Abstract excerpt
The most frequent mutant variant of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), DeltaF508-CFTR, is misprocessed and subsequently degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum. Using the patch-clamp technique, we showed that co-expressions of DeltaF508-CFTR with the N-terminal CFTR truncates containing bi-arginine (RXR) retention/retrieval motifs result in a functional rescue of the DeltaF508-CFTR...
