Abstract excerpt
Previously, using the peptide scan method, we have determined that residues 42-57 and 60-71 in alphaB-crystallin (TSLSPFYLRPPSFLRA, named recognition sequence 1 or RS-1, and WFDTGLSEMRLE, named recognition sequence 2 or RS-2) are involved in interaction with alphaA-crystallin. To understand the significance of the RS-2 region in interactions between alphaA- and alphaB-crystallins, W60R, F61N, and S66G mutants of...
