General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily, a class of membrane proteins that couple the hydrolysis ofATPwith the transport of molecules across membranes. The enzyme belongs to the ABC-C subfamily (ABC-C7) | Homo sapiens |
malfunction | dysfunctional enzyme causes the common lethal genetic disease cystic fibrosis | Homo sapiens |
additional information | enzyme structure homology modelling using the crystal structure of four homologous transporters, modelling of open and closed conformations of the enzyme, structural analysis of the transmembrane cavity, detailed overview. Transitions between open and closed states of enzyme CFTR are regulated by ATP binding and hydrolysis on the cytosolic nucleotide binding domains, which are coupled with the transmembrane domains forming the pathway for anion permeation. An important role is played by residue Phe337 as a filter/gating residue | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme controls Cl- permeation across epithelia as an ABC transporter controling the flow of anions through the apical membrane of epithelia. The ABC protein function as an ion channel rather than as an active transporter | Homo sapiens |
