For example, Hoelen (43), again using a limited proteolysis approach to assess domain stability, showed that an I539T second-site suppressor mutation, in combination with ƊF508 CFTR, restored NBD1 stability to the wt domain pattern, suggesting that correcting NBD1 stability will be critical for the development of a therapeutic for CF.

Recent experiments have shown that certain amino acid substitutions, namely R1070W in combination with ƊF508 CFTR, can rescue ƊF508 CFTR trafficking, again pointing to the importance of domain-domain interactions in the mis-processing of ƊF508 (62). Login to comment
