Describe the structure of CFTR. You must provide a written description for full credit. A picture
on its own is not enough. A picture with a description is acceptable. (5 points)
What is the function of CFTR? (details are important) (5 points)
Why is the mucus thicker than normal in CF patients? A good answer will include a description
of how osmosis is affected by CF. (5 points)
The most common mutation causing CF is a deletion of F508. What are the cellular
consequences of the F508 deletion? (5 points)
What are the organismal consequences of the F508 deletion? i.e. how does this mutation affect a
human being? (5 points)
How would you use gene therapy to treat CF? What problems might the plasma membrane cause
for successful gene therapy? (5 points)
Solution
Describe the structure of CFTR
CFTR protein :
CFTR :
Mutation
F508 is a class II CFTR mutation.[
The CFTR protein is to a great extent communicated in cells of the pancreas, intestinal and
respiratory epithelia, and every exocrine organ. At the point when appropriately collapsed, it is
moved to the cell layer, where it turns into a transmembrane protein in charge of opening
channels which discharge chloride particles out of cells; it likewise at the same time hinders the
take-up of sodium particles by another channel protein. Both of these capacities help to keep up a
particle angle that causes osmosis to coax water out of the cells.
The F508 transformation prompts to the misfolding of CFTR and its inevitable debasement in the
ER. In life forms with two supplements of the transformation, the protein is totally truant from
the cell film, and these basic particle transport capacities are not performed
