In vivo carbamylation and acetylation of water‐soluble human lens αB‐crystallin lysine 92
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Several post-translational modifications of lysine residues of lens proteins have been implicated in cataractogenesis. In the present study, the molecular weight of an alpha-crystallin isolated from the water-soluble portion of a cataractous human eye lens indicated that it was a modified alphaB-crystallin. Further analysis by mass spectrometry of tryptic digests of this modified protein showed that Lys 92 was...
