Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis commonly occurs as a consequence of the DeltaF508 mutation in the first nucleotide binding fold domain (NBF-1) of CFTR. The mutation causes retention of the mutant CFTR molecule in the endoplasmic reticulum, and this aberrant trafficking event is believed to be due to defective interactions between the mutant NBF-1 domain and other cellular factors in the endoplasmic reticulum. Since the NBF-1...
