Transgenic zebrafish models reveal distinct molecular mechanisms for cataract-linked αA-crystallin mutants.

Mutations in the small heat shock proteins α-crystallins have been linked to autosomal dominant cataracts in humans. Extensive studies in vitro have revealed a spectrum of alterations to the structure and function of these proteins including shifts in the size of the oligomer, modulation of subunit...
