Human Crystallin, beta B2 (CRYbB2) interaction partners

1. CRYB2 cataract-associating mutations S31W and R145W destabilize CRYB2 and promote thermal aggregation.The number of Trp fluorophores in CRYB2 is evolutionarily optimized to exquisitely perform their structural roles in the lens.

2. Here we identify the first Taiwanese cerulean cataract family carrying a CRYBB2_Q155X mutation.

3. We examined a cohort of Chinese patients with congenital cataracts and studied the phenotypes and genotypes. Extralenticular abnormalities, such as microcornea and ocular coloboma, can also be found in patients with congenital cataracts. The phenotype of congenital cataracts associated with macular and optic disc coloboma was reported for the first time in this study.

4. conserved Trp residues might play a more crucial role in the correct folding and structural integrity of beta-crystallin domains than in gamma-crystallins

5. The first pregnancy was terminated in week 22. Copy number variation analysis revealed, in both the aborted fetus and the mother, a 495 kb duplication at 22q11.23 encompassing CRYBB3 and CRYBB2

6. Study demonstrates that, in solution, human betaB2-crystallin is not domain swapped and exhibits a face-en-face dimer structure similar to the crystal structure of truncated betaB1-crystallin.

7. This is the first study to analyze the association between genetic variations in the CRYBB2 gene with PCa. rs9608380, associated with Prostate cancer, is a potentially functional variant

8. Congenital cataracts were caused by the de novo gene conversion event in CRYBB2 in a consanguineous Jewish Ashkenazi family.

9. missense mutation in CRYBB2 gene leads to progressive congenital membranous cataract by impacting the solubility and function of betaB2-crystallin

10. The distinct behaviors of the mutants suggested that the residue at position 188 might play a regulatory role in betaB2-crystallin aggregation/fibrillization but not reside in the core of the aggregates/fibrils.

11. The last strand at the C-terminus of CRYBB2 is important for the protein stability and assembly.

12. Identification of the first CRYBB2 mutation in an Italian family causing a clinical picture of autosomal dominant congenital cataract.

13. The congenital cataract-linked A2V mutation impairs tetramer formation and promotes aggregation of betaB2-crystallin.

14. A novel missense mutation, p.Arg188His, in CRYBB2 is associated with congenital cataract in a family of Croatian origin.

15. The Asp residue at position 4 of betaB2-crystallin in the lenses of the aged human eye lenses undergoes a significant degree of inversion and isomerization to the biologically D-beta-Asp.

16. analysis of a novel CRYBB2 gene mutation, resulting in the amino substitution p. A2V in a Chinese family with posterior subcapsular congenital cataracts

17. Analyses of 20 Chinese families with hereditary nuclear congenital cataract revealed 3 novel mutations. Two of these mutations (V146M and I21N) affected betaB2-crystallin (CRYBB2). One mutation (R233H) was detected in betaB1-crystallin (CRYBB1).

18. a novel cataract-causing mutation, c.92C>G in exon 2 of the CRYBB2 gene, which causes the 31st residue serine substituted by tryptophan (S31W), was identified in an autosomal dominant coronary cataract family.

19. Two new mutations, one in GJA3 and the other in CRYBB2, were identified co-segregating along with the respective cataract phenotype within the families that were not seen in healthy controls from India or Germany.

20. Variant alleles of the CRYBB1 and CRYBB2 genes were found, none are considered pathogenic.

Mouse (Murine) Crystallin, beta B2 (CRYbB2) interaction partners

1. mutated Crybb2 is implicated in the development of schizophrenia.

2. Tmsb4X was up-regulated in Crybb2 mutant brain. Additionally, Tmsb4X was co-expressed with Crybb2 at actin-enriched cell ruffles. Over-expression of Tmsb4X in cultured hippocampal neurons inhibited dendritogenesis, which phenocopied Crybb2 knock-down.

3. In conclusion, CRYBB2 regulates expression of different lncRNAs to influence ovary development

4. ovaries from female Crybb2(-/-) mice exhibited significantly reduced numbers of primordial, secondary and pre-ovulatory follicles when compared with WT mice, while the rate of atretic follicles was also increased

5. BetaB2-crystallin has a role in hippocampal function and behavioral phenotypes.

6. The reduced fertility of Crybb2 knockout male mice may result from the disordered proliferation and apoptosis of germ cells in the testis, possibly due to reduced CaMKIV from the loss of Crybb2.

7. Removal of both amino- and carboxyl-terminal extensions of recombinant crystallin beta B2 increases the entropy and enthalpy of dimer binding but to a lesser degree than occurs in truncated recombinant beta A3 crystallin.

8. Thus, some of the fiber differentiation processes are likely mediated by RTK-dependent but Ras-independent pathways.

9. betaB2-crystallin is expressed in developing and mature sperm and mice of both sexes harboring the Philly mutation in the betaB2-crystallin gene are subfertile when analyzed on a Swiss Webster genetic background.

10. presence of measurable interactions between MIP26 and all crystallins, with the extent of interactions decreasing from alphaA- and alphaB-crystallin to betaB2- and gammaC-crystallin.

11. These results confirm the third allele of Crybb2 in the mouse that also affected exon 6 and the fourth Greek key motif. Moreover, expression analysis of Crybb2 identified for the first time distinct regions of expression in the brain.

12. BetaB2-crystallin is not essential for the normal development of a transparent lens in the mouse. It plays an increasingly important role in maintaining the transparency of the lens after birth.
