A561E, a novel cystic fibrosis (CF) associated mutation in the first nucleotide binding domain of CFTR, is the second most common CF mutation in Portugal. Properties of the A561E-CFTR protein were studied by immunoblotting, pulse-chase, immunocytochemistry, and MQAE halide-efflux assay in stably transfected BHK cells. Altogether, results presented here suggest that A561E causes protein mislocalization in the endoplasmic reticulum where the mutant protein must be trapped by the quality control mechanism. We conclude that A561E originates a protein trafficking defect, thus belonging to class II of CFTR mutations. As it is the case for F508del-CFTR (the most common CF mutant), low temperature treatment partially rescues a functional A561E-CFTR channel, suggesting that substitution of glutamic acid for alanine at position 561 does not completely abolish CFTR function. Pharmacological strategies previously reported for treatment of CF patients with the F508del mutation could thus be also effective in CF patients bearing the A561E mutation.
