Deleted in primary ciliary dyskinesia, mouse, homolog of; dpcd

CLONING

By searching databases for homologs of mouse Dpcd, followed by RT-PCR of cultured human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells, Zariwala et al. (2004) cloned human DPCD. The predicted 23-kD human DPCD protein shares 88% identity with the mouse protein. It contains potential phosphorylation, glycosylation, and amidation sites. Like mouse Dpcd, human DPCD overlaps the POLL gene (606343) on the opposite strand. Northern blot analysis of human tissues revealed highest expression of a 0.82-kb DPCD transcript in testis, similar to POLL. Much lower DPCD expression was detected in pancreas, skeletal muscle, and heart.

MAPPING

Zariwala et al. (2004) reported that human DPCD maps to chromosome 10, where it partially overlaps the POLL gene on the opposite strand. The mouse Dpcd gene is located in the syntenic region on chromosome 19. Gross (2015) mapped the DPCD gene to chromosome 10q24.32 based on an alignment of the DPCD sequence (GenBank GENBANK BC031695) with the genomic sequence (GRCh38).

ANIMAL MODEL

Kobayashi et al. (2002) generated Poll -/- mice, which exhibited hydrocephalus, high mortality rate after birth, situs inversus totalis, chronic sinusitis, and male infertility due to immotility of sperm. Consistent with the phenotype, ultrastructural analysis revealed a defect of inner dynein arms in cilia from ependymal cells and respiratory epithelium of Poll -/- mice. Zariwala et al. (2004) examined the genetic construct used by Kobayashi et al. (2002) to generate Poll -/- mice, which exhibited features of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD; 244400). They noted that deletion of only the catalytic domain of Poll in a separate study by Bertocci et al. (2002) resulted in mice with a normal phenotype. Zariwala et al. (2004) determined that deletion of Poll by Kobayashi et al. (2002) also deleted exon 1 of Dpcd on the opposite strand. Northern blot analysis of cultured HBE cells showed that DPCD expression increased during ciliated cell differentiation, whereas expression of POLL decreased. Zariwala et al. (2004) concluded that the PCD phenotype observed in the Poll -/- mice reported by Kobayashi et al. (2002) likely resulted from loss of Dpcd rather than Poll. ... More on the omim web site
