Journal ArticleDOI

Defective intracellular transport and processing of CFTR is the molecular basis of most cystic fibrosis

TL;DR: It is proposed that the mutant versions of CFTR are recognized as abnormal and remain incompletely processed in the endoplasmic reticulum where they are subsequently degraded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration That CFTR Is a Chloride Channel by Alteration of Its Anion Selectivity

TL;DR: Exression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator generates adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated chloride channels, indicating that CFTR is a cAMP-regulated chloride channel and that lysines 95 and 335 determine anion selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer transiently corrects the chloride transport defect in nasal epithelia of patients with cystic fibrosis

TL;DR: A E1-deficient adenovirus, encoding CFTR, was administered to a defined area of nasal airway epithelium of three individuals with CF, and there was a decrease in the elevated basal transepithelial voltage, and the normal response to a cAMP agonist was restored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator corrects defective chloride channel regulation in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Exposure of CFTR to cultured cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells corrected the Cl− channel defect, demonstrating a causal relationship between mutations in the CFTR gene and defective Cl− transport which is the hallmark of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of the R domain by cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulates the CFTR chloride channel.

TL;DR: The four phosphorylated events appear to be degenerate: no one site is essential for channel activity, and, at least in the case of serine 660, phosphorylation at one site alone is sufficient for regulation of Cl- channel activity.
