G551D-CFTR current exhibits decreased rate of deactivation upon removal of ATP and PKA. Representative current traces for G551D- (A) and G551A-CFTR (B) activated with 1 mM MgATP + 127.6 U/ml PKA then deactivated by washout of ATP and PKA with intracellular solution (control). A voltage ramp protocol described in the Methods section was applied every 5 s. Summary data for deactivation are shown in (C,D) and follow the equation (I/Imax = I (remaining current)/I (maximum current in ATP+PKA)). ***, P < 0.001 compared with G551A. n = 5 for both G551A and G551D. (E) VX-770 significantly slowed the rate of deactivation of G551D-CFTR upon removal of ATP + PKA + VX-770. Representative current traces for G551D-CFTR activated with 1 mM MgATP + 127.6 U/ml PKA + 0.2 µM VX-770 for about 20 minutes then deactivated by washout with intracellular solution (control) for >25 minutes followed with 10 µM CFTRinh172 (▼). Summary data for deactivation are shown in (F,G). *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 compared with G551D in the absence of VX-770. n = 5. (H) Representative single channel current traces of WT- and G551D-CFTR recorded in symmetrical 150 mM Cl solution. Data for G551D-CFTR is from the same patch for pre- and post-VX-770. Summary data for mean burst durations are shown in (I). Mean burst duration for G551D-CFTR was significantly shorter than for WT-CFTR. Mean burst duration for G551D-CFTR in the presence of VX-770 was significantly longer than for ATP + PKA alone. n = 5 for G551D-CFTR. WT-CFTR data cited from previous publication14. **P < 0.01 compared with WT-CFTR. ***P < 0.001 compared with G551D-CFTR in pre-VX-770 condition.
