ABSTRACT
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations that compromise the expression and/or function of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel. Most people with CF harbor a common misfolded variant (ΔF508) that can be partially rescued by therapeutic "correctors" that restore its expression. Nevertheless, many other CF variants are insensitive to correctors. Using deep mutational scanning, we quantitatively compare the effects of two correctors on the plasma membrane expression of 129 CF variants. Though structural calculations suggest corrector binding provides similar stabilization to most variants, it's those with intermediate expression and mutations near corrector binding pockets that exhibit the greatest response. Deviations in sensitivity appear to depend on the degree of variant destabilization and the timing of misassembly. Combining correctors appears to rescue more variants by doubling the binding energy and stabilizing distinct cotranslational folding transitions. These results provide an overview of rare CF variant expression and establish new tools for precision pharmacology.
