This non-amyloid self-assembly propensity allows generating innocuous IBs in which the recombinant protein of interest remains folded and functional, as demonstrated using two different fluorescent proteins. Conclusions Here, we present a proof of concept for the use of a natural coiled-coil domain as a versatile tool for the production of functional IBs in bacteria. This α-helix-based strategy excludes any potential toxicity drawback that might arise from the amyloid nature of β-sheet-based IBs and renders highly active and homogeneous submicrometric particles.Rationale Lumacaftor/ivacaftor (LUM/IVA) modestly improves lung function following 1 month of treatment but it is unknown if this translates into improvements in exercise endurance and exertional symptoms. Methods Adult CF participants completed a symptom-limited constant load cycling test with simultaneous assessments of dyspnea and leg discomfort ratings pre- and 1 month post-initiation of LUM/IVA. Results Endurance time, exertional dyspnea and leg discomfort ratings at submaximal exercise did not change significantly. There was a significant inverse correlation between changes in leg discomfort and endurance time (r = - 0.88; p = 0.009) following 1-month of LUM/IVA. Conclusions Overall, 1-month of LUM/IVA did not increase endurance time or modify exertional dyspnea or leg discomfort ratings. However, individuals who experienced a reduction in leg discomfort following LUM/IVA had an improvement in endurance time. Future studies with a larger sample size are needed to verify these findings and to assess the long-term effects of LUM/IVA on exercise outcomes.
