description: CFTR is a membrane anion channel of the ATP-binding cassette protein family.
  Phosphorylation and ATP-dependent conformational cycling regulate its pore, which
  conducts chloride and bicarbonate down their electrochemical gradients. Its ATPase
  activity controls gating rather than pumping anions against a gradient. At epithelial
  apical membranes, CFTR supports salt, fluid and bicarbonate transport; tissue-specific
  consequences include airway surface hydration, pancreatic and intestinal secretion, and
  sweat-duct salt handling. Cytosolic terminal and regulatory regions engage trafficking
  adaptors, chaperones and regulatory proteins. The channel cycles through biosynthetic
  and endosomal compartments, and misfolded forms can be retained in the endoplasmic
  reticulum and eliminated through quality-control pathways. Pathogenic variants cause
  cystic fibrosis; the common F508del variant disrupts folding and cell-surface delivery,
  reducing epithelial anion secretion.

    summary: ATP-gated chloride conduction is the conserved core activity.
    action: ACCEPT
    reason: The PAINT assertion agrees with purified CFTR ATPase/gating measurements and
      human epithelial chloride transport. The historical ancestral placement was not
      reconstructed; target evidence independently supports the activity without
      criticizing donor count or target self-evidence.

    reason: Forskolin raises cAMP in the source assay and activates
      phosphorylation-dependent CFTR transport. This is a useful experimental response
      annotation but not a separate defining molecular activity of the channel.

    reason: The source supports CFTR association with the deubiquitinating enzyme in the

      binding does not mean CFTR performs the partner enzyme reaction.

  title: CFTR source projection, literal interaction evidence, ontology and primary-access
    audit
  findings:
  - statement: This review adjudicates the 203 historical machine assertions from the
      preserved 448-row GOA snapshot. A separate genuine normal fetch produced 539
      deduplicated source objects from 540 raw rows; that expanded projection is archived
      for a later source-migration review and is not silently substituted here. No claim
      of reviewing all current GOA assertions is made.
  reference_review:
    relevance: HIGH
    review_notes: Literal GOA, interaction and worksheet fields, official ontology/domain
      records and source-access locators support inspection of the underlying sources. The
      artifact also contains explicitly authored interpretations and historical snapshots;
      those are not independent experimental evidence or primary quotations.

    It is listed separately because nucleotide hydrolysis is a measured chemical reaction,
    whereas the channel terms describe ion permeation; ATP dependence alone would not
    establish this catalytic activity.

suggested_questions:
- question: Which defined CFTR molecular species underlies the rat Sertoli nuclear signal,
    and is an equivalent processed product present in human Sertoli nuclei?
- question: Do CFTR-dependent cholesterol changes reflect direct molecular participation
    in lipid handling or secondary homeostatic responses to altered anion transport and
    trafficking?
- question: Which proximity-labeled or variant-specific interactome partners form
    reproducible physical contacts with sequence-defined CFTR in the corresponding
    physiological compartment?
- question: What performed CFTR molecular step accounts for sodium-transport normalization
    in rescued human airway epithelia, and how does it depend on extracellular fluid
    conditions and ENaC processing?
suggested_experiments:
