A Proteomic Survey of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Surfaceome

Melissa Iazzi et al. Int J Mol Sci. .

Abstract

The aim of this review article is to collate recent contributions of proteomic studies to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) biology. We summarize advances from these studies and create an accessible resource for future CFTR proteomic efforts. We focus our attention on the CFTR interaction network at the cell surface, thus generating a CFTR 'surfaceome'. We review the main findings about CFTR interactions and highlight several functional categories amongst these that could lead to the discovery of potential biomarkers and drug targets for CF.

Keywords: BioID; CFTR interactions; CFTR modulators; PDZ domain; clathrin-mediated endocytosis; cystic fibrosis; interactome; peripheral quality control; surfaceome.

Summary of findings of different proteomic approaches used to investigate the CFTR interactome. Key details and findings for each of the five proteomic studies profiled in this review [11,25,27,28,29]. Arrows indicate an increase (↑) or decrease (↓) in WT or ∆F508-CFTR activity and/or trafficking. Check mark indicates the confirmed finding of each candidate interactor in the different studies.

WT-CFTR Surfaceome. Depiction of CFTR protein structure consisting of two nucleotide binding domains (NBD1/2), membrane spanning domains (MSD21/2), and regulatory domain (R) inserted in the PM. Interactors generated from the different proteomic approaches that are associated with the PM according to Gene Ontology (Supplementary Dataset S5), arranged according to their predicted (if known) site of binding to CFTR. Degree of overlap of interactors between different approaches is represented by colour: purple (6), red (5), orange (4), and yellow (3). Created using BioRender.com.

Depiction of steps involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis from clathrin-coated pit assembly to clathrin-coated vesicle scission, overlaid with candidate interactors generated from the different proteomic approaches. Locations are approximated based on where these proteins are predicted to be involved in clathrin-coated vesicle formation. Created using BioRender.com.
