Abstract excerpt
Positively charged amino acid side-chains play important roles in anion binding and permeation through the CFTR chloride channel. One pore-lining lysine residue in particular (K95) has been shown to be indispensable for anion binding, conductance, and selectivity. Here, we use functional investigation of CFTR to show that a nearby arginine (R134) plays a functionally analogous role. Removal of this positive...
