  • Title: Microbial βγ-crystallins.
    Author: Mishra A, Krishnan B, Srivastava SS, Sharma Y.
    Journal: Prog Biophys Mol Biol; 2014 Jul; 115(1):42-51. PubMed ID: 24594023.
    Abstract:
    βγ-Crystallins have emerged as a superfamily of structurally homologous proteins with representatives across the domains of life. A major portion of this superfamily is constituted by members from microorganisms. This superfamily has also been recognized as a novel group of Ca(2+)-binding proteins with huge diversity. The βγ domain shows variable properties in Ca(2+) binding, stability and association with other domains. The various members present a series of evolutionary adaptations culminating in great diversity in properties and functions. Most of the predicted βγ-crystallins are yet to be characterized experimentally. In this review, we outline the distinctive features of microbial βγ-crystallins and their position in the βγ-crystallin superfamily.
