Lipid-driven CFTR clustering is impaired in cystic fibrosis and restored by corrector drugs.

Abstract excerpt

Membrane proteins often cluster in nanoscale membrane domains (lipid rafts) that coalesce into ceramide-rich platforms during cell stress, however the clustering mechanisms remain uncertain. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which is mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF), forms clusters that are cholesterol dependent and become incorporated into long-lived platforms during hormonal...
