|
Homodimerization and heterodimerization of the glomerular podocyte proteins nephrin and NEPH1.
|

12660326
|
Nephrin and NEPH1, the gene products of NPHS1 and NEPH1, are podocyte membrane proteins of the Ig superfamily.
|
3 |

|
Similar to the nephrin knockout, mice lacking NEPH1 show severe proteinuria leading to perinatal death.
|
4 |
12660326
|
This NEPH1-Ig fusion protein labeled the glomerular capillary wall of mouse kidneys in a staining pattern identical to NEPH1 and nephrin, prompting speculation that that NEPH1 might form homodimers and/or heterodimers with nephrin.
|
5 |
12660326
|
Fusion proteins containing two Ig domains of NEPH1 were sufficient to immobilize NEPH1, but they failed to interact with control protein containing the phylogenetically related PKD repeats of polycystin-1.
|
6 |

|
NEPH1 also precipitated nephrin, a protein with eight Ig domains and a fibronectin-like domain.
|
7 |
12660326
|
Truncational analysis of nephrin revealed a very similar mode of interaction, i.e., two nephrin Ig domains fused to human IgG precipitated either nephrin or NEPH1, but not the control protein.
|
8 |
12660326
|
Both NEPH1 and nephrin interactions were strictly dependent upon posttranslational glycosylation, and bacterially expressed protein failed to bind NEPH1.
|
9 |
12660326
|
These findings demonstrate that the Ig domains of NEPH1 and nephrin form promiscuous homodimeric and heterodimeric interactions that may facilitate cis- and trans- homodimerizations and heterodimerizations of these molecules at the glomerular slit diaphragm.

|
Polycystin 1 regulates mTOR activity through different pathways, and TSC intersects with the primary cilium, a crucial cell organelle in the pathogenesis of PKD.
|

23376035
|
Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2, the genes encoding the proteins polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
|

|
Knockout of the polycystic kidney disease genes PKD1 or PKD2 induces cyst formation from kidney tubules.
