| Abstract | The PKD domain was first identified in the Polycystic kidney disease protein, polycystin-1 (PDK1 gene), and contains an Ig-like fold consisting of a beta-sandwich of seven strands in two sheets with a Greek key topology, although some members have additional strands [ 9889186]. Polycystin-1 is a large cell-surface glycoprotein involved in adhesive protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions; however it is not clear if the PKD domain mediates any of these interactions.
PKD domains are also found in other proteins, usually in the extracellular parts of proteins involved in interactions with other proteins. For example, domains with a PKD-type fold are found in archaeal surface layer proteins that protect the cell from extreme environments [12377130], and in the human VPS10 domain-containing receptor SorCS2 [11499680]. |

The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry
out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level. Click on the 'Genome Assignments'
icon above to view the genome assignments for this superfamily.
Alignments of sequences to Alignments of sequences to 3 models
in this superfamily are available by clicking on the superfamily level 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical
are shown by default, but any other sequences may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own.
It is possible to browse and view the proteins in the genomes which have
different combinations of domains including a PKD domain domain. Click on the 'Domain Combinations' icon.
To view the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom click on the 'TaxViz' icon above. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.
Undirected domain occurrence networks are available for all superfamilies. Nodes in these networks represent genomes. Connections between nodes represent the presence of domain architectures, which contain the superfamily of interest, in both genomes.
There are 3 hidden Markov models representing the PKD domain superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be viewed by clicking on the icon above.
