To identify functional domains of the 886-amino acid human recombinant cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE) subtype A (rhPDE4A), we engineered the expression of seven mutant proteins containing both NH2- and COOH-terminal truncations. The level of rhPDE4A protein expression in yeast was monitored by immunoblotting using enzyme-specific antisera. Biochemical profiles of the mutant proteins were compared with those of the full-length protein or a fully active truncated form of the enzyme (rhPDE4A Met265-886), lacking the first 264 amino acids. The smallest catalytically active fragment generated was Met332-722, which at 45 kDa is less than half the mass of the full-length enzyme (approximately 110 kDa) but spans the most highly conserved region of the PDE superfamily. Two prototypical PDE4 inhibitors, rolipram and RP 73401, inhibited cAMP hydrolyzing activity of all truncated forms of the enzyme, with IC50 values of 70-2000 nM and 0.2-0.6 nM, respectively. [3H](R)-Rolipram bound to two sites on Met265-886, a high affinity site (Kd1 = 0.7 +/- 0.3 nM) and a low affinity site (Kd2 = 34 +/- 10 nM). Interestingly, [3H](R)-rolipram failed to bind to Met332-886 with high affinity, indicating that high affinity binding is not required for inhibition of enzyme activity. Low affinity rolipram binding was still present in Met332-886 (Kd = 101 +/- 7 nM). In contrast to [3H](R)-rolipram, [3H]RP 73401 bound to a single class of high affinity sites on Met265-886 (Kd = 0.4 +/- 0.1 nM). Further truncation of the enzyme to Met332-886 had no effect on [3H]RP 73401 binding (Kd = 0.2 +/- 0.03 nM). We conclude that the catalytic center of rhPDE4A lies between amino acids 332 and 722. Furthermore, amino acids 265-332 may form a high affinity binding site for rolipram that is outside of the catalytic domain. As a more likely alternative, these amino acids may not form a distinct binding site but instead may be required for the recombinant enzyme to assume a conformation that binds rolipram at the catalytic domain with a high affinity.
