Discovery of novel potent ΔF508-CFTR correctors that target the nucleotide binding domain
The deletion of Phe508 (ΔF508) in the first nucleotide binding domain (NBD1) of CFTR is the most common mutation associated with cystic fibrosis. The ΔF508-CFTR mutant is recognized as improperly folded and targeted for proteasomal degradation. Based on molecular dynamics simulation results, we hypothesized that interaction between ΔF508-NBD1 and housekeeping proteins prevents ΔF508-CFTR delive...
متن کاملPharmacological Correctors of Mutant CFTR Mistrafficking
The lack of phenylalanine 508 (ΔF508 mutation) in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel represents the most frequent cause of CF, a genetic disease affecting multiple organs such as lung, pancreas, and liver. ΔF508 causes instability and misfolding of CFTR protein leading to early degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum and accelerated removal from t...
متن کاملCorrectors promote folding of the CFTR in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is most commonly caused by deletion of a residue (DeltaF508) in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) protein. The misfolded mutant protein is retained in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and is not trafficked to the cell surface (misprocessed mutant). Corrector molecules such as corr-2b or corr-4a are small molecules that increase the amount of funct...
متن کاملIn vivo phosphorylation of CFTR promotes formation of a nucleotide-binding domain heterodimer.
The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) is a chloride channel, whose dysfunction causes cystic fibrosis. To gain structural insight into the dynamic interaction between CFTR's nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) proposed to underlie channel gating, we introduced target cysteines into the NBDs, expressed the channels in Xenopus oocyte...
متن کاملObligate coupling of CFTR pore opening to tight nucleotide-binding domain dimerization
In CFTR, the chloride channel mutated in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, ATP-binding-induced dimerization of two cytosolic nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) opens the pore, and dimer disruption following ATP hydrolysis closes it. Spontaneous openings without ATP are rare in wild-type CFTR, but in certain CF mutants constitute the only gating mechanism, stimulated by ivacaftor, a clinically appro...
