Abstract excerpt
Activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl‒ channel requires PKA phosphorylation at the regulatory (R) domain to relieve inhibition of ATP-dependent channel activity. This study aimed to identify the primary inhibitory site that prevents channel activation. CFTR mutants with deletion of residues 760 to 783 (ΔR760-783) elicited constitutive macroscopic and single-channel Cl‒...
