Background: AlphaA Crystallin/CRYAA
AlphaA Crystallin (CRYAA, also known as Crystallin alpha-A chain and HspB4) is a 21‑22 kDa member of the HSP20 family of proteins. It is found in lens epithelium where it noncovalently oligomerizes with CRY-alpha B to generate a transparent 350‑1000 kDa alpha-Crystallin protein complex. Human CRYAA is 173 amino acids (aa) in length. There is a alpha-Crystallin Hsp domain over aa 63‑145. Multiple posttranslational modifications may exist. The C-terminal Ser and the N-terminal MetAspVal is occasionally cleaved. There is also phosphorylation at Ser45 and 122, O-linked GlcNAc modification at Ser162, deamidation at Asn101, and acetylation at Lys70. Full‑length human CRYAA is 54% aa identical to CRY-AlphaB, and 95% aa identical to mouse CRYAA.
