Abstract:

β/γ-Crystallins, the main structural protein in human lenses, have highly stable structure for keeping the lens transparent. Their mutations have been linked to cataracts. In this study, we identified 10 new mutations of β/γ-crystallins in lens proteomic dataset of cataract patients using bioinformatics tools. Of these, two double mutants, S175G/H181Q of βΒ2-crystallin and P24S/S31G of γD-crystallin, were found mutations occurred in the largest loop linking the distant β-sheets in the Greek key motif. We selected these double mutants for identifying the properties of these mutations, employing

Abstract:

The anterior lens epithelium has the ability to differentiate into lens fibres throughout its life. The present study aims to identify and functionally characterize the adult stem cells in the human lens epithelium. Whole mounts of lens epithelium from donor eyes (normal/cataract) were immunostained for SOX2, gap junction protein alpha 1 (GJA1), PAX6, α, β and γ-crystallins, followed by a confocal analysis. The functional property of adult stem cells was analysed by their sphere forming ability using cultured lens epithelial cells from different zones. Based on marker expression, the lens epit

Abstract:

Cataract disease is strongly associated with progressively accumulating oxidative damage to the extremely long-lived crystallin proteins of the lens. Cysteine oxidation affects crystallin folding, interactions, and light-scattering aggregation especially strongly due to the formation of disulfide bridges. Minimizing crystallin aggregation is crucial for lifelong lens transparency, so one might expect the ubiquitous lens crystallin superfamilies (α and βγ) to contain little cysteine. Yet, the Cys content of γ-crystallins is well above the average for human proteins. We review literature relevan

βA3/A1-crystallin is a lens structural protein that plays an important role in maintaining lens transparency via interactions with other crystallins. While the function of βA3/A1-crystallin in the retina is well studied, its functions in the lens, other than as a structural protein, remain unclear. In the current study, we generated the lens-specific βA3/A1-crystallin conditional knockout mouse (named βA3/A1ckO) and explored phenotypic changes and the function of the crystallin in the lens. The βA3/A1ckO mice showed congenital cataract at birth and exhibited truncation of lens proteins. Severa

Highly concentrated lens proteins, mostly β- and γ-crystallin, are responsible for maintaining the structure and refractivity of the eye lens. However, with aging and cataract formation, β- and γ-crystallin are associated with the lens membrane or other lens proteins forming high-molecular-weight proteins, which further associate with the lens membrane, leading to light scattering and cataract development. The mechanism by which β- and γ-crystallin are associated with the lens membrane is unknown. This work aims to study the interaction of β- and γ-crystallin with the phospholipid membrane wit

The high solubility and lifelong stability of crystallins are crucial to the maintenance of lens transparency and optical properties. Numerous crystallin mutations have been linked to congenital cataract, which is one of the leading causes of newborn blindness. Besides cataract, several crystallin mutations have also been linked to syndromes such as congenital microcornea-cataract syndrome (CMCC). However, the molecular mechanism of CMCC caused by crystallin mutations remains elusive. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of CMCC caused by the X253R mutation in βB1-crystallin.

Site-specific modifications of aspartate residues spontaneously occur in crystallin, the major protein in the lens. One of the primary modification sites is Asp151 in αA-crystallin.

These changes are considered significant factors in the formation of senile cataracts. However, the mechanisms driving spontaneous isomerization and racemization have not been experimentally demo

Abstract:

The small heat-shock protein α-crystallin isolated from the eye lens exists as a large (700 kDa) heteropolymer composed of two subunits, αA and αB, of 20 kDa each. Although trace amounts of αA-crystallin are found in other tissues, non-lenticular distribution of α-crystallin is dominated by the αB homopolymer. In most vertebrate lens, the molar ratio of αA to αB is generally 3:1. However, the importance of this ratio in the eye lens is not known. In the present study, we have investigated the physiological significance of the 3:1 ratio by determining the secondary/tertiary structure, hydrophob

Abstract:

Life-saving renal replacement therapy by peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited in use and duration by progressive impairment of peritoneal membrane integrity and homeostasis. Preservation of peritoneal membrane integrity during chronic PD remains an urgent but long unmet medical need. PD therapy failure results from peritoneal fibrosis and angiogenesis caused by hypertonic PD fluid (PDF)–induced mesothelial cytotoxicity. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved are incompletely understood, limiting identification of therapeutic targets. We report that addition of lithium chloride (LiC

Abstract:

The purposes of this study were to determine whether, immediately after lengthening contractions, 1) levels of specific force-transmitting cytoskeletal elements are reduced in skeletal muscle cells and 2) cytosolic small heat shock proteins (HSPs) translocate to structures prone to disruption. Western blot analysis demonstrated decreased concentrations of z-disk proteins α-actinin and plectin and membrane scaffolding proteins dystrophin and β-spectrin in muscle exposed to lengthening contractions compared with contralateral control muscle. Lengthening contractions also resulted in immediate tr

Abstract:

An efficient synthesis of the O-linked glycosylamino acid Fmoc–l-Ser((Ac)3–β-d-GlcNAc)-OH building block is described. The utility of the method was demonstrated with direct solid-phase O-glycosylation of the hydroxyl group on the amino acid (Ser) side chain of a human α-A crystallin-derived peptide (AIPVSREEK) in nearly quantitative glycosylation yield.
