A yeast phenomic model for the gene interaction network modulating CFTR-ΔF508 protein biogenesis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The overall influence of gene interaction in human disease is unknown. In cystic fibrosis (CF) a single allele of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR-[increment]F508) accounts for most of the disease. In cell models, CFTR-[increment]F508 exhibits defective protein biogenesis and degradation rather than proper trafficking to the plasma membrane where CFTR normally functions....
