Abstract excerpt
The catalytic domain of recombinant human PDE3B was expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies and refolded to form active enzyme. A mutation at tryptophan 1072 in PDE3B disrupts inhibitor binding, but has minimal effect on cAMP hydrolysis. The W1072A mutation caused a 158-fold decrease in affinity for cilostamide, a 740-fold decrease for cGMP, and a 15-fold decrease in affinity for IBMX. The corresponding...
