of [32P]/mol of cGI-PDE and 15-20% increase in cGI-PDE activity. The phosphorylation of cGI-PDE was not affected by 10 microM PKI, 1 microgram/ml of heparin, 3 mM CaCl2 or 1 mM MnCl2. cGI-PDE ISK did not adsorb to antiphosphotyrosine antibodies. To maintain its activation it was necessary to add protein phosphatase inhibitors to the lysate-buffers. All of these findings are consistent with the conclusion that a serine/threonine phosphorylation of the cGI-PDE ISK is involved in its activation by insulin.

- Incubation of rat adipocytes with wortmannin, a potent and selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) inhibitor, completely blocked the antilipolytic action of insulin (IC50 = 100 nM), the insulin-induced activation and phosphorylation of cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) as well as the activation of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase (IC50 = 10-30 nM). No direct effects of the inhibitor on the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase, the cGI-PDE and the hormone-sensitive lipase were observed. These data suggest that activation of PI 3-kinase upstream of the insulin-stimulated cGI-PDE kinase in the antilipolytic insulin signalchain has an essential role for insulin-induced cGI-PDE activation/phosphorylation and anti-lipolysis.

- Rat adipocyte cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) appears to be dually regulated in intact cells by serine phosphorylations induced by isoprenaline and insulin, respectively (Degerman, E., Smith, C. J., Tornqvist, H., Vasta, V., Belfrage, P., and Manganiello, V. C. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 533-537; Smith, C. J., Vasta, V., Degerman, E., Belfrage, P., and Manganiello, V. C. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 13385-13390). Since cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK) catalyzes the beta-adrenergic effects, the site in the isolated cGI-PDE phosphorylated by this kinase was explored. A peptide, LRRSSGASGLLTSEHHSR (P18), corresponding to the amino acid sequence Leu423-Arg440 in the putative regulatory domain of the rat adipocyte cGI-PDE was synthesized. It contains a consensus substrate sequence -RRXS- for cAMP-PK within two tryptic cleavage sites and was readily phosphorylated by cAMP-PK. Two phosphopeptides, identified as RS-[32P]SGASGLLTSEHHSR and S-[32P]SGASGLLTSEHHSR, were obtained after stoichiometric phosphorylation and trypsinization of the peptide. These two peptides and the two main tryptic phosphopeptides obtained from immunoisolated [32P]cGI-PDE phosphorylated with cAMP-PK in a solubilized crude adipocyte membrane fraction were immuno-precipitated by an affinity-purified polyclonal antibody raised against P18 and exhibited the same chromatographic and electrophoretic profiles in three different separation systems. Similar radiosequencing profiles indicated that the second most N-terminal serine, corresponding to Ser-427 in the intact cGI-PDE, was phosphorylated by cAMP-PK in both P18 and authentic cGI-PDE. It is concluded that serine 427 is the target for cAMP-PK phosphorylation of the rat adipocyte cGI-PDE in vitro.

- Pure cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) in micrograms quantities was isolated from bovine aortic smooth muscle after more than 5000-fold purification using DEAE ion-exchange and affinity chromatography with a derivative of the specific cGI-PDE inhibitor cilostamide conjugated as a ligand to aminoethyl agarose (CIT-agarose). The cGI-PDE, which constituted about half of the high affinity cAMP-PDE activity of a tissue homogenate, was identified with a 105-kDa protein on SDS-PAGE through use of antibodies towards the human platelet, bovine cardiac and bovine adipose tissue cGI-PDE in Western blot and immunoprecipitation/immunoinactivation analysis. As observed during purification of the enzyme from other tissues the enzyme protein was exquisitely sensitive to proteolytic nicking during purification, resulting in several 30-77-kDa polypeptide fragments. Rapid immunoprecipitation from fresh tissue extracts was the only was found to partially prevent the proteolysis. The native enzyme had apparent molecular sizes of approx. 100,000 or, mainly approx. 220,000 by gel chromatography, presumably indicating the presence of monomeric and dimeric forms. The enzyme hydrolyzed cAMP and cGMP with normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics with Km of 0.16 and 0.09 microM, respectively, with Vmax for hydrolysis of cAMP of 0.3 compared to 3.1 mumol/min per mg protein for cAMP. The enzyme was potently and selectively inhibited by cGMP (IC50 approximately 0.25 microM) and the cardiotonic/vasodilatory drugs OPC-3911 (a cilostamide derivative), milrinone and CI-930 (IC50 approximately 0.05, 0.40 and 0.25 microM, respectively). The cGI-PDE was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase as has been reported for the analogous enzymes in heart, adipose tissue and platelets. The identification of a cGI-PDE in the aortic smooth muscle and its inhibitor specificity is consistent with the hypothesis that inhibition of this enzyme is important in the mechanism through which these drugs produce vasorelaxation.
