Enhanced cell-surface stability of rescued ΔF508 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) by pharmacological chaperones
27 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Misfolded proteins destined for the cell surface are recognized and degraded by the ERAD [ER (endoplasmic reticulum) associated degradation] pathway. TS (temperature-sensitive) mutants at the permissive temperature escape ERAD and reach the cell surface. In this present paper, we examined a TS mutant of the CFTR [CF (cystic fibrosis) transmembrane conductance regulator], CFTR DeltaF508, and analysed its...
