Abstract excerpt
The most common mutation (F508del) causing cystic fibrosis (CF) results in misfolding of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), leading to its degradation via the proteasome pathway. To study the mechanism of action of several pharmacological chaperones benzo[c]quinolizinium (MPB), we analyzed their effects on two CF mutations; F508del-CFTR and G622D-CFTR. The replacement of Gly622 by an aspartic acid...
