| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is important for protein function.a mutant that lacks the N-terminal phosphorylation sites cannot complement a zebrafish pkd2-deficient mutant. PKD-mediated phosphorylation at the C-terminus regulates its function in the release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum. Phosphorylation at Ser-812 regulates PKD2 trafficking. Phosphorylation at Ser-76 is required for PKD2 trafficking to or retention at the lateral plasma membrane. Phosphorylation at Ser-801, Ser-812 and Ser-829 regulates PKD2 channel activity. N-glycosylated. The four subunits in a tetramer probably differ in the extent of glycosylation.simultaneous glycosylation of all experimentally validated sites would probably create steric hindrance. Thus, glycosylation at Asn-305 is not compatible with glycosylation at Asn-328.only one of these two residues is glycosylated at a given time. Sumoylated by SUMO1.sumoylation regulates PKD2 membrane recycling and is necessary for intravascular pressure-induced arterial contractility. |
| Function | Forms a nonselective cation channel. Can function as a homotetrameric ion channel or can form heteromer with PKD1. Displays distinct function depending on its subcellular localization and regulation by its binding partners. In primary cilium functions as a cation channel, with a preference for monovalent cations over divalent cations that allows K(+), Na(+) and Ca(2+) influx, with low selectivity for Ca(2+). Involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium. In the endoplasmic reticulum, likely functions as a K(+) channel to facilitate Ca(2+) release. The heterotetrameric PKD1/PKD2 channel has higher Ca(2+) permeability than homomeric PKD2 channel and acts as a primarily Ca(2+)-permeable channel. Interacts with and acts as a regulator of a number of other channels, such as TRPV4, TRPC1, IP3R, RYR2, ultimately further affecting intracellular signaling, to modulate intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. Together with TRPV4, forms mechano- and thermosensitive channels in cilium. In cardiomyocytes, PKD2 modulates Ca(2+) release from stimulated RYR2 receptors through direct association. Also involved in left-right axis specification via its role in sensing nodal flow.forms a complex with PKD1L1 in cilia to facilitate flow detection in left-right patterning. Acts as a regulator of cilium length together with PKD1. Mediates systemic blood pressure and contributes to the myogenic response in cerebral arteries though vasoconstriction. |
