Ca2+-dependent conformational changes in a C-terminal cytosolic domain of polycystin-2.

The PKD1 and PKD2 genes are the genes that are mutated in patients suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The human PKD2 gene codes for a 968-amino acid long membrane protein called polycystin-2 that represents a cation channel whose activity can be regulated by Ca(2+) ions. By CD, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopy, we have studied a 117-amino acid-long fragment of the cy...

Structural Basis for Gating and Activation of RyR1

The type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) release channel required for skeletal muscle contraction. Here, we present cryo-EM reconstructions of RyR1 in multiple functional states revealing the structural basis of channel gating and ligand-dependent activation. Binding sites for the channel activators Ca(2+), ATP, and caffeine were identified at interdomain interf...

Distribution and function of polycystin-2 in mouse retinal ganglion cells.

The polycystin family of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels form Ca(2+) regulated cation channels with distinct subcellullar localizations and functions. As part of heteromultimeric channels and multi-protein complexes, polycystins control intracellular Ca(2+) signals and more generally the translation of extracellular signals and stimuli to intracellular responses. Polycystin-2 channe...

Quantifying the interaction of the C-terminal regions of polycystin-2 and polycystin-1 attached to a lipid bilayer by means of QCM.

The pkd1 and pkd2 genes encode for the proteins polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2). These genes are mutated in patients diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. PC1 and PC2 interact via their C-terminal, cytosolic regions, which is an essential step in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Here, we developed an assay that allowed us to quantitative...

A polycystin-2 (TRPP2) dimerization domain essential for the function of heteromeric polycystin complexes.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in two genes, PKD1 and PKD2, which encode polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), respectively. Earlier work has shown that PC1 and PC2 assemble into a polycystin complex implicated in kidney morphogenesis. PC2 also assembles into homomers of uncertain functional significance. However, little is known about the molec...
