Abstract excerpt
VX-770 (ivacaftor) is approved for clinical use in CF patients bearing multiple CFTR mutations. VX-770 potentiated wildtype CFTR and several disease mutants expressed in oocytes in a manner modulated by PKA-mediated phosphorylation. Potentiation of some other mutants, including G551D-CFTR, was less dependent upon the level of phosphorylation, likely related to the severe gating defects in these mutants exhibited...
