Converting Map Projection meters to decimal degrees

I am using NASA's ISIS software to get data from their Planetary Data
System. I have already created a base map using the Proj4 projection
4326. But i am not sure how to convert an ISIS simpleCylindrical
projection (units in meters) to a Proj4 projection (units in decimal
degrees).
Thanks,
