The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a 1480 amino acid membrane bound glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 170,000. It is a member of the ATP binding cassette (ABC)superfamily of proteins. The protein is comprised of two, six span membrane bound regions each connected to a nuclear binding factor which binds ATP. Between these two units is an R-domain which is comprised of many charged amino acids. The R-domain is a unique feature of CFTR within the ABC superfamily.

Put your mouse over the domain region in the following graph to view the summary of that domain, click to view the details.



Many of the mutations identified in CF occur in the first nuclear binding domain (NBF1), while very few occur in NBF2. This is a common feature of the ABC superfamily and indicates a separate role for the two binding domains. The most common mutation in CF DF508 occurs in NBF1. This results in a 3 bp deletion and the loss of a phenylalanine residue. The deletion causes a protein trafficking defect. If this defect is overcome then the protein can form a functional channel. This can be brought about by overexpression of CFTR or by culturing cells at > 30 oC. The NBFs contain a number of highly conserved motifs predicted to bind and hydrolyse ATP. Site directed mutagenesis at these motifs have indicated that ATP binds to both NBFs to control the gating of the channel.

The mutations happenning in NBD1 domain:
