Abstract excerpt
The superfamily of eye lens betagamma-crystallins is highly modularized, with Greek key motifs being used to form symmetric domains. Sequences of monomeric gamma-crystallins and oligomeric beta-crystallins fold into two domains that pair about a further conserved symmetric interface. Conservation of this assembly interface by domain swapping is the device adopted by family member betaB2-crystallin to form a...
