Decreasing the homodimer interaction: a common mechanism shared by the ΔG91 mutation and deamidation in βA3-crystallin

PURPOSE: Cataracts can be broadly divided into two types: congenital cataracts and age-related cataracts. ΔG91 is a previously discovered congenital mutation in βA3-crystallin that impairs protein solubility. On the other hand, the deamidation of β-crystallin is a significant feature in aged and cat...
