Small Heat-Shock Proteins Select ΔF508-CFTR for Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated Degradation
21 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Secreted proteins that fail to achieve their native conformations, such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and particularly the DeltaF508-CFTR variant can be selected for endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) by molecular chaperones. Because the message corresponding to HSP26, which encodes a small heat-shock protein (sHsp) in yeast was up-regulated in response to...
