Cloning and Expression of Receptor of Egg Jelly Protein of Polycystic Kidney Disease 1 Gene in Human Receptor of Egg Jelly Protein

Characterization of mouse polycystic kidney disease and receptor for egg jelly gene and protein in heterologous and native system

Identification of a human homologue of the sea urchin receptor for egg jelly: a polycystic kidney disease-like protein.

Previous studies have shown sequence similarity between a region of the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) protein, polycystin-1 and a sea urchin sperm glycoprotein involved in fertilization, the receptor for egg jelly (suREJ). We have analysed sequence databases for novel genes encoding PKD/REJ-like proteins and found a significant region of homology to a large open reading f...

The sea urchin sperm receptor for egg jelly is a modular protein with extensive homology to the human polycystic kidney disease protein, PKD1

During fertilization, the sea urchin sperm acrosome reaction (AR), an ion channel-regulated event, is triggered by glycoproteins in egg jelly (EJ). A 210-kD sperm membrane glycoprotein is the receptor for EJ (REJ). This conclusion is based on the following data: purified REJ binds species specifically to EJ dotted onto nitrocellulose, an mAb to REJ induces the sperm AR, antibody induction is bl...

Cleavage of polycystin-1 requires the receptor for egg jelly domain and is disrupted by human autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease 1-associated mutations.

Polycystin-1 plays an essential role in renal tubular morphogenesis, and disruption of its function causes cystogenesis in human autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We demonstrated that polycystin-1 undergoes cleavage at G protein coupled receptor proteolytic site in a process that requires the receptor for egg jelly domain. Most of the N-terminal fragment remains tethered at ...
