Abstract:
The disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) gene is a candidatesusceptibility factor for schizophrenia, but its mechanisticrole in the disorder is unknown. Here we report that the geneencoding phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) is disrupted by a balancedtranslocation in a subject diagnosed with schizophrenia anda relative with chronic psychiatric illness. The PDEs inactivateadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), a second messenger implicatedin learning, memory, and mood. We show that DISC1 interactswith the UCR2 domain of PDE4B and that elevation of cellularcAMP leads to dissociation of PDE4B from DISC1 and an increasein PDE4B activity. We propose a mechanistic model whereby DISC1sequesters PDE4B in resting cells and releases it in an activatedstate in response to elevated cAMP.
