PKD2 structural destabilization drives primary cilia degeneration and ADPKD pathogenicity.

Patricia Outeda, Qinzhe Wang, Thuy N. Vien, Orhi Esarte Palomero, Louise Faggionato Kimura, Perry Summers, Terry J. Watnick, Feng Qian, Erhu Cao, Paul G. DeCaen

This study investigates how a PKD2 mutation causes primary cilia degeneration and ADPKD by analyzing its structural and functional impact in vitro and in vivo.

Kidney cystogenesis in embryonic- and adult-onset ADPKD is suppressed from lack of adenylyl cyclase targeting to cilia

Sun-Hee Hwang, Kyungsuk Choi, Hemant Badgandi, Kevin A. White, Yu Xun, Owen M. Woodward, Feng Qian, Saikat Mukhopadhyay

This study identifies ANKMY2's role in ciliary adenylyl cyclase trafficking, showing its suppression reduces cystogenesis in ADPKD models without affecting cAMP levels or cilia structure.
