Secondary Information

Protein Function structural component of the adult human lens. play an important role in maintaining lens transparency.
Biochemical Properties has an additional alpha helix,which is located between the third and fourth beta sheets.Contain 4 stranded Greek Key beta sheet peptide/crystallin fold which forms Ca2+ binding site and gives rise to the first calcium ligate at the residue next to the conserved aromatic amino acid in the sequence Y/E/WXXXXXXG,located at the end of the first beta strand.Glycine is necessary to form a dihedral angle which is associated with calcium binding and storage ability.contains a single lysine residue at the second position (K2).

Significance of PTMs Lys 2-(K2) and glycine 1 (G1) is acetylated at an early age and that the amount of K2-acetylated γD-crystallin increased with age. The chaperone ability of α-crystallin for acetylated γD-crystallin was lower than that for the nonacetylated protein.The acetylated protein exhibited higher surface hydrophobicity, was unstable against thermal and chemical denaturation, and exhibited a higher propensity to aggregate at 80 °C in comparison to the nonacetylated protein.Acetylation of K2 and G1 reduced the structural stability of the protein and brought the distal cysteine residues (C18 and C78) into close proximity.
