3 When the effects of replacements in ECL2 (including the CF-phenotypic mutants E217G and Q220R) were evaluated in a library of wild-type and mutant TM3-ECL2-TM4 hairpin constructs, we found that SDS-PAGE gel migration rates differed over a range of nearly 40% +/- the wild-type position and that decreased migration rates correlate with increasing hairpin R-helical content as measured by circular dichroism spectra in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles.

57 Two CF-phenotypic missense mutations, E217G and Q220R, have been documented in the ECL2 region (contributed to the Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Database at www.genet.sickkids.on.ca/cftr/ by Zielenski et al. and Fe´rec). Login to comment
59 E217G and Q220R point mutants were constructed initially in the TM3/4 WT background, and their migration on SDS-PAGE was compared to WT following the gel shift assay developed in our laboratory (33). Login to comment
61 We noted that the E217G and Q220R substitutions in the WT background each showed slower migration relative to WT on SDS-PAGE (Figure 2), initially implying that replacement of these ECL2 positions has rendered the TM3/4 WT construct less compact (vide infra). Login to comment

83 The Q220E replacement migrates faster than TM3/4 WT, the Q220G and Q220N mutants migrate at equivalent rates to TM3/4 WT, while the Q220W, Q220K, and Q220R substitutions migrate more slowly. Login to comment
89 The Q220K and Q220W hairpins migrated identically to Q220R (p ) 0.259 and p ) 0.101, respectively) and to one another (p ) 0.341), making it unlikely that the positive charge on the Arg side chain per se reduced hairpin compactness. Login to comment
95 Thus, the mutants that migrated more slowly than TM3/4 WT on SDS-PAGE gels, among them Q220R and E217S, generally displayed increased helicity compared to TM3/4 WT (Table 1, Figure 4A). Login to comment
97 When the changes in TM3/4 WT hairpin migration were compared to changes in overall hairpin helicity, a strong correlation (R ) 0.79) was observed (Figure 5), leading us to propose that increases in non-native R-helix structure within ECL2 might Table 1: Migration Behavior on SDS-PAGE Gels of Single and Double Mutants in the Loop Region of CFTR TM3/4 Constructs % change in apparent MW on SDS-PAGE mutant vs TM3/4 WT in WT loop mutantsa vs TM3/4 V232D in V232D loop mutantsa Pb E217G 6.8 ( 0.7 E217S 11.1 ( 3.4 5.4 ( 1.4 0.056 Q220R 15.2 ( 1.1 Q220G 0.3 ( 0.4 Q220N 2.1 ( 1.3 0.5 ( 0.3 0.108 Q220K 14.1 ( 1.0 Q220W 13.1 ( 1.3 11.5 ( 0.9 0.157 Q220E -11.1 ( 1.1 -4.0 ( 0.3 <0.001 S222G 12.0 ( 2.1 1.1 ( 0.6 0.001 S222E -0.3 ( 2.4 1.3 ( 0.5 0.512 E217G/S222G 12.4 ( 1.9 E217S/S222E 26.1 ( 4.5 averagec 10.4 ( 7.3 4.0 ( 4.2 0.067 a Values are the percentage difference vs TM3/4 WT or TM3/4 V232D migration of SDS-PAGE gels.

146 While there may be a potential charge factor in the migration patterns for certain Q220 mutations (Q220E, Q220K, and Q220R; Figure 3), the migration rates of other ECL2 mutants cannot be rationalized as simple functions of adding or subtracting single charges. Login to comment
147 For example, S222E and WT migrate at approximately the same rate, but Q220E moves at -11% vs WT; both S222G and E217G/S222G are at +12%; Q220K, Q220R, and Q220W are each at +13-15%. Login to comment
163 While conformational changes induced by ECL2 mutants in the TM3/4 hairpin should be minimized by additional intrachain contacts imposed by the full-length CFTR molecule, our results suggest that the molecular mechanism of disease introduced by the CF-phenotypic ECL2 mutants E217G and Q220R may involve introduction of non-native R-helical loop structure that destabilizes the CFTR fold and leads to aberrant function in the resting state and/or during substrate transport.

145 When we examined the potential structural impact of CF-phenotypic mutations in extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) (including E217G and Q220R) in a library of wild type and mutant TM3-ECL2- TM4 hairpin constructs, we found that SDS-PAGE gel migration rates differed over a range of nearly 40% +/- the wild type position, and that decreased migration rates FIGURE 6: Disruption of helix-helix interactions by increased R-helical structure in the extracellular loop.
