Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel. F508del, the most frequent CF-causing mutation, disrupts both the processing and function of CFTR. Recently, the crystal structure of the first nucleotide-binding domain of CFTR bearing F508del (F508del-NBD1) was elucidated. Although F508del-NBD1 shows only minor conformational changes relative to that of wild-type NBD1, additional mutations (F494N/Q637R or F429S/F494N/Q637R) were required for domain solubility and crystallization. Here we show that these solubilizing mutations in cis with F508del partially rescue the trafficking defect of full-length F508del-CFTR and attenuate its gating defect. We interpret these data to suggest that the solubilizing mutations utilized to facilitate F508del-NBD1 production also assist folding of full-length F508del-CFTR protein. Thus, the available crystal structure of F508del-NBD1 might correspond to a partially corrected conformation of this domain.
