Abstract

Calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase was purified to apparent homogeneity from the total calmodulin-binding fraction of bovine heart in a single step by immunoaffinity chromatography. The isolated enzyme had significantly higher affinity for calmodulin than the bovine brain 60-kDa phosphodiesterase isozyme. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase was found to catalyze the phosphorylation of the purified cardiac calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase with the incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit. The phosphodiesterase phosphorylation rate was increased severalfold by histidine without affecting phosphate incorporation into the enzyme. Phosphorylation of phosphodiesterase lowered its affinity for calmodulin and Ca2+. At constant saturating concentrations of calmodulin (650 nM), the phosphorylated calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase required a higher concentration of Ca2+ (20 microM) than the nonphosphorylated phosphodiesterase (0.8 microM) for 50% activity. Phosphorylation could be reversed by the calmodulin-dependent phosphatase (calcineurin), and dephosphorylation was accompanied by an increase in the affinity of phosphodiesterase for calmodulin.
