Jc. Oconnell et al., THE SH3 DOMAIN OF SRC TYROSYL PROTEIN-KINASE INTERACTS WITH THE N-TERMINAL SPLICE REGION OF THE PDE4A CAMP-SPECIFIC PHOSPHODIESTERASE RPDE-6 (RNPDE4A5), Biochemical journal, 318, 1996, pp. 255-261
The PDE4A (type IV) cAMP-specific, rolipram-inhibited phosphodiesteras
e RPDE-6 (RNPDE4A5), when transiently expressed in COS7 cells, could b
e complexed with the v-Src-SH3 domain expressed as a glutathione S-tra
nsferase (GST) fusion protein. RPDE-6 did not interact with GST itself
. This complex was not disrupted by treatment with high NaCl concentra
tion together with Triton X-100. Interaction was apparently determined
by the N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, as the PDE4A splice varian
t RPDE-39, which differs from RPDE-6 at the extreme N-terminus, failed
to associate with v-Src-SH3; met(26)RD1 (where RD1 is rat 'dune-like'
PDE), which has the N-terminal splice region deleted, failed to assoc
iate with v-Src-SH3, and the association of RPDE-6 and v-Src-SH3 was b
locked by a fusion protein formed from the N-terminal splice region. R
DPE-6 showed binding to GST fusion proteins of both the intact Src kin
ase and an SH2-SH3 construct but did not bind to the Src-SH2 domain or
to the adaptor protein Grb-2. RPDE-6 could be co-immunoprecipitated f
rom cytosol extracts of transfected cells by using anti-Src antiserum.
RPDE-6 exhibited selectivity in binding to the SH3 domains of c-Abl,
Crk, Csk, Lck, Lyn, Fyn and v-Src, with binding to the SH3 regions of
the Src-related tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn being the most effective.
The binding of RPDE-6 to the SH3 domains of Crk, Csk and Lck led to a
marked reduction in PDE activity, but no change was apparent in comple
xes with other species. Endogenous RPDE-6 from brain, but not endogeno
us RPDE-39 from testis, bound to the Src-SH3 domain. We suggest that t
he PDE4A splice variant RPDE-6 has a propensity for interaction with s
elective SH3 domains, in particular those from Src and the Src-related
tyrosyl kinases Lyn and Fyn. This interaction seems to be governed by
alternative splicing of the PDE4A gene, because RPDE-39, a splice var
iant that lacks the proline-rich N-terminal splice region of RPDE-6, d
oes not interact with these SH3 domains. It is proposed that the bindi
ng site on RPDE-6 for SH3 domains lies within the unique first 102 res
idues of its N-terminal splice domain, where two motifs representing C
lass I SH3 binding sites with selectivity for Src kinase SH3 domains c
an be identified and one motif for a putative Class II SH3 binding sit
