Example text
The original clone of the unknown PDE was truncated in the 50 region and contained only part of the catalytic domain. The sequence was extended toward the 50 end of the gene, through subsequent cloning and “walking” the EST database through further homology searches with the new sequence data. This identified another EST tag with an in-frame stop codon following a Kozak consensus start codon. Both of the EST tags combined to encompass the full ORF of PDE8A, which encoded an 823–amino acid protein (95 kDa).
More recently, the function of PDE8A has been characterized in Leydig cells from the testis of mice. Leydig cells produce androgen and testosterone under the control of luteinizing hormone (LH) released from the pituitary gland. cAMP has been shown to be the main intracellular messenger for LH modulation of steroidogenesis via downstream signaling through PKA, which regulates proteins involved in testosterone biosynthesis [159]. Indisputable proof that PDE8A was a key regulator of steroidogenesis in Leydig cells was uncovered from studies utilizing PDE8A knockout (KO) mice and the broad-range PDE inhibitor IBMX.
