Peripheral Protein Quality Control Removes Unfolded CFTR from the Plasma Membrane

TL;DR: Using functional small-interfering RNA screens in cells expressing the common cystic fibrosis mutation F508CFTR, the authors identified a pair of chaperones that promoted clearance of defective proteins from the plasma membrane that will also need to be overcome to increase the effectiveness of strategies to overcome protein misfolding disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of both NBD1 energetics and domain interface is required to restore ΔF508 CFTR folding and function

TL;DR: It is shown that ΔF508 destabilizes NBD1 both thermodynamically and kinetically, but correction of either defect alone is insufficient to restore Δf508 CFTR biogenesis, suggesting a synergistic role of NBD 1 energetics and topology in CFTR-coupled domain assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some gating potentiators, including VX-770, diminish ΔF508-CFTR functional expression

TL;DR: Combining the two types of drugs does not work effectively because potentiators make CFTR less stable, accelerating the removal of this channel from the cell membrane, suggesting the need for further optimization of potentiator to maximize the clinical benefit of corrector-potentiator combination therapy in CF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kv1.3 potassium channels are localized in the immunological synapse formed between cytotoxic and target cells

TL;DR: This paper investigated the redistribution of Kv1.3 channels, which are the dominant voltage-gated potassium channels, in the plasma membrane of allogen-activated human cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) on interacting with their specific target cells.
