Abstract excerpt
alpha-Crystallins are members of the family of small heat-shock proteins. The conformation and mode of action of these 'junior chaperones' are unknown. To investigate the structure and chaperone-like activity, four mutants of bovine alpha A-crystallin were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. In comparison with wild-type alpha A-crystallin, the D69S mutant, in which a highly conserved charged residue has been...
