The multiple ubiquitination mechanisms in CFTR peripheral quality control.

Abstract excerpt

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-regulated anion channel, which is expressed on the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelial cells. Mutations in the CFTR gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the most common genetic diseases among Caucasians. Most CF-associated mutations result in misfolded CFTR proteins that are degraded by the endoplasmic reticulum quality control...
