CFTR Folding: From Structure and Proteostasis to Cystic Fibrosis Personalized Medicine.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disease caused by mutations in the chloride ion channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Class-II mutants of CFTR lack intermolecular interactions important for CFTR structural stability and lead to misfolding. Misfolded CFTR is detected by a diverse suite of proteostasis factors that preferentially bind and route mutant CFTR toward premature...
