Molecular basis of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease

Abstract: Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common monogenetic diseases in humans. The discovery that mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes are responsible for ADPKD has sparked extensive research efforts into the physiological and pathogenetic role of polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, the proteins encoded by these two genes. While polycystin-1 may mediate the contact among cells or between cells and the extracellular matrix, a lot of evidence suggests that polycystin-2 represents an en… Show more

“…Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) 4 is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic diseases; it occurs in at least 1 in 1000 people (1,2). It causes many large fluid-filled cysts in the kidney and often in the liver and pancreas as well.…”

“…The large extracellular portion contains a novel combination of motifs originally found in other proteins that appear to be involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). The C terminus of PC1 contains a coiled-coil domain responsible for interacting with PC2 (8,9).…”

“…So far the physiological function of polycystin-2 and the mechanism of cyst formation have remained a mystery (9). A lot of evidence indicates that the majority of polycystin-2 resides in the endoplasmic reticulum both in cell lines (10 -12) and in the kidney (6,10,12), although there are contradicting results (3,13).…”
