Patent number: 11560413Abstract: The present invention is directed to modified CFTR proteins or fragments thereof that contain single or multiple amino acid mutations to improve the structural stability of such CFTR proteins and/or fragments. Specifically, the modified CFTR proteins or fragment thereof differ from the wild-type human CFTR protein or fragment thereof by the presence of four or more mutations selected from V150D, M470V, S492P, F494N, S495P, A534P, I539T, G550E, G551D, R553Q, R555K, Q637R, S1255L, K1334G, S1359A, E1371Q, H1402S, Q1411D, and any combination thereof, such that the stability of the polypeptide is increased relative to that of the wild-type human CFTR polypeptide or fragment thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignees: UAB Research Foundation, Texas Tech University SystemInventors: John C. Kappes, Zhengrong Yang, Christie G. Brouillette, Ina L. Urbatsch
