Alteration of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Folding Pathway
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
The cellular phenotype of the most common cystic fibrosis-causing mutation, deletion of phenylalanine 508 (deltaF508) in the amino-terminal nucleotide binding domain (NBD1) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), is the inability of the mutant protein to fold and transit to the apical membrane of affected epithelial cells. Expressed NBD1s were purified and folded in vitro into soluble...
