Unveiling the structural basis of lipid-dependent allosteric gating in PC1-PC2 ion channels, crucial for ADPKD. Discover how PG and PA keep channels closed! PMID:42420301, Nat Commun 2026, @NatureComms https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-75084-8 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪
Structural basis of lipid-dependent allosteric gating mechanisms for PC1-PC2 ion channel | Nature Communications
The polycystin complex, consisting of one polycystin-1 (PC1) and three polycystin-2 (PC2), forms a cation channel localized to the primary cilium and is critically involved in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This study reveals an allosteric gating mechanism of the PC1-PC2 channel modulated by specific membrane lipids. In typical membrane environments, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) bind to the channel central pore, maintaining it in a closed state. Dissociation of these lipids transitions the channel to a pre-open state. The cilia-enriched oxysterol 7β,27-dihydroxycholesterol (7β,27-DHC) stabilizes the channel in a more open but still non-conductive conformation through an allosteric mechanism. Lipid-mediated regulation is coupled to large conformational rearrangements of the TOP and voltage-sensor-like domains (VSDs) of the third PC2 subunit, which eventually leads to pore opening. This lipid-dependent modulation is also obser

ADPKD is more than a cystic kidney disease. #Perspective in #ASNJASN highlights how metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction may accelerate ADPKD progression, supporting a more holistic CKM approach to prevention, treatment, and patient care. #ADPKD kidney.pub/JASN1291 @cu-kidney.bsky.social

Our kidneys have their own “body clock.” A #basicresearch study in #ASNKidney360 suggests that in ADPKD, that clock may be disrupted as cysts grow. Researchers hope these findings could lead to new ways to protect kidney function in the future. kidney.pub/KID1347

Had a great time at #KidneyWeek, seeing old friends again and meeting new ones.
So happy to see that the American Society of Nephrology program had so many sessions on #ADPKD and other #cystic kidney diseases this year 🔥

And thanks again to #KidneyCure for the award and reception 🙏

🫘 Empagliflozin in ADPKD: A pilot RCT (JASN; n=50) showed good tolerability and an early eGFR dip followed by stabilization, but greater kidney volume increase vs placebo.

🔬 Larger trials needed.
