In 2005, kidney allocation rules in the United States were updated to enhance access to kidneys from young adult deceased donors (DDs) for pediatric recipients. We studied how this rule change affected transplant activity at our pediatric center. We

Amino acid residues 57-69 in alphaB-crystallin have been implicated as a target protein binding site. Moreover, a direct correlation between the extent of alpha-crystallin hydrophobicity and chaperone-like activity has been demonstrated. The purpose

The authors prepared water-soluble (WSF), urea-soluble (USF), alkali-soluble (ASF), sonicated (SF), sonicated insoluble (SIF) and membrane (MF) fractions of lens proteins from human senile and diabetic cataractous lenses and age-matched clear lenses.

We report studies on the role of protein-protein disulfides (PSSP) in the age-related loss of chaperone activity of alpha-crystallins. AlphaL-crystallin fraction was isolated from human lenses of different ages and the chaperone-like activity was det

In the previous report we demonstrated that gammaB-crystallin is glycated predominantly at the N-terminal alpha-amino group (Casey, E. B., Zhao, H. R., and Abraham, E. C. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 20781-20786). To investigate the possible role of al

The alpha-crystallins are the most abundant structural proteins of the lens and, because of their chaperone activity, contribute to the solubility of the other crystallins. With aging, the lens crystallins undergo a variety of modifications which cor

To determine the role of Gly-1 and Lys-2 of bovine gamma B-crystallin in glycation and cross-linking, Lys-2 was changed to Thr by site-directed mutagenesis. A polymerase chain reaction was used to perform site-directed mutagenesis on the third codon

We determined the site selectivity of glycation by glucose (glucosylation) in alpha A- and alpha B-crystallins using two independent approaches. HPLC purified 14C-glucose labeled chymotryptic peptides and affinity chromatography/HPLC purified fully g
