Mechanism of CFTR correction by type I folding correctors

Karol Fiedorczuk et al.

Summary: Small molecule chaperones have been widely used as therapeutics for diseases caused by protein misfolding. CFTR correctors are the most successful examples, as they can revert folding defects and are used to treat cystic fibrosis. Cryo-electron microscopy structures reveal that these correctors stabilize TMD1 of CFTR, preventing premature degradation and rescuing disease-causing mutations.

CFTR mRNAs with nonsense codons are degraded by the SMG6-mediated endonucleolytic decay pathway

Edward J. Sanderlin et al.

Summary: This study reveals that CFTR mRNAs with nonsense codons are predominantly degraded by the SMG6-mediated branch of the NMD pathway. This finding provides potential strategies for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

Targeting G542X CFTR nonsense alleles with ELX-02 restores CFTR function in human-derived intestinal organoids

Daniel K. Crawford et al.

Summary: ELX-02 promotes read-through of mRNA transcripts with nonsense mutations in CF patient-derived organoids, leading to increased CFTR activity and expression. These findings support the potential of ELX-02 as a read-through agent for CF caused by the G542X allele.

Discovery of CFTR modulators for the treatment of cystic fibrosis

Miqueias Lopes-Pacheco et al.

Summary: Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, with current therapies targeting only symptoms. Novel CFTR modulator drugs are expected to significantly modify the disease course for the majority of patients, with a focus on accelerating drug development and personalized treatment approaches.

Transcriptome-wide investigation of stop codon readthrough in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Kotchaphorn Mangkalaphiban et al.

Summary: Efficiency of translation termination near stop codons is influenced by mRNA features such as the identity of the stop codon, the penultimate codon, proximal nucleotides, and the length of the mRNA 3'-UTR. Differences in readthrough efficiency were observed between cells with wild-type and temperature-sensitive eRF1, with low readthrough genes having shorter 3'-UTRs in the latter. These findings highlight the importance of understanding mRNA features in regulating translation efficiency and have potential implications for therapeutics targeting premature termination of mRNA translation.

A small molecule that induces translational readthrough of CFTR nonsense mutations by eRF1 depletion

Jyoti Sharma et al.

Summary: In this study, compounds with readthrough activity were identified and shown to reduce premature termination associated with cystic fibrosis by lowering eRF1 levels. These compounds, including SRI-41315 and SRI-37240, have potential as promising treatment strategies for diseases caused by PTCs.
