Abstract excerpt
Deletion of Phe at position 508 (F508del) in CFTR is the commonest cause of Cystic Fibrosis; this mutation affects the fate of the protein, since most of the F508del-CFTR is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, ubiquitylated and degraded. CFTR is subjected to different post-translational modifications (PTMs) and the possibility to modulate these PTMs has been suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy for...
