Cystic FibrosisTransmembrane Conductance Regulator and Filamin A Background for “Biochemical Basis of the Interaction between Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator and Immunoglobulin-like Repeats of Filamin” Smith et al. JBC 285 (2010): 17166-17176. Web. Presented by Amanda Maez March 9, 2011
Cystic Fibrosis • Most common, lethal genetic disorder in Caucasians characterized by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) of epithelial cells • Characterized by high sweat chloride concentration and dehydrated viscous secretions • Most common mutation is the F508 • ~30,000 individuals in North America are affected (70% carry one copy of F508)
Presentation Overview • CFTR • Location • ABC transporter- general structure • Structure and Function • Mutations • Filamin A • Actin binding protein (ABP) • Structure • Basis for Research of Smith et al. • Mutants are rapidly degraded in ER • S13F mutation disrupts CFTR-filamin interaction
CFTR is an ABC Transporter • ATP binding cassette transporter • 2 Membrane spanning domains (MSD1 and MSD2) • 2 Nucleotide binding domains (NBD1 and NBD2) • Motor • Humans have at least 48 (3-5% of bacterial genome) K P Locher et al. Science 2002;296:1091-1098
CFTR Structure • 2 MSDs • 6 membrane-spanning -helices in each • 2 NBDs • Each possess an ATP binding pocket • ABP1 formed by Walker A and B motifs of NBD1, ABP2 by Walker A and B motifs of NBD2 • Unique regulatory (R) region • Located between the NH2 terminal NBD and the second MSD

CFTR Function • Conducts Cl¯ across membrane when both NBDs have bound ATP and R domain is phosphorylated by protein kinase A • Closes when ATP is hydrolyzed on one of the NBDs and R domain is no longer phosphorylated. Lehninger. Principles of Biochemistry. 5th Edition. W.H. Freeman and Company, 2008. 401. Print.
Mutations in CFTR • Most common is the F508, which is located in NBD1 • Cause misfolding of the protein which lead to a defective channel due to inability to hydrolyze ATP • Decrease in Cl¯ export is accompanied with a decrease in export of water and leads to thick, sticky mucus which is a haven for bacteria that are the ultimate cause of mortality • These mutated CFTRs are rapidly transported to and degraded in the ER • Those that are not degraded are usually subject to inefficient trafficking to the apical plasma membrane
Filamin A Structure • High molecular weight • Long rod-like domain of 24 repeated anti-parallel -sheets (resembling immunoglobulin domain) • Two flexible loops (30 aa) that form hinge structures
Fln A Structure • Crystal Structure of C2 Fragment of Steptococcal protein G in complex with FC domain of Human IgG Smith et al. JBC 285 (2010), Supplemental Figures. Sauer-Eriksson et al. Structure 3 (1995). Web. • Details of FlnA-Ig21:CFTR4-22 crystal structure
Filamin A Function • Actin Binding Protein (ABP) • F-actin crosslinker--scaffolding protein • Anchors a variety of transmembrane proteins to the actin cytoskeleton

Basis for Research of Smith et al. • Mutated CFTRs are rapidly transported to and degraded in the ER • Those that are not degraded maintain partial function, but are usually subject to inefficient trafficking to the apical plasma membrane • Filamin A anchors CFTR to the actin skeleton • Understand the interaction between Filamin A and CFTR using a mutation (S13F) that disrupts this binding
