title: Signal transduction: regulation of cAMP concentration in cardiac muscle by calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.
abstract: The bovine heart calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase can be phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, resulting in a decrease in the enzyme's affinity for calmodulin. The phosphorylation of calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase is blocked by Ca2+ and calmodulin and reversed by the calmodulin-dependent phosphatase. The dephosphorylation is accompanied by an increase in the affinity of the phosphodiesterase for calmodulin. The CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase isozymes of heart and brain are regulated by calmodulin, but the affinity for calmodulin are different. Furthermore, the bovine heart CaM-dependent phosphodiesterase isozyme in stimulated at much lower Ca2+ concentration than the bovine brain isozymes. Results from this study suggest that the activity of this phosphodiesterase is precisely regulated by cross-talk between Ca2+ and cAMP signalling pathways.
