It was elucidated that alpha-crystallins are present mainly in a beta-sheet conformation but they also contain a considerable quantity of alpha-helix and a slight quantity of unordered and beta-chain forms. In beta H-crystallins, alpha-helix and, in a lesser percentage, beta-structures predominante. beta-sheet, alpha-helix and a low content of beta-chain forms are present in beta L-crystallins. In gamma-crystallins all forms secondary structure have been found, with predominance of beta-sheet and alpha-helix forms.

This process apparently activated at least two kinase-like activities, e.g. General kinase C and tyrosine kinase. The molecular weight of the phosphorylated protein was found to be 26kDa. Immunological studies indicated that the 26kDa component is part of the so-called \"MIP\" intrinsic membrane protein.

Therefore, a distribution of correlation times of water particles has to be assumed by a certain distribution of the water protein binding energy. As a consequence, from the temperature dependence of T1 relaxation time, the activation energy of water molecules in the lens cannot be evaluated directly without the knowledge of the distribution width. This problem can be solved by T2 measurements in lenses. From the slope of T2 as a function of temperature, mean activation energy can be calculated independently on the distribution width. Measurements were performed on lenses originating from 5-7 years old cows, 2-year old bull-calfs and a 12-year old bull in the temperature range -30 to +105 degrees C. It could be demonstrated that about 80% of water behaves as liquid-like water with an activation energy 14 +/- 4 kJ/mol corresponding to the value of free water. The remaining water (about 20%) is bound to the protein with an activation energy of 20 +/- 5 kJ/mol. At 42 degrees C the protein denaturation process starts in the eye lens and will be completed by 70 degrees C, yielding a protein bound-water complex.</p>","PeriodicalId":17964,"journal":{"name":"Lens and eye toxicity research","volume":"8 2-3","pages":"155-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12820508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Structure/function relationship between optics and biochemistry of the lens.","authors":"B K Pierscionek,&nbsp;R C Augusteyn","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The lens is an important element in the optical system of the eye. It has a gradient of refractive index for purposes of aberration control and in order to provide the ocular system with sufficient power. The lens also contains unique structural proteins. Although much work has been done to characterize the lens proteins, a structure/function relationship between these entities and the optics of the normal lens had not been previously considered. To investigate if such a relationship exists, biochemical and optical investigations were carried out under the common theme of development and aging. Investigations of distribution patterns of the three protein classes and measurements of the refractive index gradient were made on bovine and human lenses over wide age ranges. The results of these studies were compared. Although there was no direct evidence of a link between a single protein class and the index gradient, there are hints from interspecies comparison, that the level of LMW proteins may determine the magnitude of the refractive index. It is also possible that the insoluble fraction, which bears the greatest relationship in trend to the refractive index gradient, may represent proteins (largely pounds-crystallins) which have been structurally altered in situ in order for the lens to maintain viable optical function under the conditions of continual growth and aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":17964,"journal":{"name":"Lens and eye toxicity research","volume":"8 2-3","pages":"229-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13070534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cataract formation, light scattering and fluorescence.","authors":"S Zigman,&nbsp;G Sutliff,&nbsp;M Rounds","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This preliminary report has two parts. The first is based upon data obtained from a group of cataract patients in southern Florida (USA) with the object of relating the types of cataracts removed to their personal background and their protein biochemistry. Intra-capsular cataract surgery patients at the Venice Eye Clinic (Florida) were interviewed, and their extracted lenses were classified. The parameters were: age, place of residency, occupation, medical and family history and indoor/outdoor activity. Subcapsular cataracts were found mainly in the youngest patients and in those who were in Florida the least. Mixed cataracts predominated in the oldest patients, while non-nuclear cataracts were associated most with outdoor activity. Water-insoluble protein was elevated in nuclei of lenses with nuclear opacities. Soluble proteins in the nuclei of nuclear cataracts had increased levels of voided (heavy) protein, beta-crystallins, and less than 20 Kd peptides. The above changes were enhanced in brunescent cataracts. In lenses with cortical opacities, only increased size heterogeneity in the beta-crystallin region was observed. The second part of this report is based upon direct measurements of the optical properties of freshly extracted intra-capsular cataracts obtained in Rochester, New York (USA). The purpose was to attempt to learn the relative contributions that absorption, scattering, and fluorescence make toward obscuring vision. A general conclusion is that the shorter wavelengths of radiant energy in environmental lighting influence the above-stated optical properties the most, and thus appear to be the major contributors to obscured vision.</p>","PeriodicalId":17964,"journal":{"name":"Lens and eye toxicity research","volume":"8 2-3","pages":"259-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13070537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
