Abstract excerpt
The functional importance of the beta8 sequence ((131)LTITSSLS(138)), which is on the surface of the alpha crystallin core domain of human alphaB crystallin, was evaluated using site-directed mutagenesis. Ultraviolet circular dichroism determined that mutating the surface-exposed, nonconserved residues, Leu-131, Thr-132, Thr-134, Ser-135, Ser-136, and Ser-138 individually or in combination (alphaAbeta8 and...
