Abstract: | The spatiotemporal regulation of cAMP can generate microdomains just beneath the plasma membrane where cAMP increases are larger and more dynamic than those seen globally. Real-time measurements of cAMP using mutant cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel biosensors, pharmacological tools and RNA interference (RNAi) were employed to demonstrate a subplasmalemmal cAMP signaling module in living cells. Transient cAMP increases were observed upon stimulation of HEK293 cells with prostaglandin E1. However, pretreatment with selective inhibitors of type 4 phosphodiesterases (PDE4), protein kinase A (PKA) or PKA/A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) interaction blocked an immediate return of subplasmalemmal cAMP to basal levels. Knockdown of specific membrane-associated AKAPs using RNAi identified gravin (AKAP250) as the central organizer of the PDE4 complex. Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed that gravin maintains a signaling complex that includes PKA and PDE4D. We propose that gravin-associated PDE4D isoforms provide a means to rapidly terminate subplasmalemmal cAMP signals with concomitant effects on localized ion channels or enzyme activities. |
