    Abstract The aggregation of β-crystallins in the human eye lens constitutes a critical step during the development of cataract. We anticipated that the presence of Aggregation-Prone Regions (APRs) in their primary structure, which might be responsible for conformational change required for the self-assembly. To examine the presence of APRs, we systematically analyzed the primary structures of β-crystallins. Out of seven subtypes, the βB1-crystallin found to possess the highest aggregation score with 9 APRs in its primary structure. To confirm the amyloidogenic nature of these newly identified APRs, we further studied the aggregation behavior of one of the APRs spanning from 174 to 180 residues (

    Abstract The aggregation of β-crystallins in the human eye lens constitutes a critical step during the development of cataract. We anticipated that the presence of Aggregation-Prone Regions (APRs) in their primary structure, which might be responsible for conformational change required for the self-assembly. To examine the presence of APRs, we systematically analyzed the primary structures of β-crystallins. Out of seven subtypes, the βB1-crystallin found to possess the highest aggregation score with 9 APRs in its primary structure. To confirm the amyloidogenic nature of these newly identified APRs, we further studied the aggregation behavior of one of the APRs spanning from 174 to 180 residues (¹⁷⁴LWVYGFS¹⁸⁰) of βB1-crystallin, which is referred as βB1₍₁₇₄₋₁₈₀₎. Under in vitro conditions, the synthetic analogue of βB1₍₁₇₄₋₁₈₀₎ peptide formed visible aggregates and displayed high Congo red (CR) bathochromic shift, Thioflavin T (ThT) binding and fibrilar morphology under transmission electron microscopy, which are the typical characteristics of amyloids. Further, the aggregated βB1₍₁₇₄₋₁₈₀₎ was found to induce aggregation of the soluble fraction of proteins isolated from the human cataractous lens. This observation suggests that the presence of APRs in βB1-crystallin might be serving as one of the intrinsic supplementary factors responsible for constitutive aggregation behavior of βB1-crystallin and development of cataract.
