Pathogenic mechanism of congenital cataract caused by the CRYBA1/A3-G91del variant and related intervention strategies

Jingjie Xu et al.

Summary: The G91del variant of the CRYBA1/BA3 gene compromises protein solubility and stability, making it prone to proteolysis and aggregation under stress, ultimately leading to cellular apoptosis. Additionally, this mutation impairs the ability of beta A3 to form homo-oligomers, indicating its role in the pathogenic mechanism of congenital cataracts.

Cataract-causing mutations L45P and Y46D impair the thermal stability of γC-crystallin

Chenxi Fu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the thermal stability of gamma C-crystallin mutants and found that L45P and Y46D mutations impaired the stability. However, alpha A-crystallin could rescue the thermal stability of these mutants to some extent.

beta B2 W151R mutant is prone to degradation, aggregation and exposes the hydrophobic side chains in the fourth Greek Key motif

Jingjie Xu et al.

Summary: Congenital cataract is a major cause of blindness in children globally. A novel beta B2 mutation W151R was found to be prone to aggregation due to low solubility and poor structural stability, but the negative effect of the mutation was reversed by administration of lanosterol.
