    BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Cystic fibrosis results from mutations in the ABC transporter CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator), which functions as a cAMP-regulated anion channel. The most prevalent mutation in CFTR, the Phe(508) deletion, results in the generation of a trafficking and functionally deficient channel. The cellular machineries involved in modulating CFTR trafficking and function have not been fully characterized. In the present study, we identified a role for the COPI (coatomer protein I) cellular trafficking machinery in the development of the CFTR polypeptide into a functional chloride channel. To examine the role of COPI in CFTR biosynthesis, we employed the cell line ldlF, which harbours a temperature-sensitive mutation in epsilon-COP, a COPI subunit, to inhibit COPI function and then determined whether the CFTR polypeptide produced from the transfected gene developed into a cAMP-regulated chloride channel. RESULTS: When COPI was inactivated in the ldlF cells by an elevated temperature pulse (39 degrees C), the CFTR polypeptide was detected on the cell surface by immunofluorescence microscopy and cell-surface biotinylation. Therefore, CFTR proceeded upstream in the secretory pathway in the absence of COPI function, a result demonstrated previously by others. In contrast, electrophysiological measurements indicated an absence of cAMP-stimulated chloride efflux, suggesting that channel function was impaired. In comparison, expression of CFTR at the same elevated temperature (39 degrees C) in an epsilon-COP-rescued cell line [ldlF(ldlF)], which has an introduced wild-type epsilon-COP gene in addition to the mutant epsilon-COP gene, showed restoration of cAMP-stimulated channel activity, confirming the requirement of COPI for channel function. CONCLUSIONS: These results therefore suggest that generation of the folded-functional conformation of CFTR requires COPI.
