Identification of proteins that interact with podocin using the yeast 2-hybrid system.
As a membrane protein at the insertion site of the slit diaphragm (SD) complex in podocyte foot processes, podocin has been reported to act as a scaffolding protein required to maintain or regulate the structural integrity of the SD. In order to identify proteins that associate or interact with podocin, we screened a mouse kidney complementary DNA (cDNA) library using a yeast 2-hybrid system. ⋯ Additional studies are needed to clarify the role and interaction with podocin and candidates.
