  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Transparency in the eye lens is maintained via specific, functional interactions among the structural βγ- and chaperone α-crystallins. Here, we report the structure and α-crystallin binding interface of the G18V variant of human γS-crystallin (γS-G18V), which is linked to hereditary childhood-onset cortical cataract. Comparison of the solution nuclear magnetic resonance structures of wild-type and G18V γS-crystallin, both presented here, reveal that the increased aggregation propensity of γS-G18V results from neither global misfolding nor the solvent exposure of a hydrophobic residue but instead involves backbone rearrangement within the N-terminal domain. αB-crystallin binds more strongly to the variant, via a well-defined interaction surface observed via chemical shift differences. In the context of the αB-crystallin structure and the finding that it forms heterogeneous multimers, our structural studies suggest a potential mechanism for cataract formation via the depletion of the finite αB-crystallin population of the lens.
