Transporters in the Mammary Gland-Contribution to Presence of Nutrients and Drugs into Milk. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11102372. [PMID: 31590349 PMCID: PMC6836069 DOI: 10.3390/nu11102372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2019] [Revised: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
A large number of nutrients and bioactive ingredients found in milk play an important role in the nourishment of breast-fed infants and dairy consumers. Some of these ingredients include physiologically relevant compounds such as vitamins, peptides, neuroactive compounds and hormones. Conversely, milk may contain substances-drugs, pesticides, carcinogens, environmental pollutants-which have undesirable effects on health. The transfer of these compounds into milk is unavoidably linked to the function of transport proteins. Expression of transporters belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC-) and Solute Carrier (SLC-) superfamilies varies with the lactation stages of the mammary gland. In particular, Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides 1A2 (OATP1A2) and 2B1 (OATP2B1), Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCT1), Novel Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCTN1), Concentrative Nucleoside Transporters 1, 2 and 3 (CNT1, CNT2 and CNT3), Peptide Transporter 2 (PEPT2), Sodium-dependent Vitamin C Transporter 2 (SVCT2), Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein 5 (ABCC5) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (ABCG2) are highly induced during lactation. This review will focus on these transporters overexpressed during lactation and their role in the transfer of products into the milk, including both beneficial and harmful compounds. Furthermore, additional factors, such as regulation, polymorphisms or drug-drug interactions will be described.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A previous genome-wide association study linked overexpression of an ATP-binding cassette transporter, ABCC5, in humans with a susceptibility to developing type 2 diabetes with age. Specifically, ABCC5 gene overexpression was shown to be strongly associated with increased visceral fat mass and reduced peripheral insulin sensitivity. Currently, the role of ABCC5 in diabetes and obesity is unknown. This study reports the metabolic phenotyping of a global Abcc5 knockout mouse. METHODS A global Abcc5-/- mouse was generated by CRISPR/Cas9. Fat mass was determined by weekly EchoMRI and fat pads were dissected and weighed at week 18. Glucose homeostasis was ascertained by an oral glucose tolerance test, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test. Energy expenditure and locomotor activity were measured using PhenoMaster cages. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels in plasma, primary gut cell cultures, and GLUTag cells were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Abcc5-/- mice had decreased fat mass and increased plasma levels of GLP-1, and they were more insulin sensitive and more active. Recombinant overexpression of ABCC5 protein in GLUTag cells decreased GLP-1 release. CONCLUSIONS ABCC5 protein expression levels are inversely related to fat mass and appear to play a role in the regulation of GLP-1 secretion from enteroendocrine cells.

Curr Med Chem 2019; 26:1270-1307. [PMID: 29284392 DOI: 10.2174/0929867325666171229133259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2017] [Revised: 12/01/2017] [Accepted: 12/14/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
MRP4 transports multiple endogenous and exogenous substances and is critical not only for detoxification but also in the homeostasis of several signaling molecules. Its dysregulation has been reported in numerous pathological disorders, thus MRP4 appears as an attractive therapeutic target. However, the efficacy of MRP4 inhibitors is still controversial. The design of specific pharmacological agents with the ability to selectively modulate the activity of this transporter or modify its affinity to certain substrates represents a challenge in current medicine and chemical biology. The first step in the long process of drug rational design is to identify the therapeutic target and characterize the mechanism by which it affects the given pathology. In order to develop a pharmacological agent with high specific activity, the second step is to systematically study the structure of the target and identify all the possible binding sites. Using available homology models and mutagenesis assays, in this review we recapitulate the up-to-date knowledge about MRP structure and aligned amino acid sequences to identify the candidate MRP4 residues where cyclic nucleotides bind. We have also listed the most relevant MRP inhibitors studied to date, considering drug safety and specificity for MRP4 in particular. This meta-analysis platform may serve as a basis for the future development of inhibitors of MRP4 cAMP specific transport.

Abstract
The nucleotidyl cyclase ExoY is an effector protein of the type III secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We compared the cyclic nucleotide production and lung disease phenotypes caused by the ExoY-overexpressing strain PA103ΔexoUexoT::Tc pUCPexoY, its vector control strain PA103ΔexoUexoT::Tc pUCP18, its loss-of-function control PA103ΔexoUexoT::Tc pUCPexoY K81M and natural ExoY-positive and ExoY-negative isolates in a murine acute airway infection model. Only the P. aeruginosa carrier of the exoY-plasmid produced high levels of cUMP and caused the most severe course of infection. The pathology ascribed to ExoY from studies using the high-copy-number plasmid on mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo was not observed with natural P. aeruginosa isolates. This indicates that the role of ExoY during infection with real-life P. aeruginosa still needs to be resolved.

Abstract
The non-canonical cyclic nucleotide cUMP and the phosphodiesterase PDE9A both occur in neuronal cells. Using HPLC-coupled tandem mass spectrometry, we characterized the kinetics of PDE9A-mediated cUMP hydrolysis. PDE9A is a low-affinity and high-velocity enzyme for cUMP (Vmax = ~ 6 μmol/min/mg; Km = ~ 401 μM). The PDE9 inhibitor BAY 73-6691 inhibited PDE9A-catalyzed cUMP hydrolysis (Ki = 590 nM). Docking studies indicate two H-bonds between the cUMP uridine moiety and Gln453/Asn405 of PDE9A. By contrast, the guanosine moiety of cGMP forms three H-bonds with Gln453. cCMP is not hydrolyzed at a concentration of 3 μM, but inhibits the PDE9A-catalyzed cUMP hydrolysis at concentrations of 100 μM or more. The probable main reason is that the cytosine moiety cannot act as H-bond acceptor for Gln453. A comparison of PDE9A with PDE7A suggests that the preference of the former for cGMP and cUMP and of the latter for cAMP and cCMP is due to stabilized alternative conformations of the side chain amide of Gln453 and Gln413, respectively. This so-called glutamine switch is known to be involved in the regulation of cAMP/cGMP selectivity of some PDEs.

cUMP hydrolysis by PDE3B. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2018; 391:891-905.

Abstract
Previous results indicate that the phosphodiesterase PDE3B hydrolyzes cUMP. Also, almost 50 years ago, cUMP-hydrolytic activity was observed in rat adipose tissue. We intended to characterize the enzyme kinetics of PDE3B-mediated cUMP hydrolysis, to determine the PDE3B binding mode of cUMP, and to analyze cUMP hydrolysis in adipocyte preparations. Educts (cNMPs) and products (NMPs) of the PDE reactions as well as intracellular cNMPs were quantitated by HPLC-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. PDE3B expression was determined by qPCR and Western blot. Docking studies were performed with the PDE3B crystal structure PDB ID 1SO2 (complex with a dihydropyridazine inhibitor). PDE3B hydrolyzed cUMP (Km ~ 550 μM, Vmax ~ 76 μmol/min/mg) and cAMP (Km ~ 0.7 μM, Vmax ~ 4.3 μmol/min/mg) in a milrinone (PDE3-selective inhibitor)-sensitive manner (Ki for inhibition of cUMP hydrolysis: 205 nM). cUMP forms one hydrogen bond with PDE3B (uracil 3-NH with side chain oxygen of Q988). Two hydrogen bonds stabilize cAMP binding. cCMP does not interact with PDE3B. Possibly, the cytosine base cannot form hydrogen bonds with PDE3B, and the 4-NH2 group clashes with L987 of the enzyme. Adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 MBX cells increased mRNA of PDE3B, but not of PDE3A. Significant amounts of cUMP were detected in differentiated and undifferentiated 3T3-L1 MBX cells. 3T3-L1 MBX adipocyte lysates and rat epididymal adipose tissue membranes contained milrinone-sensitive cUMP-hydrolytic activity. PDE3B is a low-affinity and high-velocity phosphodiesterase for cUMP. The cUMP-hydrolyzing activity described almost 50 years ago for rat adipose tissue is caused by PDE3, probably by the isoform PDE3B.

Abstract
Contemporary investigations regarding the (patho)physiological roles of the non-canonical cyclic nucleoside monophosphates (cNMP) cytidine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cCMP) and uridine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cUMP) have been hampered by the lack of highly specific and sensitive analytic methods for these analytes. In addition, the existence of 2',3'-cNMP besides 3',5'-cNMP has been described recently. HPLC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) is the method of choice for identification and quantification of low-molecular weight endogenous metabolites. In this chapter, recommendations for an HPLC-MS/MS method for 3',5'- and 2',3'-cNMP are summarized.

Abstract
This chapter addresses cNMP hydrolysis by phosphodiesterases (PDEs) and export by multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRPs). Both mechanisms are well-established for the canonical cNMPs, cAMP, and cGMP. Increasing evidence shows that non-canonical cNMPs (specifically cCMP, cUMP) are also PDE and MRP substrates. Hydrolysis of cUMP is achieved by PDE 3A, 3B, and 9A, which possibly explains the cUMP-degrading activities previously reported for heart, adipose tissue, and brain. Regarding cCMP, the only known "conventional" (class I) PDE that hydrolyzes cCMP is PDE7A. Older reports describe cCMP-degrading PDE-like activities in mammalian tissues, bacteria, and plants, but the molecular identity of these enzymes is not clear. High K M and V max values, insensitivity to common inhibitors, and unusually broad substrate specificities indicate that these activities probably do not represent class I PDEs. Moreover, the older results have to be interpreted with caution, since the historical analytical methods were not as reliable as modern highly sensitive and specific techniques like HPLC-MS/MS. Besides PDEs, the transporters MRP4 and 5 are of major importance for cAMP and cGMP disposal. Additionally, both MRPs also export cUMP, while cCMP is only exported by MRP5. Much less data are available for the non-canonical cNMPs, cIMP, cXMP, and cTMP. None of these cNMPs has been examined as MRP substrate. It was shown, however, that they are hydrolyzed by several conventional class I PDEs. Finally, this chapter reveals that there are still large gaps in our knowledge about PDE and MRP activities for canonical and non-canonical cNMPs. Future research should perform a comprehensive characterization of the known PDEs and MRPs with the physiologically most important cNMP substrates.

Abstract
cCMP and cUMP are pyrimidine cyclic nucleotides which are present in several types of cells. These molecules could exert diverse cellular functions and might act as second messengers. In the last years, diverse approaches were performed to analyze possible cellular substrates and signaling pathways of cCMP and cUMP. In this review these approaches are summarized, and probable cross talk of these signaling molecules is described. These analyses might lead to the (patho)physiological and pharmacological relevance of these noncanonical cyclic nucleotides.

Abstract
The cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are well-characterized second messenger molecules regulating many important intracellular processes, such as differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. The latter is a highly regulated process of programmed cell death wherein several regulatory proteins, like those belonging to the Bcl-2 family, are involved. The initiation of apoptosis is regulated by three different pathways: the intrinsic or mitochondrial, the extrinsic, and the ER stress pathway. Recently, it has been published that the pyrimidine cyclic nucleotides cCMP and cUMP also function as second messenger molecules, and additionally have an effect on apoptosis signaling pathways. cCMP induced PKA-independent apoptosis via the intrinsic and ER-stress pathway in S49 mouse lymphoma cells, and cCMP as well as cUMP induced apoptosis in human HEL cells via the intrinsic pathway. However, in human K-562 cells, which are known to be multidrug-resistant, cCMP and cUMP had no effect. Summarized in this chapter are the initiation of apoptosis by cCMP and cUMP regarding the various apoptotic pathways, the enzymes involved in apoptosis, as well as the most relevant methods for the detection and examination of apoptosis and the corresponding signaling pathways.

Abstract
As previously reported, the cardiac phosphodiesterase PDE3A hydrolyzes cUMP. Moreover, cUMP-degrading activity was detected in cow and dog hearts several decades ago. Our aim was to characterize the enzyme kinetic parameters of PDE3A-mediated cUMP hydrolysis and to investigate whether cUMP and cUMP-hydrolyzing PDEs are present in cardiomyocytes. PDE3A-mediated cUMP hydrolysis was characterized in time course, inhibitor, and Michaelis-Menten kinetics experiments. Intracellular cyclic nucleotide (cNMP) concentrations and the mRNAs of cUMP-degrading PDEs were quantitated in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and murine HL-1 cardiomyogenic cells. Moreover, we investigated cUMP degradation in HL-1 cell homogenates and intact cells. Educts (cNMPs) and products (NMPs) of the PDE reactions were detected by HPLC-coupled tandem mass spectrometry. PDE3A degraded cUMP (measurement of UMP formation) with a K M value of ~143 μM and a V max value of ~42 μmol/min/mg. PDE3A hydrolyzed cAMP with a K M value of ~0.7 μM and a V max of ~1.2 μmol/min/mg (determination of AMP formation). The PDE3 inhibitor milrinone inhibited cUMP hydrolysis (determination of UMP formation) by PDE3A (K i = 57 nM). Significant amounts of cUMP as well as of PDE3A mRNA (in addition to PDE3B and PDE9A transcripts) were detected in HL-1 cells and NRCMs. Although HL-1 cell homogenates contain a milrinone-sensitive cUMP-hydrolyzing activity, intact HL-1 cells may use additional PDE3-independent mechanisms for cUMP disposal. PDE3A is a low-affinity and high-velocity PDE for cUMP. Future studies should investigate biological effects of cUMP in cardiomyocytes and the role of PDE3A in detoxifying high intracellular cUMP concentrations under pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
The cyclic pyrimidine nucleotides cCMP and cUMP have been recently identified in numerous mammalian cell lines, in primary cells and in intact organs, but very little is still known about their biological function. A recent study of our group revealed that the membrane-permeable cCMP analog cCMP-acetoxymethylester (cCMP-AM) induces apoptosis in mouse lymphoma cells independent of protein kinase A via an intrinsic and mitochondria-dependent pathway. In our present study, we examined the effects of various cNMP-AMs in human tumor cell lines. In HEL cells, a human erythroleukemia cell line, cCMP-AM effectively reduced the number of viable cells, effectively induced apoptosis by altering the mitochondrial membrane potential and thereby caused changes in the cell cycle. cCMP itself was biologically inactive, indicating that membrane penetration is required to trigger intracellular effects. cCMP-AM did not induce apoptosis in K-562 cells, a human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, due to rapid export via multidrug resistance-associated proteins. The biological effects of cCMP-AM differed from those of other cNMP-AMs. In conclusion, cCMP effectively induces apoptosis in HEL cells, cCMP export prevents apoptosis of K-562 cells and cNMPs differentially regulate various aspects of apoptosis, cell growth and mitochondrial function. In a broader perspective, our data support the concept of distinct second messenger roles of cAMP, cGMP, cCMP and cUMP.

Heterogeneity of pulmonary endothelial cyclic nucleotide response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoY infection. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2015; 309:L1199-207.

Abstract
Here, we tested the hypothesis that a promiscuous bacterial cyclase synthesizes purine and pyrimidine cyclic nucleotides in the pulmonary endothelium. To test this hypothesis, pulmonary endothelial cells were infected with a strain of the Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa that introduces only exoenzyme Y (PA103 ΔexoUexoT::Tc pUCPexoY; ExoY(+)) via a type III secretion system. Purine and pyrimidine cyclic nucleotides were simultaneously detected using mass spectrometry. Pulmonary artery (PAECs) and pulmonary microvascular (PMVECs) endothelial cells both possess basal levels of four different cyclic nucleotides in the following rank order: cAMP > cUMP ≈ cGMP ≈ cCMP. Endothelial gap formation was induced in a time-dependent manner following ExoY(+) intoxication. In PAECs, intercellular gaps formed within 2 h and progressively increased in size up to 6 h, when the experiment was terminated. cGMP concentrations increased within 1 h postinfection, whereas cAMP and cUMP concentrations increased within 3 h, and cCMP concentrations increased within 4 h postinfection. In PMVECs, intercellular gaps did not form until 4 h postinfection. Only cGMP and cUMP concentrations increased at 3 and 6 h postinfection, respectively. PAECs generated higher cyclic nucleotide levels than PMVECs, and the cyclic nucleotide levels increased earlier in response to ExoY(+) intoxication. Heterogeneity of the cyclic nucleotide signature in response to P. aeruginosa infection exists between PAECs and PMVECs, suggesting the intracellular milieu in PAECs is more conducive to cNMP generation.

Abstract
cCMP is a cyclic pyrimidine nucleotide which binds to and activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). In S49 lymphoma cells, cAMP induces apoptosis via PKA. In our present study, we examined the effect of cCMP on apoptosis in S49 mouse lymphoma cells and in PKA-deficient S49kin(-)cells. These two cell lines also lack PKG, hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 2 and 4 (HCN2 and HCN4) as assessed by real-time PCR. The cell-permeable analog cCMP-AM induced PKA- and PKG-independent apoptosis in S49 cells. In contrast, exchange protein activated by cAMP (Epac) activation did not induce apoptosis. cCMP induced caspase-dependent apoptosis via the intrinsic pathway, led to cytochrome c release from mitochondria and also activated the ER stress pathway. On the contrary, the extrinsic apoptotic pathway was not involved. Autophagy was not detectable after treatment with cCMP-AM in both cell lines. cAMP-AM, cGMP-AM, cUMP-AM as well as the cyclic nucleotides lacking the acetoxymethylester (AM)-group had no effect. cCMP-AM altered gene expression of the apoptotic-relevant gene Gadd45α and the immediate early response genes cFos and Nr4A1 in S49 wild-type (wt) cells. In conclusion, cCMP induces apoptosis of S49 lymphoma cells, independently of hitherto known cCMP target proteins.

Abstract
Despite technological advances in metabolomics, large parts of the human metabolome are still unexplored. In an untargeted metabolomics screen aiming to identify substrates of the orphan transporter ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 5 (ABCC5), we identified a class of mammalian metabolites, N-lactoyl-amino acids. Using parallel protein fractionation in conjunction with shotgun proteomics on fractions containing N-lactoyl-Phe-forming activity, we unexpectedly found that a protease, cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase 2 (CNDP2), catalyzes their formation. N-lactoyl-amino acids are ubiquitous pseudodipeptides of lactic acid and amino acids that are rapidly formed by reverse proteolysis, a process previously considered to be negligible in vivo. The plasma levels of these metabolites strongly correlate with plasma levels of lactate and amino acid, as shown by increased levels after physical exercise and in patients with phenylketonuria who suffer from elevated Phe levels. Our approach to identify unknown metabolites and their biosynthesis has general applicability in the further exploration of the human metabolome.

Abstract
Mammalian cells contain the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotides cCMP and cUMP. It is unknown whether these tentative new second messenger molecules occur in vivo. We used high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry to quantitate nucleoside 3',5'-cyclic monophosphates. cCMP was detected in all organs studied, most notably pancreas, spleen and the female reproductive system. cUMP was not detected in organs, probably due to the intrinsically low sensitivity of mass spectrometry to detect this molecule and organ matrix effects. Intratracheal infection of mice with recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa harboring the nucleotidyl cyclase toxin ExoY massively increased cUMP in lung. The identity of cCMP and cUMP in organs was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry. cUMP also appeared in serum, urine and faeces following infection. Taken together, this report unequivocally shows for the first time that cCMP and cUMP occur in vivo.

Abstract
This review summarizes our knowledge on the non-canonical cyclic nucleotides cCMP, cUMP, cIMP, cXMP and cTMP. We place the field into a historic context and discuss unresolved questions and future directions of research. We discuss the implications of non-canonical cyclic nucleotides for experimental and clinical pharmacology, focusing on bacterial infections, cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders and reproduction medicine. The canonical cyclic purine nucleotides cAMP and cGMP fulfill the criteria of second messengers. (i) cAMP and cGMP are synthesized by specific generators, i.e. adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases, respectively. (ii) cAMP and cGMP activate specific effector proteins, e.g. protein kinases. (iii) cAMP and cGMP exert specific biological effects. (iv) The biological effects of cAMP and cGMP are terminated by phosphodiesterases and export. The effects of cAMP and cGMP are mimicked by (v) membrane-permeable cyclic nucleotide analogs and (vi) bacterial toxins. For decades, the existence and relevance of cCMP and cUMP have been controversial. Modern mass-spectrometric methods have unequivocally demonstrated the existence of cCMP and cUMP in mammalian cells. For both, cCMP and cUMP, the criteria for second messenger molecules are now fulfilled as well. There are specific patterns by which nucleotidyl cyclases generate cNMPs and how they are degraded and exported, resulting in unique cNMP signatures in biological systems. cNMP signaling systems, specifically at the level of soluble guanylyl cyclase, soluble adenylyl cyclase and ExoY from Pseudomonas aeruginosa are more promiscuous than previously appreciated. cUMP and cCMP are evolutionary new molecules, probably reflecting an adaption to signaling requirements in higher organisms.

Abstract
The cyclic purine nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are established second messengers. By contrast, the existence of the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotides cytidine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cCMP) and uridine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cUMP) has been controversial for decades. The recent development of highly sensitive mass spectrometry (MS) methods allowed precise quantitation and unequivocal identification of cCMP and cUMP in cells. Importantly, cCMP and cUMP generators, effectors, cleaving enzymes, and transporters have now been identified. Here, I discuss evidence in support of cCMP and cUMP as bona fide second messengers, the emerging therapeutic implications of cCMP and cUMP signaling, and important unresolved questions for this field.

N4-monobutyryl-cCMP activates PKA RIα and PKA RIIα more potently and with higher efficacy than PKG Iα in vitro but not in vivo. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2014; 387:1163-75.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence for a role of cytidine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cCMP) as second messenger. In a recent study, we showed that cCMP activates both purified guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase Iα (PKG Iα) and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) isoenzymes with the regulatory subunits RIα and RIIα. Moreover, the membrane-permeant cCMP analog dibutyryl (DB)-cCMP induces effective vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation via PKG Iα, but not via PKA. These data prompted us to conduct a systematic analysis of the effects of cyclic nucleotide (cNMP) analogs on purified PKG Iα and PKA RIα and RIIα We also studied the effect of DB-cCMP on PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the transcription factor cAMP response-binding protein (CREB) in S49 wild-type lymphoma cells and S49 kin(-) cells, devoid of the catalytic subunit of PKA. The major cellular metabolite of the prodrug DB-cCMP, N(4)-monobutyryl (4-MB)-cCMP, was a partial and low-potency activator of purified PKG Iα and a full and moderate-potency activator of PKA RIα and RIIα. Sp-cCMPS and Sp-cAMPS activated PKA RIα and RIIα with much higher potency and efficacy than PKG Iα. Molecular modeling suggested that the cytidine ring interacts with PKG Iα mainly via hydrophobic interactions, while the butyryl group projects away from the kinase. In contrast to DB-cAMP, DB-cCMP did not induce PKA-dependent phosphorylation in intact cells. Taken together, our data show that N(4)-monobutyryl-cCMP (4-MB-cCMP) activates PKA RIα and PKA RIIα more potently and with higher efficacy than PKG Iα in vitro but not in vivo. cNMP phosphorothioates constitute a starting point for the development of PKA activators with high selectivity relative to PKG.

PDE7A1 hydrolyzes cCMP. FEBS Lett 2014; 588:3469-74.

Abstract
The degradation and biological role of the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotide cCMP is largely elusive. We investigated nucleoside 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cNMP) specificity of six different recombinant phosphodiesterases (PDEs) by using a highly-sensitive HPLC-MS/MS detection method. PDE7A1 was the only enzyme that hydrolyzed significant amounts of cCMP. Enzyme kinetic studies using purified GST-tagged truncated PDE7A1 revealed a cCMP KM value of 135 ± 19 μM. The Vmax for cCMP hydrolysis reached 745 ± 27 nmol/(minmg), which is about 6-fold higher than the corresponding velocity for adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) degradation. In summary, PDE7A is a high-speed and low-affinity PDE for cCMP.
