Role of alphaBI5 and alphaBT162 residues in subunit interaction during oligomerization of alphaB-crystallin.

Molecular vision - 1 Jan 2008

Murugesan Raju, Santhoshkumar Puttur, Sharma K Krishna

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To determine whether the residues in the NH(2)- and COOH-terminal extensions interact with one another during oligomerization of alphaB-crystallin. METHODS: Site-directed mutagenesis was used to mutate alphaBI5 and alphaBT162 residues to Cys. The recombinant I5C and T162C proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli cells and purified using chromatographic techniques. These proteins were analyzed by...
