Phosphodiesterase 8A

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyze 3', 5' cyclic nucleotides to their respective nucleoside 5' monophosphates. The cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are synthesized by adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases, respectively, and serve as second messengers in a number of cellular signalling pathways. The duration and strength of the second messenger signal is a function of the rate of synthesis and the rate of hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotide.
Multiple families of PDEs have been identified. The nomenclature system includes first a number that indicates the PDE family. To date, seven families (PDE1-7) are known which are classified by: (i) primary structure; (ii) substrate preference; (iii) response to different modulators; (iv) sensitivity to specific inhibitors; and (v) modes of regulation �Loughney and Ferguson, in Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors, Schudt, et al. (Eds.), Academic Press: New York, N.Y. (1996) pp. 1-19!. The number indicating the family is followed by a capital letter, indicating a distinct gene, and the capital letter followed by a second number, indicating a specific splice variant or a specific transcript which utilizes a unique transcription initiation site.
The amino acid sequences of all mammalian PDEs identified to date include a highly conserved region of approximately 270 amino acids located in the carboxy terminal half of the protein �Charbonneau, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 83:9308-9312 (1986)!. The conserved domain includes the catalytic site for cAMP and/or cGMP hydrolysis and two putative zinc binding sites as well as family specific determinants �Beavo, Physiol. Rev. 75:725-748 (1995); Francis, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:22477-22480 (1994)!. The amino terminal regions of the various PDEs are highly variable and include other family specific determinants such as: (i) calmodulin binding sites (PDE1); (ii) non-catalytic cyclic GMP binding sites (PDE2, PDE5, PDE6); (iii) membrane targeting sites (PDE4); (iv) hydrophobic membrane association sites (PDE3); and (v) phosphorylation sites for either the calmodulin-dependent kinase II (PDE1), the cAMP-dependent kinase (PDE1, PDE3, PDE4), or the cGMP dependent kinase (PDE5) �Beavo, Physiol. Rev. 75:725-748 (1995); Manganiello, et al., Arch. Biochem. Acta 322:1-13 (1995); Conti, et al., Physiol. Rev. 75:723-748 (1995)!.
Members of the PDE1 family are activated by calcium-calmodulin. Three genes have been identified; PDE1A and PDE1B preferentially hydrolyze cGMP while PDE1C has been shown to exhibit a high affinity for both cAMP and cGMP. The PDE2 family is characterized as being specifically stimulated by cGMP �Loughney and Ferguson, supra!. Only one gene has been identified, PDE2A, the enzyme product of which is specifically inhibited by erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA). Enzymes in the PDE3 family are specifically inhibited by cGMP. Two genes are known, PDE3A and PDE3B, both having high affinity for both cAMP and cGMP, although the V.sub.max for cGMP hydrolysis is low enough that cGMP functions as a competitive inhibitor for cAMP hydrolysis. PDE3 enzymes are specifically inhibited by milrinone and enoximone �Loughney and Ferguson, supra!. The PDE4 family effects cAMP hydrolysis and includes four genes, PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, and PDE4D, each having multiple splice variants. Members of this family are specifically inhibited by the anti-depressant drug rolipram. Members of PDE5 family bind cGMP at non-catalytic sites and preferentially hydrolyze cGMP. Only one gene, PDE5A, has been identified. The photoreceptor PDE6 enzymes specifically hydrolyze cGMP �Loughney and Ferguson, supra!. Genes include PDE6A and PDE6B (the protein products of which dimerize and bind two copies of a smaller .gamma. inhibitory subunit to form rod PDE), in addition to PDE6C which associates with three smaller proteins to form cone PDE. The PDE7 family effects cAMP hydrolysis but, in contrast to the PDE4 family, is not inhibited by rolipram �Loughney and Ferguson, supra!. Only one gene, PDE7A, has been identified.
Given the importance of cAMP and cGMP in intracellular second messenger signalling, there thus exists an ongoing need in the art to identify addition PDE species. Identification of heretofore unknown families of PDEs, and genes and splice variants thereof, will provide additional pharmacological approaches to treating conditions in which cyclic nucleotide pathways are aberrant as well as conditions in which modulation of intracellular cAMP and/or cGMP levels in certain cell types is desirable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In brief, the present invention provides polypeptides and underlying polynucleotides for a novel PDE family designated PDE8. The invention includes both naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring PDE8 polynucleotides and polypeptide products thereof. Naturally occurring PDE8 products include distinct gene and polypeptide species within the PDE8 family (i.e., PDE8A); these species include those which are expressed within cells of the same animal and well as corresponding species homologs expressed in cells of other animals. Within each PDE8 species, the invention further provides splice variants encoded by the same polynucleotide but which arise from distinct mRNA transcripts (i.e., PDE8A1 and PDE8A2). Non-naturally occurring PDE8 products include variants of the naturally occurring products such as analogs (i.e., wherein one or more amino acids are added, substituted, or deleted) and those PDE8 products which include covalent modifications (i.e., fusion proteins, glycolsylation variants, Met.sup.-1 PDE8s, Met.sup.-2 -Lys.sup.-1 -PDE8s, Gly.sup.-1 PDE8s and the like). The PDE8 family is distinguished from previously known PDE families in exhibiting high affinity for hydrolysis of both cAMP and cGMP but relatively low sensitivity to enzyme inhibitors specific for other PDE families. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a polynucleotide comprising the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1. The invention also embraces polynucleotides encoding the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2. A presently preferred polypeptide of the invention comprises the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2. The invention provides two splice variant cDNAs which give rise to two polypeptides designated PDE8A1 and PDE8A2. PDE8A1 and PDE8A2 polypeptides, and the polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, are discussed herein as representative of the PDE8 enzyme family embraced by the invention.
The present invention provides novel purified and isolated polynucleotides (e.g., DNA sequences and RNA transcripts, both sense and complementary antisense strands, including splice variants thereof) encoding the human PDE8s. DNA sequences of the invention include genomic and cDNA sequences as well as wholly or partially chemically synthesized DNA sequences. "Synthesized," as used herein and is understood in the art, refers to purely chemical, as opposed to enzymatic, methods for producing polynucleotides. "Wholly" synthesized DNA sequences are therefore produced entirely by chemical means, and "partially" synthesized DNAs embrace those wherein only portions of the resulting DNA were produced by chemical means. A preferred DNA sequence encoding a human PDE8 polypeptide is set out in SEQ ID NO: 1. Also preferred are polynucleotides encoding the PBE8 polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2 and the PDE8A1 and PDE8A2 splice variant polypeptides set out in SEQ ID NOs: 4 and 6, respectively. Preferred polynucleotides encoding PDE8A1 and PDE8A2 are set out in SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 5, respectively. The invention further embraces species, preferably mammalian, homologs of the human PDE8 DNA.
The invention also embraces DNA sequences encoding PDE8 species which hybridize under moderately stringent conditions to the non-coding strands, or complements, of the polynucleotides in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 3 and 5. DNA sequences encoding PDE8A polypeptides which would hybridize thereto but for the redundancy of the genetic code are contemplated by the invention. Exemplary moderate hybridization conditions are as follows: hybridization at 65.degree. C. in 3.times.SSC, 0.1% sarkosyl, and 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, and washing at 65.degree. C. in 2.times.SSC with 0.1% SDS. It is understood in the art that conditions of equivalent stringency can be achieved through variation of temperature and buffer, or salt concentration as described Ausebel, et al. (Eds.), Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons (1994), pp. 6.0.3 to 6.4.10. Modifications in hybridization conditions can be empirically determined or precisely calculated based on the length and the percentage of guanosine/cytosine (GC) base pairing of the probe. The hybridization conditions can be calculated as described in Sambrook, et al., (Eds.), Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press: Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989), pp. 9.47 to 9.51.
Autonomously replicating recombinant expression constructions such as plasmid and viral DNA vectors incorporating PDE8 sequences are also provided. Expression constructs wherein PDE8-encoding polynucleotides are operatively linked to an endogenous or exogenous expression control DNA sequence and a transcription terminator are also provided.
According to another aspect of the invention, host cells are provided, including procaryotic and eukaryotic cells, either stably or transiently transformed with DNA sequences of the invention in a manner which permits expression of PDE8 polypeptides of the invention. Host cells of the invention are a valuable source of immunogen for development of antibodies specifically immunoreactive with PDE8. Host cells of the invention are also conspicuously useful in methods for large scale production of PDE8 polypeptides wherein the cells are grown in a suitable culture medium and the desired polypeptide products are isolated from the cells or from the medium in which the cells are grown by, for example, immunoaffinity purification.
Knowledge of PDE8 DNA sequences allows for modification of cells to permit, or increase, expression of endogenous PDE8. Cells can be modified (e.g., by homologous recombination) to provide increased PDE8 expression by replacing, in whole or in part, the naturally occurring PDE8 promoter with all or part of a heterologous promoter so that the cells express PDE8 at higher levels. The heterologous promoter is inserted in such a manner that it is operatively-linked to PDE8 encoding sequences. See, for example, PCT International Publication No. WO 94/12650, PCT International Publication No. WO 92/20808, and PCT International Publication No. 91/09955. The invention also contemplates that, in addition to heterologous promoter DNA, amplifiable marker DNA (e.g., ada, dhfr, and the multifunctional CAD gene which encodes carbamyl phosphate synthase, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase) and/or intron DNA may be inserted along with the heterologous promoter DNA. If linked to the PDE8 coding sequence, amplification of the marker DNA by standard selection methods results in co-amplification of the PDE8 coding sequences in the cells.
The DNA sequence information provided by the present invention also makes possible the development through, e.g. homologous recombination or "knock-out" strategies �Capecchi, Science 244:1288-1292 (1989)!, of animals that fail to express functional PDE8 or that express a variant of PDE8. Such animals are useful as models for studying the in vivo activities of PDE8 and modulators of PDE8.
The invention also provides purified and isolated mammalian PDE8 polypeptides. Presently preferred PDE8A polypeptides are set out in SEQ ID NOs: 4 and 6. Most preferred is a PDE8 polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2. PDE8 polypeptides of the invention may be isolated from natural cell sources or may be chemically synthesized, but are preferably produced by recombinant procedures involving host cells of the invention. Use of mammalian host cells is expected to provide for such post-translational modifications (e.g., glycosylation, truncation, lipidation, and phosphorylation) as may be needed to confer optimal biological activity on recombinant expression products of the invention. PDE8 products of the invention may be full length polypeptides, biologically active fragments, or variants thereof which retain specific PDE8 biological activity. Variants may comprise PDE8 polypeptide analogs wherein one or more of the specified (i.e., naturally encoded) amino acids is deleted or replaced or wherein one or more non-specified amino acids are added: (1) without loss of one or more of the biological activities or immunological characteristics specific for PDE8; or (2) with specific disablement of a particular biological activity of PDE8.
Variant products of the invention include mature PDE8A products, i.e., PDE8 products wherein leader or signal sequences are removed, having additional amino terminal residues. PDE8 products having an additional methionine residue at position -1 (Met.sup.-1 -PDE8) are contemplated, as are PDE8 products having additional methionine and lysine residues at positions -2 and -1 (Met.sup.-2 -Lys.sup.-1 -PDE8). Variants of these types are particularly useful for recombinant protein production in bacterial cell types.
The invention also embraces PDE8 variants having additional amino acid residues which result from use of specific expression systems. For example, use of commercially available vectors that express a desired polypeptide such as a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion product provide the desired polypeptide having an additional glycine residue at position -1 as a result of cleavage of the GST component from the desired polypeptide. Variants which result from expression in other vector systems are also contemplated.
The invention further embraces PDE8 products modified to include one or more water soluble polymer attachments. Particularly preferred are PDE8 products covalently modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) subunits. Water soluble polymers may be bonded at specific positions, for example at the amino terminus of the PDE8 products, or randomly attached to one or more side chains of the polypeptide.
Also comprehended by the present invention are antibodies (e.g., monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, single chain antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies and the like) and other binding proteins specific for PDE8 products or fragments thereof. Specific binding proteins can be developed using isolated or recombinant PDE8 products, PDE8 variants, or cells expressing such products. Binding proteins are useful for purifying PDE8 products and detection or quantification of PDE8 products in fluid and tissue samples using known immunological procedures. Binding proteins are also manifestly useful in modulating (i.e., blocking, inhibiting or stimulating) biological activities of PDE8, especially those activities involved in signal transduction. Anti-idiotypic antibodies specific for anti-PDE8 antibodies are also contemplated.
The scientific value of the information contributed through the disclosures of DNA and amino acid sequences of the present invention is manifest. As one series of examples, knowledge of the sequence of a cDNA for PDE8A makes possible through use of Southern hybridization or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the identification of genomic DNA sequences encoding PDE8 and PDE8 expression control regulatory sequences such as promoters, operators, enhancers, repressors, and the like. DNA/DNA hybridization procedures carried out with DNA sequences of the invention under moderately to highly stringent conditions are likewise expected to allow the isolation of DNAs encoding allelic variants of PDE8A; allelic variants are known in the art to include structurally related proteins sharing one or more of the biochemical and/or immunological properties specific to PDE8A. Similarly, non-human species genes encoding proteins homologous to PDE8A can also be identified by Southern and/or PCR analysis. As an alternative, complementation studies can be useful for identifying other human PDE8 products as well as non-human proteins, and DNAs encoding the proteins, sharing one or more biological properties of PDE8A.
Polynucleotides of the invention are also useful in hybridization assays to detect the capacity of cells to express PDE8. Polynucleotides of the invention may also be the basis for diagnostic methods useful for identifying a genetic alteration(s) in a PDE8 locus that underlies a disease state or states.
Also made available by the invention are anti-sense polynucleotides which recognize and hybridize to polynucleotides encoding PDE8. Full length and fragment anti-sense polynucleotides are provided. Anti-sense polynucleotides are particularly relevant to regulating expression of PDE8 by those cells expressing PDE8 mRNA.
The DNA and amino acid sequence information provided by the present invention also makes possible the systematic analysis of the structure and function of PDE8s. DNA and amino acid sequence information for PDE8 also permits identification of molecules with which PDE8A will interact. Agents that modulate (i.e., increase, decrease, or block) PDE8 activity may be identified by incubating a putative modulator with PDE8 and determining the effect of the putative modulator on PDE8 phosphodiesterase activity. The selectivity of a compound that modulates the activity of the PDE8 can be evaluated by comparing its activity on the PDE8 to its activity on other PDE enzymes. Cell based methods, such as di-hybrid assays and split hybrid assays, as well as in vitro methods, including assays wherein a polypeptide or its binding partner are immobilized, and solution assays are contemplated by the invention.
Selective modulators may include, for example, antibodies and other proteins or peptides which specifically bind to the PDE8 or PDE8 nucleic acid, oligonucleotides which specifically bind to the PDE8 or PDE8 nucleic acid, and other non-peptide compounds (e.g., isolated or synthetic organic molecules) which specifically react with PDE8 or PDE8-encoding nucleic acid. Mutant forms of PDE8 which affect the enzymatic activity or cellular localization of the wild-type PDE8 are also contemplated by the invention. Presently preferred targets for the development of selective modulators include, for example: (1) regions of the PDE8 which contact other proteins and/or localize the PDE8 within a cell, (2) regions of the PDE8 which bind substrate, (3) allosteric cyclic nucleotide-binding site(s) of PDE8, (4) phosphorylation site(s) of PDE8 and (5) regions of the PDE8 which are involved in multimerization of PDE8 subunits. Modulators of PDE8 activity may be therapeutically useful in treatment of a wide range of diseases and physiological conditions in which PDE activity is known to be involved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Example 1 describes methods for searching expressed sequence tag (EST) databases in order to identify probes potentially useful for isolating DNAs of the invention. Example 2 relates to identification of PDE8A-encoding polynucleotides. Example 3 addresses sequence analysis of the isolated polynucleotides. Example 4 describes analysis of polypeptides encoded by the PDE8A polynucleotides. Example 5 addresses expression of recombinant PDE8A polypeptides. Example 6 relates to Northern analysis of PDE8A expression. Example 7 describes chromosome mapping of the gene encoding PDE8A.
EXAMPLE 1
Identification of an EST Related to a Human PDE
Using the sequences of known human, 3', 5' cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, a search of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) database was undertaken in order to identify cDNA fragments that could potentially be useful for the identification of novel phosphodiesterase (PDE) genes. This database contains DNA sequences representing one or both ends of cDNAs collected from a variety of tissue sources. A single sequencing run is performed on one or both ends of the CDNA and the quality of the DNA sequence varies tremendously. At the time the PDE searches were performed, the EST sequence database contained more than 600,000 cDNA sequences from a variety of organisms.
The search for novel PDE sequences included three steps. First the BLASTN program available through NCBI was used to identify DNA sequences in the EST sequence database with homology to cDNA sequences encoding known human PDEs. The program compares a nucleotide query sequence against a nucleotide sequence database. The cDNA sequences of the fifteen known human PDEs were submitted and fifteen BLASTN searches were performed; the query PDE sequences included PDE1A3 �Loughney, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:796-806 (1996)!, PDE1B1 �Yu, et al., Cell Signaling, in press (1997)!, PDE1C2 �Loughney, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:796-806 (1996)!, PDE2A3 �Rosman, et al., Gene 191:89-95 (1997)!, PDE3A �Meacci, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 89:3721-3725 (1992)!, PDE3B �Miki et al., Genomics 36:476-485 (1996)!, PDE4A5 �Bolger, et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:6558-6571 (1993)!, PDE4B2 �Bolger, et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:6558-6571 (1993)!, PDE4C �Bolger, et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:6558-6571 (1993)!, PDE4D1 and PDE4D3 �Bolger, et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:6558-6571 (1993)!, PDE5A, PDE6A �Pittler, et al., Genomics 6:272-283 (1990)!, PDE6B �Collins, et al., Genomics 13:698-704 (1992)!,PDE6C �Piriev, et al., Genomics 28:429-435 (1995), and PDE7A1 �Michaeli, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 17:12925-12932 (1993)!. The BLASTN results were examined and EST sequences that were judged as corresponding to each of the fifteen known PDE cDNAs were identified and collected into a table. The PDE6A and PDE6B sequences used as queries were truncated at 3' end (removing a portion of the 3' untranslated region) due to the presence of repetitive elements in the 3' untranslated region of the cDNAs.
Secondly, the NCBI TBLASTN program was used to examine the homology between the protein sequence of the fifteen known human PDEs (as above) and the six different possible proteins encoded by each of the EST DNA sequences. In this search, the EST sequences are translated in six frames and the amino acid sequences generated are compared to the query PDE amino acid sequences. Sequences identified as homologous at the amino acid level were examined and any EST sequences positively identified as corresponding to a known PDE during the BLASTN search described above were discarded.
The third step of the search involved analyzing the sequences that were not known PDEs. These amino acid sequences were homologous to a known PDE but were not identified as one of the 15 known PDE genes during the BLASTN searches.
The BLAST searches identified an EST sequence (designated WO4835) from a human fetal lung cDNA library as encoding an amino acid sequence having homology to the catalytic region of PDE2A, PDE3A, PDE3B, PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, PDE5A, rod alpha PDE6A, rod beta PDE6B, cone alpha PDE6C, and PDE7A. The database sequence for WO4835 is set out in SEQ ID NO: 7. Results from the database analysis as discussed below are exemplified using the PDE4D sequence.
WO4835 cDNA was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, Md.) which maintains and makes publicly available deposits of ESTs identified and sequenced by I.M.A.G.E., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, Calif.). The WO4835 DNA was sequenced upon receipt to confirm its identity and determined to be consistent with SEQ ID NO: 7.
The amino acid sequence encoded by the -1 reading frame of EST sequence WO4835 was recognized by all of the PDE query cDNA sequences except PDE1A, 1B and 1C. Using the TBLASTN results with PDE4D3 as an example, two regions of similarity were detected. The first region showed 15/37 exact matches or 40% identity (19/37 similar amino acids) and included the HD(X).sub.2 HXG(X).sub.13 A (SEQ ID NO: 8) motif found in all of the query sequences. �Charboneau, Mol. Pharmacol. Cell Regul. 2:267-298 (1990)!. The second region showed 9/20 exact matches or 45% identity and included the YHNxxHA motif found in most of the query sequences. BLASTN analysis of the WO4835 sequence revealed that it was unique in that it was not identical to any other human DNA sequences in the Genbank database. The EST database entry for WO4835 identified the sequence as being similar to PIR:A48719, the bovine cGMP binding, cGMP hydrolyzing PDE5A1 sequence. Comparison of the protein sequence of WO4835 frame--1 to the bovine PDE5A1 sequence revealed 58/153 matches for an overall identify of 38%. Within this region were small regions of greater homology; one region showed a 12/14 identical amino acids. Given the unique nature of the WO4835 sequence, its relatively low homology to bovine PDE5A1, and the presence of the amino acid motifs found in most other known human PDE amino acid sequences, WO4835 represents a novel human PDE cDNA.
EXAMPLE 2
Isolation of Putative PDE cDNA
WO4835 cDNA insert was digested from the pT7T3D vector into two fragments with the restriction enzymes EcoRI and HindIII and the two fragments were purified using two sequential low melting agarose gels. Both fragments were used as probes to screen cDNA libraries derived from human heart (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.), and human fetal brain (Stratagene) using procedures routinely practiced in the art. Approximately 5.times.10.sup.5 phage from each library were screened. Hybridization was carried out overnight in buffer containing 3.times.SSC, 0.1% Sarkosyl, 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.8, 10.times.Denhardt's solution, and 50 .mu.g/ml salmon sperm DNA at 65.degree. C. The filters were washed at 65.degree. C. in buffer containing 2.times.SSC and 0.1% SDS prior to autoradiography.
Nine clones from the fetal brain cDNA library and two from the heart cDNA library hybridized to the WO4835 probe. Partial sequencing and mapping led to the selection of one clone from the fetal brain library designated FB66a for further characterization.
A second screening of approximately 7.5.times.10.sup.5 phage from the fetal brain cDNA library under conditions used in the first screening using the 1.3 kb EcoRI/HindIII fragment from the 5' portion of WO4835 yielded nineteen additional cDNA clones. Six of these cDNAs also hybridized to a HindIII/KpnI fragment of WO4835 which includes a 256 nucleotide region at the 5' end of W04835. Partial sequencing and mapping of five of the clones led to the selection of a second clone designated FB85c-2 for further analysis.
EXAMPLE 3
DNA Sequence Analysis of FB66a and FB85c-2
The DNA sequence of FB66a was determined for both strands using DNA oligonucleotide primers set out below in SEQ ID NOs: 9 to 31 and a Perkin Elmer Applied Biosystems Division 373A DNA Sequencer according to the maunfacturer's suggested protocol. The amount of PCR product used as template was calculated based on the size of the PCR product and was sequenced using ABI PRISM Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit with ApliTaq DNA Polymerase, FS (Perkin Elmer, Foster City, Calif.) and asymmetric PCR. The reaction product was purified on a AGCT spin column (Advanced Genetic Technologies Corp., Gaithersburg, Md.) and dried. Loading buffer was added to each purified sample and the mixture heated at 90.degree. C. for two minutes. The solution was transferred to ice until being loaded onto a 4% polyacrylamide gel. Data was automatically collected once the Data Collection program was initiated and was automatically analyzed and read by the Sequence Analysis program. All editing was performed manually and the resulting sequences were aligned where the consensus sequence was determined.

The FB66a cDNA, set out in SEQ ID NO: 3, is 4389 nucleotides in length and, from nucleotide 3 to nucleotide 2411, encodes a protein of 803 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of approximately 90,775 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence for FB66a is set out in SEQ ID NO: 4. The first methionine is encoded at nucleotide 45; the absence of an upstream in frame stop codon makes it unclear whether this residue is an internal methionine or the beginning of the open reading frame.
The DNA sequence of FB85c-2 (SEQ ID NO: 5) was similarly determined using primers M13Rev.1, W48A2, W48A9, W48A4, W48S1, W48A1, W48S6, W48A5, W48A6, W48S2, W48S3, W48S4, W48S5, W48S7, W48A8, and M13. FB85c-2 appeared to include two distinct DNA inserts, only one of which was homologous to WO4835. The region homologous to WO4835 was approximately 2.8 kb in length. The precise sequence at the 5' end of the insert could not be determined and thus a few hundred bases of sequence in what may be a 5'-untranslated region are not included in the 2573 nucleotide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 5. Nucleotide 67 to nucleotide 2406 encodes a protein having 779 amino acid protein (SEQ ID NO: 6) having a predicted molecular weight of 88,353 Da. An in frame upstream stop codon makes it likely that the methionine encoded at nucleotide position 67 is the initiation methionine.
The proteins encoded by FB66a and FB85c-2 have different amino terminal sequences which may be due to alternative splicing. The DNA sequences diverge from each other 5' of nucleotide 112 in FB66a and nucleotide 104 in FB85c-2. Thus, FB85c-2 has 13 amino acids at the amino terminus that are not found in the FB66a protein. The FB66a protein includes 23 unique amino terminal residues if the initiating methionine at presumed to be encoded at nucleotide 35; the protein includes more than 37 unique amino terminal residues if the open reading frame in the FB66a clone is incomplete.
BLASTN analysis, wherein a query nucleotide sequence is compared against a nucleotide sequence database, of the FB66a sequence revealed no identity with sequences in Genbank, NCBI STS, NCBI HTGS, or NCBI GSS databases. However, two identical sequences were identified in the NCBI EST database.
One sequence was the WO4835 EST which was used to identify the cDNA clone. The second, AA307865 (SEQ ID NO: 32), derived from a colon cancer cell line KM12C (HCC) showed sequence identity with the 3' untranslated region of the FB66a and FB85c-2 clones. During the search in which AA307865 was identified, additional EST DNAs were identified presumably encoding putative mouse (EST AA386789, SEQ ID NO: 38) and rat (EST H32734, SEQ ID NO: 33) homologs to the human proteins encoded by FB66a and FB85c-2. The mouse sequence was 86% identical to the human sequences and the rat sequence was 81%.
EXAMPLE 4
Analysis FB85c-2 and FB66a Protein
The PDEs encoded by clones FB85c-2 and FB66a were designated PDE8A1 and PDE8A2, respectively. Both PDE8A proteins, having complete amino acid sequence identity beyond the point of divergence discussed above, are most similar to human PDE2A, PDE5A, PDE6A, PDE6B, and PDE6C. Tables 1 and 2 show percent amino acid identity between PDE8A and PDE2A, PDE5A and PDE6A.
PDE8A1 and PDE8A2 share homology with other PDEs over the catalytic region (amino acids 492 through 748 in PDE8A1) and with the putative cGMP binding domain conserved in the amino terminal region of the PDE2A, PDE5A, PDE6A, PDE6B, AND PDE6C. The potential cGMP binding domain of PDE8A extends from amino acids 75 to amino acid 445 in the PDE8A1 polypeptide. Within the cGMP binding domains of PDE2A, PDE5A, PDE6A, PDE6B, and PDE6C, there are two internal repeats designated "a" and "b," and each repeat contains a series of conserved amino acids �McAllister-Lucas, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 268:22863-22873 (1993)!. In the corresponding "b" repeat region of PDE8A, all of the conserved amino acids are found; in the corresponding "a" repeat region, only some of the conserved residues were detected. An aspartate residue, shown to be essential for the cGMP binding by bovine PDE5A �McAllister-Lucas, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:1-9 (1995)! is not present in the "a" repeat region of PDE8A. It is therefore uncertain whether this region in PDE8A functions to bind cGMP.

EXAMPLE 5
Expression of Recombinant PDE8A
An expression construct for PDE8A was generated that included DNA sequences 3' from the point of divergence of PDE8A1 and PDE8A2 through the stop codon. The expression construction included DNA encoding an eight amino acid epitope tag. The so-called "FLAG tag," comprising the peptide sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 34, was added to the amino terminus in order that the protein could be identified by Western blotting techniques using an anti-FLAG M2 antibody (Eastman Kodak, Rochester, N.Y.) which specifically recognized the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 34.
SEQ ID NO: 34 Asp-Tyr-Lys-Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys
Sequences encoding an initiating methionine at the proteins amino terminus was also added.
As a first step in constructing the expression plasmid, PCR was performed using FB66a DNA as a template using primers set out in SEQ ID NOs: 35 (below) and W48A2 (SEQ ID NO: 10, p. 14) in a reaction mixture containing 2 .mu.l each primer (stock 100 .mu.g/ml), 2 .mu.l 10.times.PCR buffer II (Perkin Elmer), 2 .mu.l 10.times. stock of each nucleotide (stock 2 mM), 1.2 .mu.l MgCl.sub.2 (stock 25 mM), 0.09 .mu.l 5 Units/.mu.l taq polymerase (Perkin Elmer), FB66a DNA and water to bring the reaction mixture to 20 .mu.l. In the 5' primer (SEQ ID NO: 35), an NcoI site is in bold and the FLAG tag encoding region is underlined.
SEQ ID NO: 35CAGTCAGCTAGCCGCCATGGACTACAAGGAC- GACGATGACCAAGTTGACTGATGAAAAGGTG
PCR was carried out in a Perkin Elmer DNA Thermal Cycler under the following conditions: 94.degree. C. for 4 minutes followed by 30 cycles of 94.degree. C. for one minute, 50.degree. C. for one minute, and 72.degree. C. for two minutes.
The resulting PCR product was digested with NcoI and KpnI, gel purified, and subcloned into Bluescript SKII.sup.+ vector previously digested with the same enzymes. The Bluescript vector had previously been modified to include a SacI/NcoI alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) promoter fragment removed from a YEpC-PADH2d vector �Price, et al., Meth. Enzymol. 185:308-315 (1990)!. The resulting plasmid was designated W48pcr1.
A KpnI/SstI fragment containing the 3' portion of the open reading frame was isolated from a FB66a cDNA and inserted into W48pcr1 previously digested with KpnI and EcoRV. The resulting plasmid was designated W485.1.
A SacI/KpnI fragment containing the ADH2 promoter and the 5' portion of the PDE8A gene was isolated from W49pcr1. A KpnI/SalI fragment containing the 3' region of PDE8A was isolated from W485.1. The two fragments were ligated into the yeast expression vector YEpC-PADH2d that had been previously digested with SacI and SalI. The resulting plasmid was designated W48-2ADH2 and was deposited on Oct. 2, 1997 under the terms of the Budapest Treaty with the American Type Culture Collection (A.T.C.C.), 10801 University Blvd., Manassas, Va. 20110-2209. The bacterial strain bearing plasmid W48-2ADH2 was assigned accession number ATCC 98552. The DNA sequences generated by PCR and the DNA sequences at the PDE8/vector junctions were determined to insure proper plasmid construction. Upon confirmation of the sequence, the plasmid was transformed into a yeast strain BJ2-54 lacking endogenous PDE activity (ura3-52;trp1;leu2;cir.sup.o ;gal2; pep4-3,prb1-1122,prc1-402;.DELTA.PDE1::URA3;HIS3;.DELTA.PDE2::TRP1).
The host cells were grown overnight in SC-leu selective media including 2% glucose, diluted to 1-2.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml and subsequently grown to a density of 10.sup.7 cells/ml in the same media. The presence of the expression plasmid appeared to increase the doubling time for cell growth two- to three-fold even under non-inducing conditions. The cells were collected by centrifugation, washed with YEP media including 3% glycerol, resuspended in YEP/3% glycerol at a density of 10.sup.7 cells/ml, and grown for 24 hours prior to harvest. Cells were frozen until use.
Frozen cell pellets (0.06 ml) were thawed and suspended in 0.2 ml lysis buffer containing 100 mM MOPS, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 2 .mu.M ZnSO.sub.2, 2 mM dithiothreitol, and 10 .mu.g/ml each protease inhibitors pepstatin, leupeptin, and aprotinin. Approximately 0.2 ml of 0.5 mm glass beads were added to the cells which were then lysed with four 30-second cycles of vortexing. The lysate was aspirated and the beads were washed twice with 0.3 ml lysis buffer. The lysate was combined with the washes to generate the yeast extract. In some experiments the lysate was fractionated by centrifugation at 105,000.times.g for thirty minutes.
Western analysis was carried out on yeast extract containing the recombinant protein as follows. Proteins were first separated on SDS-PAGE and transferred to Immobilon-P (Millipore) using standard methods. The protein blots were blocked using 5% non-fat dry milk in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20 (TBST buffer plus milk) for one hour at room temperature. The blots were incubated with anti-FLAG M2 antibody (discussed above) at a concentration of 1 .mu.g/ml in TBST buffer plus milk for one hour, after which the blots were washed four times with TBST buffer. The blots were then incubated for one hour with blotting grade affinity purified goat anti-mouse IgG antibody conjugated to horse radish peroxidase (HRP) (BioRad). The goat IgG was previously diluted 1:10,000 in TBST buffer plus milk. The blots were washed four times with TBST and treated, according to the manufacturer's suggested protocol, with the Renaissance.RTM. system (New England Nuclear Life Sciences Products) for enhanced chemiluminescence prior to autoradiography. The majority of the protein detected by the antibody was the size expected for the recombinant protein.
PDE activity was assayed by detection of .sup.32 P-phosphate released from .sup.32 P-cAMP or .sup.32 P-cGMP as described previously �Loughney et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:796-806 (1996)!. The yeast extract was diluted in 0.5.times. lysis buffer also containing 0.5 mg/ml bovine serum albumin. Twenty .mu.l of the yeast extract, or diluted yeast extract, was assayed in a 100 .mu.l reaction volume which included an additional 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 5 mM MgCl.sub.2 1 .mu.M Zn SO.sub.2, and 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin. Protein concentration was assayed by the method of Bradford.
PDE8A was observed to hydrolyze both cAMP and cGMP. In unfractionated lysates, the specific activity for cAMP was 3.9 nmol/min/mg and for cGMP was 7.6 nmol/min/mg. Fractionation revealed that 20-40% of the total activity was associated with the high speed supernatant fraction. Kinetic analysis of the activity with cAMP as substrate suggested the presence of both low and high K.sub.m forms of the enzyme in a 1:1 activity ratio. The estimated K.sub.m values were 0.2 .mu.M and 350 .mu.M. Analysis of the high speed pellet suggested that the same species were present but in a high K.sub.m :low K.sub.m activity ratio of 1:4. Kinetic analysis with cGMP as substrate also suggested the presence of low and high forms of the enzyme. In these analyses, K.sub.m values were estimated to be 3 .mu.M and 300 .mu.M.
The IC.sub.50 values for inhibition of PDE8A activity were determined using a set of isozyme-selective PDE inhibitors and the non-selective inhibitor isomethyl butyl xanthine (IBMX). Since these assays were performed at a cAMP concentration of 60 nM, the IC.sub.50 values reflect inhibition of the low K.sub.m form only. The results are set out in Table 3 with values shown in micromolar units.
TABLE 3______________________________________PDE8 Inhibition with Isozyme-specific PDE Inhibitors Target PDE IC.sub.50 for IC.sub.50 for FoldCompound Family Target Family PDE8 Difference______________________________________IC224 PDE1 0.08-0.008 2.7 38-338EHNA PDE2 2 65 31Cilostamide PDE3 0.02 12 750IC197 PDE4 0.02 14 714DMPPO PDE5 0.016 1.1 66IBMX Non-selective 1-40 4.6 0.12-4.6______________________________________
The IC.sub.50 values for each of the selective inhibitors were at least 30 times higher against PDE8 than against their target isozymes which suggests that the inhibitory profile of PDE8 is distinct from that of PDEs 1-5. The hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP clearly distinguishes the enzymatic activity of PDE8A from that of PDE6 and PDE7A. The IC.sub.50 of the non-selective inhibitor IBMX for PDE8 was in the range observed for known human PDEs suggesting that the catalytic site of PDE8 resembles those of other human and mammalian PDEs and is distinct from lower eukaryotic forms that are insensitive to IBMX.
EXAMPLE 6
Northern Analysis of PDE8A Expression
Northern analysis of PDE8A expression was carried out using a human multiple tissue blot (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.). The 327 base probe was extended from nucleotide 1767 to nucleotide 2293 in SEQ ID NO: 3. Riboprobe preparation and hybridization conditions were as previously described �Loughney, et al. supra!.
Results showed a 9.5 kb mRNA in all tissues examined but band intensity varied. The signal was strongest in heart, brain, and kidney; the signal was weaker in liver, placenta, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. The signal was weakest in lung.
EXAMPLE 7
Chromosome Mapping of Human PDE8A
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) containing the human PDE8A gene were isolated from a panel of human YACs purchased from Research Genetics and screened by PCR as follows.
The YAC super-pools were screened with two nested pairs of primers. In the first screening reaction, sense primer W48S8 (SEQ ID No: 36) was paired with the anti-sense primer W48A10 (SEQ ID NO: 37). PCR was carried out with 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 50 mM KCl, 2 mM MgSO.sub.4, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 10 .mu.g/ml of each primer, 0.5 units of Taq polymerase (Perkin-Elmer) and 1.5 .mu.l of YAC pool DNA as template. Reactions were carried out for 30 cycles, each cycle consisting of one minute at 94.degree. C., two minutes at 60.degree. C., and four minutes at 72.degree. C. After the first round of amplification, the reaction products were reamplified with the internal pair of primers W48S12 (SEQ ID NO: 36) and W48A12 (SEQ ID NO: 37).
W48S12 SEQ ID NO: 36 CCAGAAGGGGTACTTTTCCW48A12 SEQ ID NO: 37 CATTGTCCTGAGGCTGTGG
The reactions were carried out as described above except that the template was 1 .mu.l of a 1:10 dilution (in water) of the first round reaction. Super-pools yielding the correct size PCR product were identified and the corresponding sub-pools were screened with the same nested pairs of primers under the same conditions to identify unique addresses for YACs containing PDE8A.
Yeast strains harboring the relevant YACs were purchased from Research Genetics. In order to verify the presence of the PDE8A gene in the various YACs, DNA was prepared from each strain and analyzed by PCR with primers W48S8 and W48A10. DNA was prepared from each strain according to a method previously described �Hoffman and Winston, Gene 57:267-272 (1987)! but modified as follows. Strains were grown overnight at 30.degree. C. in YEP media containing glucose. Ten ml of culture was pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in 200 .mu.l of aqueous buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM Na.sub.2 EDTA, 1% SDS, and 2% Triton-X100. The cells were lysed by vortexing in the presence of 200 .mu.l of phenol/chloroform (1:1 mixture) and 100 .mu.l of glass beads (425-600 .mu.m). Following lysis, 200 .mu.l of TE Buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 1 mM Na.sub.2 EDTA) was added and the sample was centrifuged to separate the phases. The organic phase was extracted again with 200 .mu.l of aqueous buffer. The pooled aqueous phase was treated with 100 units of bovine pancreatic RNase (Boehringer Mannheim) for 1 hour at 37.degree. C. and the sample was extracted with phenol/chloroform, re-extracted with chloroform, and ethanol precipitated according to established methods. The resultant pellet was resuspended in 50 .mu.l TE Buffer. PCR was carried out as described above except that the reaction volume was 25 .mu.l and the template consisted of 1 .mu.l of the relevant yeast DNA preparation.
Three human YACs containing the PDE8 gene were identified with addresses 805B6, 919H10 and 920A3 (as per the CEPH designation). According to information in the Center for Genome Research database (Whitehead), the three YACs overlap one another and are part of a singly-linked contig (WC6.16) on human chromosome 6. Two sequence tagged sites within this contig (D6S305 and D6S411) have been placed on the chromosomes 6 genetic map at a position 167 cM from the end of 6p in work at the Center for Genome Research; D6S305 has been mapped to a position 173 cM from the end of 6p in work at CEPH-Genethon. Three other YACs within the WC6.16 contig (932F1, 956B1 and 947D5) have been mapped by florescence in situ hybridization at CEPH-Genethon. The hybridization signals fall between 0.94- and 0.99 fractional length units from the end of 6p. According to the CEPH integrated summary map �Chumakov et al., Nature 377 (Supp):175-297 (1995)!, this region corresponds to the cytogenetic region 6q26-27.
Heritable defects that have been associated with this region of the human genome include retinal cone degeneration (OMIM database), Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus �Davies et al. Nature 371:130-136 (1994); Luo et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 57:911-919 (1995)! and juvenile onset parkinsonism �Matsumine et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 60:588-596 (1997)!. In addition, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is frequently observed in this region in a variety of different cancer cells, including Burkitt's lymphoma �Parsa et al. Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer 9:13-18 (1994)!, astrocytoma �Liang et al. Neurology 44:533-536 (1994)!, gastric carcinoma �Queimado et al. Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer 14:28-34 (1995)!, parathyroid adenoma �Tahara et al. Cancer Res. 56:599-605 (1996)! and ovarian carcinoma �Cooke et al. Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer 15:223-233 (1996); Saito et al. Cancer Res. 56:5586-5589 (1996)!. LOH has been suggested to indicate the presence of a tumor suppressor gene in the affected region �Weinberg, Science 254:1138-1146 (1991)!. Due to its widespread expression, it is possible that mutation of the PDE8 gene may be involved in all or some of these genetic abnormalities.
Numerous modifications and variations in the invention as set forth in the above illustrative examples are expected to occur to those skilled in the art. Consequently only such limitations as appear in the appended claims should be placed on the invention.
