Abstract excerpt
Aromatic residues forming tyrosine corners within Greek key motifs are critical for the folding, stability, and order of βγ-crystallins and thus lens transparency. To delineate how a double amino acid substitution in an N-terminal-domain tyrosine corner of the CRYGS mutant p.F10_Y11delinsLN causes juvenile autosomal dominant cortical lamellar cataracts, human γS-crystallin c-DNA was cloned into pET-20b (+) and a...
