Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel αB-Crystallin Mutation Associated with Autosomal Dominant Congenital Lamellar Cataract
Yizhi Liu,Xinyu Zhang,Lixia Luo,Mingxing Wu,Rui-Ping Zeng,Gang Cheng,Bin Hu,Bing-Fen Liu,Jack J.-N. Liang,Fu Shang +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that the altered tertiary and/or quaternary structures and the dominant negative effect of D140N mutant alphaB-crystallin underlie the molecular mechanism of cataractogenesis of this pedigree.
Journal Article
Interaction and biophysical properties of human lens Q155* betaB2-crystallin mutant.
Bing-Fen Liu,Jack J-N Liang +1 more
TL;DR: The Q155* mutation in betaB2-crystallin causes changes in biophysical properties that might contribute to cataract formation and is detected in protein-protein interactions.
Journal Article
Protein-protein interactions between lens vimentin and alphaB-crystallin using FRET acceptor photobleaching.
TL;DR: The results show that the R120G αB-crystallin mutant promoted vimentin aggregation through increased protein–protein interaction, which may contribute to the formation of congenital cataract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of C-terminal Truncated αA-crystallins by the Ubiquitin–Proteasome Pathway
Xinyu Zhang,E. Dudek,Bing-Fen Liu,Linlin Ding,Alexandre F. Fernandes,Jack J.-N. Liang,Joseph Horwitz,Allen Taylor,Fu Shang +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lens cells (both lens epithelial cells and lens fiber cells) have a fully functional UPP and that the UPP preferentially degrades damaged or modified proteins, including oxidized, glutathiolated and thermally denatured proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confocal fluorescence microscopy study of interaction between lens MIP26/AQP0 and crystallins in living cells.
Bing-Fen Liu,Jack J.-N. Liang +1 more
TL;DR: All crystallins interact with MIP26, the physiological significance of which may be a reduction in the difference of refractive index between membrane and cytoplasm.
