Crystal Structures of Phosphodiesterases 4 and 5 in Complex with Inhibitor 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine Suggest a Conformation Determinant of Inhibitor Selectivity

TL;DR: Crystal structures of the catalytic domains of cGMP-specific PDE5A1 and cAMP- specific PDE4D2 in complex with the nonselective inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine have been determined at medium resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional structures of PDE4D in complex with roliprams and implication on inhibitor selectivity.

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the PDE4D2 catalytic domain in complex with (R)- or (R,S)-rolipram suggest that inhibitor selectivity is determined by the chemical nature of amino acids and subtle conformational changes of the binding pockets, and the corresponding Y329S mutation in PDE7 may lead to loss of the hydrogen bonds between rolipram and Gln369.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural insight into substrate specificity of phosphodiesterase 10.

TL;DR: Structural studies on substrate specificity suggest that the syn configurations of cAMP and cGMP are the genuine substrates for PDE10 and the specificity is achieved through the different interactions and conformations of the substrates.
