Co-purification

An interaction is inferred from the identification of two or more protein subunits in a purified protein complex, as obtained by classical biochemical fractionation or affinity purification and one or more additional fractionation steps.

Caspase-dependent secondary lens fiber cell disintegration in alphaA-/alphaB-crystallin double-knockout mice.

Morozov V, Wawrousek EF

alphaB-crystallin has been demonstrated, in tissue culture experiments, to be a caspase 3 inhibitor; however, no animal model studies have yet been described. Here, we show that morphological abnormalities in lens secondary fiber cells of alphaA-/alphaB-crystallin gene double knockout (DKO) mice are consistent with, and probably result from, elevated DEVDase and VEIDase activities, corresponding to caspase 3 and caspase 6, ...
