PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • signal peptide
  • multiple copies (6 to 7) of a domain TIG/IPT (immunoglobulin-like fold shared by plexing and transcription factors)
  • TMEM2 homology domain
  • DKFZ homology domain
  • transmembrane domain
  • C terminal EF-hand domain (to associate with a calcium ion), and a large extracellular domain that is tethered to the C-terminal stalk by disulfide bridges, cleaved at a probable proprotein convertase site, and with a PKD2 -binding domain
  • cytoplasmic tail, reported to include a ciliary targeting sequence, a nuclear localization signal, and a polycystin-2 binding domain, is thought to traffic to the nucleus after cleavage

    text
  • type I membrane protein, ciliary localization, in primary apical cilia
  • localized in the primary cilia of kidney tubular epithelia cells and cholangiocytes of bile ducts
  • endogenous form localizes to the centrosome and mitotic spindle in human renal epithelial cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may be a receptor protein that acts in collecting-duct and biliary differentiation
  • functional and/or structural component of primary cilia in kidney tubular cells
  • novel function in centrosome duplication and mitotic spindle assembly during cell division and mitotic defects due to its dysfunction contribute to cystogenesis in ARPKD
  • may form a signaling complex at the spindle pole with other cystogenic proteins and modulate mitotic spindle orientation and bipolarity during mitosis, in addition to their role in primary cilia in fully differentiated cells

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Ca2+
  • protein
  • interacts with CAMLG, a protein with an intracellular distribution that is similar to that of PKD2
  • interacting with PKD1, PKD2 (PKD1 locus could potentially be important modifiers of ARPKD disease severity)
  • interaction with PI3K/Akt pathway which is involved in apoptotic function in PKHD1-silenced cells, and PI3K/Akt inhibition correlates with upregulation of NFKB activity
  • PKHD1 regulates RHOA levels and function
  • disruption of PKHD1 function results in dysregulated trafficking of both ubiquitin E3 ligases, SMURF1 and SMURF2
  • ATMIN is a modulator of PKHD1
  • cell & other
