The cystic fibrosis mutation G1349D within the signature motif LSHGH of NBD2 abolishes the activation of CFTR chloride channels by genistein.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common lethal genetic disease caused by autosomal recessive mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel that belongs to the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) family of transporters. The class III CF mutations G551D and G1349D are located within the "signature" sequence LSGGQ and LSHGH of NBD1 and NBD2, respectively. We have constructed by...
