Abstrakt: The sixth family phosphodiesterases (PDE6) are principal effector enzymes of the phototransduction cascade in rods and cones. Maturation of nascent PDE6 protein into a functional enzyme relies on a coordinated action of ubiquitous chaperone HSP90, its specialized cochaperone aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1), and the regulatory Pγ-subunit of PDE6. Deficits in PDE6 maturation and function underlie severe visual disorders and blindness. Here, to elucidate the roles of HSP90, AIPL1, and Pγ in the maturation process, we developed the heterologous expression system of human cone PDE6C in insect cells allowing characterization of the purified enzyme. We demonstrate that in the absence of Pγ, HSP90, and AIPL1 convert the inactive and aggregating PDE6C species into dimeric PDE6C that is predominantly misassembled. Nonetheless, a small fraction of PDE6C is properly assembled and fully functional. From the analysis of mutant mice that lack both rod Pγ and PDE6C, we conclude that, in contrast to the cone enzyme, no maturation of rod PDE6AB occurs in the absence of Pγ. Co-expression of PDE6C with AIPL1 and Pγ in insect cells leads to a fully mature enzyme that is equivalent to retinal PDE6. Lastly, using immature PDE6C and purified chaperone components, we reconstituted the process of the client maturation in vitro. Based on this analysis we propose a scheme for the PDE6 maturation process.
