Abstract excerpt
The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) modulator VX-445 (Elexacaftor) used to treat cystic fibrosis presents both corrector and potentiator activities. This drug binds to a pocket within the CFTR membrane-spanning domain (MSD) assembly, in contact with the lasso motif. We have previously shown that the corrector activity of VX-445 is modulated by mutations within MSD1 and the nucleotide...
