Biochemical and biophysical identification of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channels as components of endocytic clathrin-coated vesicles.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis results from mutations in the gene encoding the CFTR Cl- channel. Although CFTR occurs as an integral component of the plasma membrane, recent studies implicate CFTR in endocytic recycling and suggest that the protein may also exist in intracellular vesicular compartments. To test this, we analyzed CFTR in clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) purified from cells constitutively expressing CFTR at high...
