Synthesis of gamma crystallin by a cloned cell line from Nakano mouse lens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A cloned cell line was derived from a culture of Nakano mouse lens epithelial cells. The cloned cells grew vigorously and produced large numbers of lentoid bodies. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and non-SDS slab-gel electrophoresis of the soluble proteins from the cultured cell revealed protein bands identical in pattern to those of purified gamma crystallin. Antibody to mouse gamma crystallin reacted to the soluble protein fraction of the cultured cells, indicating the synthesis in culture of gamma crystallin by this cloned cell line.

Homologous and heterologous enhancers modulate spatial expression but not cell-type specificity of the murine gamma F-crystallin promoter.
Previous studies have shown that mouse gamma F-crystallin sequences -759 to +45, which include the core promoter and two upstream enhancer elements, contain sufficient information for directing gene expression to terminally differentiated fiber cells of the ocular lens. To investigate the role that proximal sequences of the mouse gamma F-crystallin promoter play in the developmental regulation ...
متن کاملA comprehensive analysis of the expression of crystallins in mouse retina.
PURPOSE Crystallins are expressed at high levels in lens fiber cells. Recent studies have revealed that several members of the alpha, beta, and gamma-crystallin family are also distributed in many non-lens tissues, though at lower levels. We observed that the use of retinal RNA as target for both custom I-Gene microarrays and Affymetrix GeneChips revealed significant expression of many crystall...
متن کاملCrystallin mRNA concentrations and distribution in lens of normal and galactosemic rats. Implications in development of sugar cataracts.
It is well established that high concentrations of sugar in the lens of the eye eventually lead to fiber cell destruction and cataracts. In these studies the decrease in crystallin mRNAs was quantified as a result of influx of high concentrations of galactose into the lens of rats. The alpha A-, alpha B1-, and gamma-crystallin mRNA concentrations were assessed in normal lens and in lens undergo...
متن کاملCloning and Mapping the Mouse Crygs Gene and Non-lens Expression of γS-Crystallin
and patterns of expression, γ-crystallins have generally appeared to be the most lens-specific of the crystallins. Here we examine the mouse γS-crystallin (γS) gene and its expression. Methods: The cDNA and gene for mouse γS were cloned and sequenced. The Crygs gene was mapped using genetic crosses. Expression patterns in mouse and cow were examined by northern blot, PCR and western blot using ...
متن کاملComparison of ultraviolet induced photo-kinetics for lens-derived and recombinant beta-crystallins.
PURPOSE The photobiology of purified recombinant crystallins has not been studied. Here we examine photo-induced aggregation of purified recombinant mouse betaA3-crystallin (rbetaA3) and compare it with that of betaL-crystallins isolated from bovine lenses. METHODS rbetaA3-Crystallin was expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells and purified by ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography...
