Evolutionary relationships of the metazoan βγ–crystallins, including that from the marine spongeGeodia cydonium

1997

beta gamma-crystallins are one major component of vertebrate lenses. Here the isolation and characterization of a cDNA, coding for the first beta gamma-crystallin molecule from an invertebrate species, the marine sponge Geodia cydonium, is described. The size of the transcript as determined by Northern blotting was 0.7 kb in length. The deduced amino acid sequence consists of 163 aa residues and comprises four repeated motifs which compose the two domains of the beta gamma-crystallin. Motif 3 contains the characteristic beta gamma-crystallin 'Greek key' motif signature, while in each of the three other repeats, one aa residue is replaced by an aa with the same physico-chemical property. The…
