A delta F508 mutation in mouse cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator results in a temperature-sensitive processing defect in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

The most prevalent mutation (delta F508) in cystic fibrosis patients inhibits maturation and transfer to the plasma membrane of the mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). We have analyzed the properties of a delta F508 CFTR mouse model, which we described recently. We show that the mRNA levels of mutant CFTR are normal in all tissues examined. Therefore the reduced mRNA levels reported...
