Abstract
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 glycated peptides were identified by FAB-MS. Lys 11 and 78 of alpha A-crystallin and Lys 90 and/or 92 of alpha B-crystallin were the fast reacting sites of glucosylation.Entities:
