Primary structure of beta s-crystallin from human lens.

S Zarina1, A Abbasi, Z H Zaidi.   

Abstract

The complete primary structure of beta s-crystallin from human lens is reported. The sequence was elucidated by automatic Edman degradation of tryptic and CNBr peptides. The blocked N-terminal dipeptide was identified by fast-atom-bombardment mass spectroscopy. The sequence comparison with other members of crystallin family reveals a closer relationship to human gamma-crystallin (53% identity) than with beta A3/A1 crystallin (37% identity). The structure, evolutionary characteristics and role of beta s-crystallin in lens are discussed.
