The regulatory domain of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) regulates channel activity when several serines are phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. To further define the functional role of individual phosphoserines, we studied CFTR containing previously studied and new serine to alanine mutations. We expressed these constructs in Fischer rat thyroid epithelia and measured transepithelial Cl- current. Mutation of four in vivo phosphorylation sites, Ser660, Ser737, Ser795, and Ser813 (S-Quad-A), substantially decreased cAMP-stimulated current, suggesting that these four sites account for most of the phosphorylation-dependent response. Mutation of either Ser660 or Ser813 alone significantly decreased current, indicating that these residues play a key role in phosphorylation-dependent stimulation. However, neither Ser660 nor Ser813 alone increased current to wild-type levels; both residues were required. Changing Ser737 to alanine increased current above wild-type levels, suggesting that phosphorylation of Ser737 may inhibit current in wild-type CFTR. These data help define the functional role of regulatory domain phosphoserines and suggest interactions between individual phosphoserines.
