Localization and suppression of a kinetic defect in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator folding.

Abstract excerpt

A growing body of evidence indicates that the most common cystic fibrosis-causing mutation, DeltaF508, alters the ability of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein to fold and transit to the plasma membrane. Here we present evidence that the DeltaF508 mutation affects a step on the folding pathway prior to formation of the ATP binding site in the nucleotide binding domain (NBD)....
