Abstract excerpt
Regulatory interactions of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) are readily apparent in Xenopus oocytes. However, the mechanism underlying these interactions remains controversial. CFTR's first nucleotide binding fold (NBD-1) may be important in these interactions, as dysfunctional CFTRs containing mutations within NBD-1, such as DeltaF508 and...
