Uniquely among the soluble lens‐specific proteins, γ‐crystallin is capable of binding the strongly chromophoric aldehyde retinal. a role for γ‐crystallin in protecting lens components from toxic aldehydes resulting from membrane oxidation is proposed and a molecular model of the probable interaction site is presented. The sequence of a tetrapeptide at this site is identical to that of the retinal binding site of bacteriorhodopsin. |
