The University of Pittsburgh received a $198,750 Project Grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) to develop a rapid, quantitative platform using yeast to classify how approximately 70 identified mutations in the polycystin-1 (PC1) protein disrupt channel activity with PC2. This research aims to provide new reagents and assays to the scientific and PKD (polycystic kidney disease) community to study the molecular defects of PC1 mutants. The...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $148,986 to the University of Pittsburgh to investigate the role of BK gamma subunits in regulating potassium secretion in the kidney. The award supports a 5-year research project focused on understanding how the BKγ2 subunit, which is highly expressed in intercalated cells, is regulated by dietary potassium intake and influences overall kidney potassium handling. The research aims to elucidate the physiological mechanisms underlying this process, which is critical for maintaining whole-body potassium homeostasis. Findings from this project are expected to significantly advance the current understanding of renal potassium transport and the broader importance of BKγ subunits as a novel class of BK channel regulatory proteins.
