PKGIα and PKGIβ are each highly expressed in various cardiovascular tissues, including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), cardiac and vascular fibroblasts, endothelium, and CMs. 3, 4 Many prior studies of PKGI focused on understanding its mechanism of inducing VSMC relaxation and arterial dilation. These studies have been reviewed extensively. 1 Whole-body PKGI knockout (KO) leads to abnormal vascular relaxation. 5 And, selective mutation of the PKGIα LZ interaction domain in mice also produces hypertension and vascular dysfunction. 6 To date, multiple PKGIα and PKGIβ LZ-dependent substrates have been identified in VSMC, 1 further supporting a critical role of the specific PKGIα and PKGIβ LZ domains in regulating cardiovascular function.
