We present the backbone and sidechain NMR assignments and a structural analysis of the 178-residue wild-type γS-crystallin and the cataract-related point mutant, γS-G18V. γS-crystallin is a structural component of the eye lens, which maintains its solubility and stability over many years. NMR assignments and continued structural investigations of γS-crystallin and aggregation-prone variants will advance understanding of cataract formation.
我们展示了178个残基的野生型γS-晶状体蛋白和与白内障相关的点突变体γS-G18V的主链和侧链核磁共振(NMR)归属以及结构分析。γS-晶状体蛋白是眼晶状体的一种结构成分,多年来维持其溶解性和稳定性。对γS-晶状体蛋白及其易于聚集的变体进行NMR归属和持续的结构研究将推动对白内障形成的理解。
