GAMMA B CRYSTALLIN C-TERMINAL DOMAIN
Overview
We use protein engineering and crystallography to simulate aspects of the, early evolution of beta gamma-crystallins by observing how a single domain, oligomerizes in response to changes in a sequence extension. The crystal, structure of the C-terminal domain of gamma beta-crystallin with its, four-residue C-terminal extension shows that the domain does not form a, symmetric homodimer analogous to the two-domain pairing in beta, gamma-crystallins. Instead the C-terminal extension now forms heterologous, interactions with other domains leading to the solvent exposure of the, natural hydrophobic interface with a consequent loss in protein, solubility. However, this domain truncated by just the C-terminal tyrosine, forms a symmetric homodimer of domains in the crystal lattice.
