Post-translationally modified human lens crystallin fragments show aggregation in vitro
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017 Background: Crystallin fragments are known to aggregate and cross-link that lead to cataract development. This study has been focused on determination of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of human lens crystallin fragments, and their aggregation ...

Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.In the giant Pleurodeles waltl genome, introns serve as “structural buffers,” absorbing transposable elements (TEs) to protect coding exons. While this enables “gene body inflation,” persistent TE accumulation eventually leads to transcriptional silencing and functional collapse, or “burst,” of the gene architecture.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.ABSTRACT Early developmental processes significantly influence growth and maturation patterns, aquaculture traits that are critical for physiological adaptation and productivity. The vestigial‐like family member 3 gene (vgll3) plays a key role in growth and maturation across diverse taxa, including mammals and teleost fishes.

Protein refractive index increment is determined by conformation as well as composition. [PDF]
, 2018 The refractive index gradient of the eye lens is controlled by the concentration and distribution of its component crystallin proteins, which are highly enriched in polarizable amino acids.

Elucidating the mechanism of anti-apoptotic activity of α-crystallin and its therapeutic potential [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistryα- Crystallins are the structural proteins of the eye lens which possess anti-apoptotic activity. Both αA- and αB- crystallins are distinct antiapoptotic regulators which can interact with Bax and Bcl-XS, proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family in order

Influence of Thermal Perturbation of the Oligomeric Size of -Crystallin on its Chaperone Function – A Biophysical Study [PDF]
, 2010 -Crystallin is the major protein component of the vertebrate eye lens and is composed of two subunits A- and B-, 20 kDa each having 57% sequence homology between them. Both subunits associate to form large oligomer of 800 kDa average molecular weight. It
