THE SECOND MESSENGER cyclic AMP (cAMP) regulates a wide number of cellular responses, which include gene transcription, metabolism, and cell death, and tissue-specific functions such as the integrity of the endothelial barrier in the lung. cAMP signaling is triggered by binding of hormones and neurotransmitters to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) via the stimulatory G subunit, leading to the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) and the subsequent activation of downstream effectors such as protein kinase A (PKA), exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), and cyclic nucleotidegated (CNG) channels: cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) hydrolyze cAMP and terminate its actions. It is currently accepted that cAMP signaling is not merely a linear cascade but more complex, since each enzymatic component involved in its generation and action is expressed as different isoforms and cAMP signaling is organized in discrete subcellular domains (2, 10). Compartmentalization of cAMP, by bringing cAMP close to specific targets, is important in shaping the differential physiological responses of various agonists and has become the standard model for numerous other signaling pathways.Evidence for the spatial and temporal regulation of cAMP has been directly shown with the development of live-cell biosensors, such as CNG-channel sensors and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensors for PKA or EPAC (4); however, the exact mechanisms that shape the intracellular gradients of cAMP are not fully understood. In particular, subcellular anchoring of components of the cAMP pathway and diffusional barriers, primarily provided by PDEs, play a key role in the subcellular localization and effect of cAMP signaling. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAP) sequester cAMP effectors, such as PKA, EPAC, and PDEs, thereby forming intracellular-specific signaling complexes in close proximity to cAMP targets (2): disruption of specific AKAPs in subcellular domains can remove PKA from a specific target, thus altering the cellular effects of cAMP (7). In parallel, PDEs provide an enzymatic barrier to locally degrade cAMP and generate multiple subcellular “pools” with different cAMP concentrations, thereby controlling the level and persistence of a cAMP signal and activation of downstream effects (10). For example, dominant-negative and knockdown strategies have shown that individual PDE4 isoforms control cAMP levels in defined subcellular compartments and couple to specific GPCR signaling cascades, and are thereby important for generating
