Protein phosphatase 2C dephosphorylates and inactivates cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
cAMP-dependent phosphorylation activates the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in epithelia. However, the protein phosphatase (PP) that dephosphorylates and inactivates CFTR in airway and intestinal epithelia, two major sites of disease, is not certain. We found that in airway and colonic epithelia, neither okadaic acid nor FK506 prevented inactivation of CFTR when cAMP...
متن کاملAssociation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and protein phosphatase 2C.
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channels are rapidly deactivated by a membrane-bound phosphatase activity. The efficiency of this regulation suggests CFTR and protein phosphatases may be associated within a regulatory complex. In this paper we test that possibility using co-immunoprecipitation and cross-linking experiments. A monoclonal anti-CFTR antibody co-...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator
Description The cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene codes for the CFTR protein; a chloride channel protein that helps in the transportation of chloride ions and water molecules across the cell membranes of lungs, liver, pancreas, and skin. CFTR is a member of the ATP-binding cassette family of membrane transport proteins, but appears to be unique within this family by functionin...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl channel exhibits lyotropic anion selectivity. Anions that are more readily dehydrated than Cl exhibit permeability ratios (P(S)/P(Cl)) greater than unity and also bind more tightly in the channel. We compared the selectivity of CFTR to that of a synthetic anion-selective membrane [poly(vinyl chloride)-tridodecylmethylammonium chl...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Gene
The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene was identified in 1989 by geneticist Lap-Chee Tsui and his research team as the gene associated with cystic fibrosis [4] (CF). Tsui?s research pinpointed the gene, some mutations to which cause CF, and it revealed the underlying disease mechanism. The CFTR gene encodes a protein in cell membranes in epithelial tissues and affec...
