Abstract

Alpha-crystallin is a member of the family of small heat-shock proteins (sHSP) and is composed of two subunits, alphaA-crystallin and alphaB-crystallin, which exhibit molecular chaperone-like properties. In a previous study, we found that residues 70-88 in alphaA-crystallin can function like a molecular chaperone by preventing the aggregation and precipitation of denaturing substrate proteins [Sharma, K. K., et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 3767-3771]. In this study, we show that the complementary sequence in alphaB-crystallin, residues 73-92 (DRFSVNLDVKHFSPEELKVK), is the functional chaperone site of alphaB-crystallin. Like the mini-alphaA-crystallin chaperone, the mini-alphaB-crystallin chaperone interacts with 1,1'-bi(4-anilino) naphthalene-5,5'-disulphonic acid (bis-ANS) and also possesses significant beta-sheet and random coil structure. Deletion of four residues (DRFS) from the N-terminus or deletion of C-terminus LKVK residues from the 73-92 peptide abolishes the chaperone-like activity against denaturing alcohol dehydrogenase. However, removal of DRFS or HFSPEELKVK is necessary to completely abolish the antiaggregation property of the peptide in insulin reduction assay. Substitution of Asp at a site corresponding to D8...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
