PURPOSE To direct the expression of gamma IFN to the eyes of transgenic mice as a means of investigating the possible role of this lymphokine in ocular pathogenesis. METHODS Transgenic mouse strains were generated by injection of a DNA fragment containing the murine alpha A-crystallin promoter fused to the coding sequence of murine gamma IFN gene. PCR and RT-PCR were used to screen for the pr...
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...
The α-crystallin family of small heat shock proteins possesses chaperone activity in response to stress and is involved in several neurological, muscular, and ophthalmic pathologies. This family includes the vertebrate lens protein α-crystallin, associated with cataract disease. In this study, by combining small-angle X-ray and light scattering techniques, the structure and shape of α-crystalli...
We report direct experimental evidence that human alphaB-crystallin, a member of the small heat shock protein family, actively participates in the refolding of citrate synthase (CS) in vitro. In the presence of 3.5 mM ATP, CS reactivation by alphaB-crystallin was enhanced approximately twofold. Similarly, 3.5 mM ATP enhanced the chaperone activity of alphaB-crystallin on the unfolding and aggre...
Purpose: Basal-like breast tumors are typically (ER/PR/HER2) triple-negative and are associated with a high incidence of brain metastases and poor clinical outcomes. The molecular chaperone aB-crystallin is predominantly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and contributes to an aggressive tumor phenotype in preclinical models. We investigated the potential role of aB-crystallin in...
OBJECTIVE To use dynamic light scattering to clinically assess early precataractous lens protein changes. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 380 eyes of 235 patients aged 7 to 86 years with Age-Related Eye Disease Study clinical nuclear lens opacity grades 0 to 3.8. A dynamic light-scattering device was used to assess alpha-crystallin, a molecular chaperone protein shown to bind ...
Embryonic chick cells of the presumptive lens ectoderm are induced to differentiate into a lens by the optic vesicle, an outgrowth from the developing brain. This lens induction involves formation of the lens placode by cell elongation between about 44 and 50 hr of development, followed by invagination of the placode between about 50 and 55 hr of development. The amount of delta-crystallin mess...
