Structure/function studies of dogfish α-crystallin, comparison with bovine α-crystallin
PURPOSE alpha-Crystallin is the major protein of the mammalian lens where it contributes to the refractive properties needed for vision and possibly to the stability of the tissue. The aim of this study was to determine whether the properties of alpha-crystallin have changed during the course of evolution. METHODS Dogfish alpha-crystallin, which appeared over 420 million years ago, has been c...
متن کاملOverexpression of human γC-crystallin 5 bp duplication disrupts lens morphology in transgenic mice.
PURPOSE To delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying autosomal dominant congenital cataracts caused by a 5 bp duplication in human CRYGC. METHODS c.119_123dup (CRYGC5bpd) and wild-type human γC-crystallin (CRYGC) were expressed in transgenic mouse lenses by the chicken βB1-crystallin promoter. Lenses were characterized histologically, by real-time PCR, SDS-PAGE, and Western blot. pET and ...
متن کاملPreferential interaction of alpha crystallin with denatured forms of gamma crystallin.
PURPOSE To characterize the possible interaction of alpha crystallin with partially denatured forms of gamma crystallin. METHODS Gamma crystallin was denatured in the presence of guanidine hydrochloride, then dialyzed in the presence or absence of alpha crystallin. The high-molecular-weight complex formed in the presence of alpha was characterized by gel filtration chromatography, electron mi...
متن کاملRenal tumor with alpha B crystallin expression.
In human, proximal convoluted tubules and thin limbs of Henle show expression of αB crystallin. Renal cell carcinoma also showed expression of αB crystallin in previous reports. We aimed to study the association between αB crystallin expression and renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Furthermore, we also investigated αB crystallin expression depending on the subtype of renal cell car...
متن کاملIn vivo substrates of the lens molecular chaperones αA-crystallin and αB-crystallin
In vivo substrates of the lens molecular chaperones αA-crystallin and αB-crystallin. Abstract aA-crystallin and aB-crystallin are members of the small heat shock protein family and function as molecular chaperones and major lens structural proteins. Although numerous studies have examined their chaperone-like activities in vitro, little is known about the proteins they protect in vivo. To eluci...
