Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play an essential role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of second messengers (cAMP and cGMP). We have identified and made an initial characterization of a full-length cDNA encoding a novel human cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, PDE9A. At least four different mRNA transcripts (PDE9A1, A2, A3, A4) are produced as a result of alternative splicing of 5' exons, potentially changing the N-terminal amino acid sequences of the encoded proteins. All these predicted proteins would contain a 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase signature motif (Prosite no. PDOC00116). Northern blot analysis revealed several mRNA species of approximately 2.4 kb with varying expression patterns and intensities in most tissues examined, except blood. We have also isolated the mouse homolog of the human PDE9A2 mRNA transcript, pde9A2. The human and mouse isoforms have 93 and 83% sequence identity at the amino acid and nucleotide levels, respectively. PDE9A was mapped to 21q22.3, between TFF1 and D21S360. Comparison of the PDE9A1 cDNA with the genomic sequence from the region revealed that the gene is split into 20 exons that extend over 122 kb. Comparison of the physical map of the region and the genomic sequence further refines the mapping, with D21S113 being derived from intron 15. Several genetic disorders map to 21q22.3, including one form of bipolar affective disorder. Since functional disturbances in intraneuronal signal transmission via second messengers play an important role in the pathophysiology of affective disorders, PDE9A is a strong candidate for such a role by position and function.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.

D017398 Alternative Splicing A process whereby multiple RNA transcripts are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of other possible sets of EXONS during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form a mature RNA. The alternative forms of mature MESSENGER RNA produce PROTEIN ISOFORMS in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.
