Fig. 3. PDE4D4 interacts with spectrin in pulmonary endothelial cells. (A) Non-erythroid spectrin is comprised of
II and βII subunits, which form a heterotetramer. PDE4D4 dimers bind
II subunit SH3 domains. (B) Co-immunoprecipitation studies using
II spectrin antibody followed by immunoblotting with antibody to PDE4D reveal a 115 kDa band in PMVECs consistent with the PDE4D splice variant PDE4D4. Overexpression of PDE4D4 in PAECs resolved a 115 kDa band that co-immunoprecipitated with
II spectrin.
