NPHS2 is almost exclusively expressed in the podocytes of fetal and mature kidney glomeruli, and encodes a new integral membrane protein, podocin, belonging to the stomatin protein family.

|
Its product, podocin, is a new member of the stomatin family, which consists of hairpin-like integral membrane proteins with intracellular NH(2)- and COOH-termini.
|

11733557
|
Moreover, GST pull-down experiments reveal that podocin associates via its COOH-terminal domain with CD2AP, a cytoplasmic binding partner of nephrin, and with nephrin itself.
|
4 |
11733557
|
That podocin interacts with CD2AP and nephrin in vivo is shown by coimmunoprecipitation of these proteins from glomerular extracts.
|
5 |
11733557
|
Hence, as with the erythrocyte lipid raft protein stomatin, podocin is present in high-order oligomers and may serve a scaffolding function.

|
Given its similarity with the stomatin family proteins, podocin is predicted to be an integral membrane protein with a single membrane domain forming a hairpin-like structure placing both N- and C-termini in the cytosol.

|
Molecular basis of the functional podocin-nephrin complex: mutations in the NPHS2 gene disrupt nephrin targeting to lipid raft microdomains.
|
12 |
14570703
|
Mutations of NPHS1 or NPHS2, the genes encoding for nephrin and podocin, lead to early onset of heavy proteinuria, and rapid progression to end-stage renal disease, suggesting that both proteins are essential for the integrity of the glomerular filter.
|
13 |

|
Podocin is a stomatin protein family member with a predicted hairpin-like structure localizing to the insertion site of the slit diaphragm of podocytes, the visceral glomerular epithelial cells of the kidney.
|
14 |

|
The association of podocin with specialized lipid raft microdomains of the plasma membrane was a prerequisite for recruitment of nephrin into rafts.
|
15 |
14570703
|
In contrast, disease-causing mutations of podocin (R138Q and R138X) failed to recruit nephrin into rafts either because these mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (R138Q), or because they failed to associate with rafts (R138X) despite their presence in the plasma membrane.
|
16 |

|
Our findings demonstrate that the failure of mutant podocin to recruit nephrin into lipid rafts may be essential for the pathogenesis of NPHS2.
|

|
Podocin, a plasma membrane anchored stomatin-like protein, is expressed in lipid rafts at the insertion of the slit diaphragm in podocytes.

|
Its gene product, the stomatin family member protein podocin represents a core component of the slit diaphragm, a unique structure that bridges the space between adjacent podocyte foot processes in the kidney glomerulus.

Loss of the stomatin/PHB/flotillin/HflK/C (SPFH) domain containing protein PHB2 causes mitochondrial dysfunction and defective mitochondria-mediated signaling, which is implicated in a variety of human diseases, including progressive renal disease.
|
20 |
27105734
|
PHB2 coprecipitated with podocin, another SPFH domain-containing protein, essential for the assembly of the slit diaphragm protein-lipid supercomplex.
|
21 |
27105734
|
Consistent with an evolutionarily conserved extra-mitochondrial function, the ortholog of PHB2 in Caenorhabditis elegans was also not restricted to mitochondria but colocalized with the mechanosensory complex that requires the podocin ortholog MEC2 for assembly.

Podocin, an integral membrane protein belonging to stomatin family, is expressed exclusively in podocytes and is localized to slit-diaphragm (SD).
|

|
Several proteins including podocin, nephrin, CD2AP, and TRPC6 form a macromolecular assembly and constitute the slit-diaphragm.
|
24 |

|
Podocin shares 44% homology with stomatin family proteins and similar to the stomatin proteins, podocin was shown to associate into higher-order oligomers at the site of slit-diaphragm.

Opposing effects of podocin on the gating of podocyte TRPC6 channels evoked by membrane stretch or diacylglycerol.
|
26 |

|
Gain-of-function mutations in the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) gene and mutations in the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin result in nephrotic syndromes.
|
27 |
23657570
|
Stretch activation of podocyte TRPC6 persisted in the presence of inhibitors of phospholipase C (U-73122) and phospholipase A2 (ONO-RS-082).
|
28 |
23657570
|
Podocin and TRPC6 interact at their respective COOH termini.
|
29 |
23657570
|
Knockdown of podocin markedly increased stretch-evoked activation of TRPC6 but nearly abolished TRPC6 activation evoked by a diacylglycerol analog.
|
30 |
23657570
|
These data suggest that podocin acts as a switch to determine the preferred mode of TRPC6 activation.
|
31 |
23657570
|
They also suggest that podocin deficiencies will result in Ca(2+) overload in foot processes, as with gain-of-function mutations in the TRPC6 gene.
|
32 |
23657570
|
Finally, they suggest that mechanical activation of TRP family channels and the preferred mode of TRP channel activation may depend on whether members of the stomatin/prohibitin family of hairpin loop proteins are present.
