Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) are ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters that have two transmembrane domains (TMDs) and two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). Defective folding of CFTR lacking phenylalanine 508 (DeltaPhe508) in NBD1 is the most common cause of cystic fibrosis. The Phe508 position seems to be universally important in ABC transporters because...
