Interaction of C-terminal truncated human alphaA-crystallins with target proteins.

Significant portion of alphaA-crystallin in human lenses exists as C-terminal residues cleaved at residues 172, 168, and 162. Chaperone activity, determined with alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and betaL-crystallin as target proteins, was increased in alphaA(1-172) and decreased in alphaA(1-168) and alp...
