Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We have previously shown that residue 42-57 (TSLSPFYLRPPSFLRA; recognition sequence 1 or RS-1) and residue 60-71 (WFDTGLSEMRLE; recognition sequence 2 or RS-2) in alphaB-crystallin play a role in oligomerization and subunit interaction with alphaA-crystallin. When we created multiple mutations in alphaB-crystallin in RS-1 and RS-2 at S53(T), F54(G), L55(G), W60(R), and F61(N), we found that these...
