Abstract excerpt
Smaller oligomeric chaperones of α-crystallins (αA- and αB-) have received increasing attention due to their improved therapeutic potential in preventing protein aggregating diseases. Our previous study suggested that deleting 54-61 residues from the N-terminal domain (NTD) of αB-crystallin (αBΔ54-61) decreases the oligomer size and increases the chaperone function. Several studies have also suggested that NTD...
