Effect of PKD1 gene missense mutations on polycystin-1 membrane topogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Polycystin-1 (PC1), the product of the polycystic kidney disease-1 (PKD1) gene, has a number of reported missense mutations whose pathogenicity is indeterminate. Previously, we utilized N-linked glycosylation reporter tags along with membrane insertion and topology assays to define the 11 membrane-spanning domains (I-XI) of PC1. In this report, we utilize glycosylation assays to determine whether two reported human polymorphisms/missense mutations within transmembrane (TM) domains VI and X affect the membrane topology of PC1. M3677T within TM VI had no effect on the topology of this TM domain as shown by the ability of two native N-linked glycosylation sites within the extracellular loop following TM VI to be glycosylated. In contrast, G4031D, within TM X, decreased the glycosylation of TM X reporter constructs, demonstrating that the substitution affected the C-terminal translocating activity of TM X. Furthermore, G4031D reduced the membrane association of TM X and XI together. These results suggest that G4031D affects the membrane insertion and topology of the C-terminal portion of polycystin-1 and represents a bona fide pathogenic mutation.

Project description:Mutations in the PKD1 gene result in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common monogenetic cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in humans. Previous reports suggested that PKD1, together with PKD2/polycystin-2, may function as a receptor-cation channel complex at cilia and on intracellular membranes and participate in various signaling pathways to regulate cell survival, proliferation and macroautophagy/autophagy. However, the exact molecular function of PKD1 and PKD2 has remained enigmatic. Here we used Pkd1-deficient mouse inner medullary collecting duct cells (mIMCD3) genetically deleted for Pkd1, and tubular epithelial cells isolated from nephrons of doxycycline-inducible conditional pkd1fl/fl;Pax8rtTA;TetOCre+ knockout mice to show that the lack of Pkd1 caused diminished lysosomal acidification, LAMP degradation and reduced CTSB/cathepsin B processing and activity. This led to an impairment of autophagosomal-lysosomal fusion, a lower delivery of ubiquitinated cargo from multivesicular bodies (MVB)/exosomes to lysosomes and an enhanced secretion of unprocessed CTSB into the extracellular space. The TFEB-dependent lysosomal biogenesis pathway was however unaffected. Pkd1-deficient cells exhibited increased activity of the calcium-dependent CAPN (calpain) proteases, probably due to a higher calcium influx. Consistent with this notion CAPN inhibitors restored lysosomal function, CTSB processing/activity and autophagosomal-lysosomal fusion, and blocked CTSB secretion and LAMP degradation in pkd1 knockout cells. Our data reveal for the first time a lysosomal function of PKD1 which keeps CAPN activity in check and ensures lysosomal integrity and a correct autophagic flux.Abbreviations: acCal: acetyl-calpastatin peptide; ADPKD: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; CI-1: calpain inhibitor-1; CQ: chloroquine; Dox: doxycycline; EV: extracellular vesicles; EXO: exosomes; LAMP1/2: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1/2; LGALS1/GAL1/galectin-1: lectin, galactose binding, soluble 1; LMP: lysosomal membrane permeabilization; mIMCD3: mouse inner medullary collecting duct cells; MV: microvesicles; MVB: multivesicular bodies; PAX8: paired box 8; PKD1/polycystin-1: polycystin 1, transient receptor potential channel interacting; PKD2/polycystin-2: polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel; Tet: tetracycline; TFEB: transcription factor EB; VFM: vesicle-free medium; WT: wild-type.
