Starting with a historical perspective on cystic fibrosis and its clinical features, the author departs into an in-depth description of the biology of the CFTR protein, ending with a discussion on the latest approaches aimed at developing corrective therapies for cystic fibrosis..First the basic aspects of cystic fibrosis as a disorder are addressed, focusing on genetics and mutation prevalence. Then the CFTR protein is discussed in detail: its structure and classification within the ABC transporter superfamily, its biogenesis with membrane insertion and chaperone assisted folding, its glycosylation and how it regulates the endoplasmatic reticulum quality control mechanisms that assess CFTR folding status. Extra attention is given to post-ER trafficking and regulation of membrane stability and anchoring, and to CFTR functions. This is linked to the molecular mechanisms through which different CFTR mutations cause cystic fibrosis. Finally, the different efforts aiming at rescuing the basic d | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | CFTR; cystic Fibrosis; protein folding; protein trafficking; membrane proteins; ion channels; ABC transpor | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-65494-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-65493-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-65494-2Series ISSN 2191-5407 Series E-ISSN 2191-5415 | issn_series | 2191-5407 | copyright | The Author(s) 2018 |
