Lanosterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol dissociate crystallin aggregates isolated from cataractous human lens via different mechanisms

TL;DR: A quantitative assay applicable to efficacy validations and mechanistic studies by a protocol to isolate protein aggregates from the surgically removed cataractous human lens showed that both compounds were effective for human cataracts samples with EC50 values at ten micromolar level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cataract-causing mutation S228P promotes βB1-crystallin aggregation and degradation by separating two interacting loops in C-terminal domain

TL;DR: It is proposed that these two interacting loops play an important role in the folding and structural stability of β/γ-crystallin domains by protecting the hydrophobic core from solvent access.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lanosterol modulates proteostasis via dissolving cytosolic sequestosomes/aggresome-like induced structures

TL;DR: Lanosterol synthase and its enzymatic product lanosterol effectively reduced the number and/or size of sequestosomes/ALIS/aggresomes formed by endogenous proteins in the HeLa and HEK-293A cells cultured under both non-stressed and stressed conditions.
