additional information
-
small heat shock protein, alphaA-crystallin, functions as a molecular chaperone, and enhances thermal stability of both delta-crystallin and ASL. Thermal unfolding of delta-crystallin or ASL in the presence of alphaA-crystallin follows a similar three-state model. A stable intermediate which retains about 30% alpha-helical structure is observed. Protection from thermal denaturation by alphaA-crystallin is by interaction with partly unfolded ASL to form high molecular weight heteroligomers. Aggregate formation of ASL is significantly reduced in the presence of alphaA-crystallin. The extent of protection of ASL at different ratios of alpahA-crystallin is described by hyperbolic curves, suggesting the preferential recognition of partly unfolded ASL by alphaA-crystallin
