A Conserved Region of the R Domain of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Is Important in Processing and Function
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
The R domain of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) connects the two halves of the protein, each of which possess a transmembrane-spanning domain and a nucleotide binding domain. Phosphorylation of serine residues, which reside mostly within the C-terminal two-thirds of the R domain, is required for nucleotide-dependent activation of CFTR chloride channel activity. The N terminus of the R...
