Abstract excerpt
The phosphorylation-activated anion channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is gated by an ATP hydrolysis cycle at its two cytosolic nucleotide-binding domains, and is essential for epithelial salt-water transport. A large number of CFTR mutations cause cystic fibrosis. Since recent breakthrough in targeted pharmacotherapy, CFTR mutants with impaired gating are candidates for...
