2Present address: Unidad de Genética Molecular, Hospital Ramón y Cajal, 28034 Madrid, Spain Correspondence should be addressed to P.C.H. Characterization of the polycystic kidney disease 1 (PKD1) gene has been complicated by genomic rearrangements on chromosome 16. We have used an exon linking strategy, taking RNA from a cell line containing PKD1 but not the duplicate loci, to clone a cDNA contig of the entire transcript. The transcript consists of 14,148 bp (including a correction to the previously described C terminus), distributed among 46 exons spanning 52 kb. The predicted PKD1 protein, polycystin, is a glycoprotein with multiple transmembrane domains and a cytoplasmic C-tail. The N−terminal extracellular region of over 2,500 aa contains leucine−rich repeats, a C−type lectin, 16 immunoglobulin−like repeats and four type III fibronectin−related domains. Our results indicate that polycystin is an integral membrane protein involved in cell−cell/matrix interactions. REFERENCES
