| Abstract | We employed high-temperature classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the unfolding process of the wild-type (WT) and F508del-NBD1 domains of CFTR protein, with and without second-site mutations. To rationalize the in vitro behavior of F508del-NBD1, namely its lower folding yield and higher aggregation propensity, we focused our analysis of the MD data on the existence of intermediate states with aggregation potential and/or stabilized by a significant number of non-native interactions (i.e. misfolded states). We find that the deletion of phenylalanine 508 is able to forcefully reshape the conformational space of the NBD1 domain to the extent that it uniquely populates intermediate states whose structural traits provide important insights into the molecular events that underlie the impaired folding of F508del-NBD1. In particular, our simulations predict the formation of a misfolded intermediate whose population is highly enhanced by deletion of residue 508. The stabilization of this intermediate is a direct consequence of the enhanced non-native coupling between various key regions of the α-helical subdomain and ATP-binding subdomain; it is singularly characterized by a set of non-native interactions within the ATP-binding subdomain and between that domain and the α-helical subdomain region. The formation of this intermediate is not blocked by second-site suppressor mutations which indicates a limited role of the latter in correcting the rather complex folding process of the CFTR protein missing residue 508. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
