Liu B, Song S, Hanson M, Liang J
Exp Eye Res . 2008 Oct; 87(6):515-20. PMID: 18926820
The human lens crystallin gene CRYGC T5P is associated with Coppock-like cataract and has a phenotype of a dust-like opacity of the fetal lens nucleus and deep cortical region. Previous...

Uriuhara A, Miyata S, Liu B, Miyazaki H, Kusunoki H, Kojima H, et al.
Kobe J Med Sci . 2008 Sep; 53(6):305-15. PMID: 18762725
The formation of methylglyoxal (MG), a reactive dicarbonyl compound, is accelerated under hyperglycemia, presumably contributing to tissue injury in diabetes. On the other hand, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) has been implicated...

Song S, Hanson M, Liu B, Chylack L, Liang J
Mol Vis . 2008 Jul; 14:1282-7. PMID: 18618007
Purpose: The R120G mutation of alphaB-crystallin is known to cause desmin-related myopathy, but the mechanisms underlying the formation of cataract are not clearly established. We hypothesize that alteration of protein-protein...

Liu B, Liang J
J Cell Biochem . 2007 Nov; 104(1):51-8. PMID: 18004741
MIP26/AQP0 is the major lens fiber membrane protein and has been reported to interact with many other lens components including crystallins, lipid, and cytoskeletal proteins. Regarding crystallins, many previous reports...

Liu B, Liang J
FEBS Lett . 2007 Jul; 581(21):3936-42. PMID: 17662718
Human lens beta-crystallin contains four acidic (betaA1-->betaA4) and three basic (betaB1-->betaB3) subunits. They oligomerize in the lens, but it is uncertain which subunits are involved in the oligomerization. We used...

Liu B, Anbarasu K, Liang J
Mol Vis . 2007 Jul; 13:854-61. PMID: 17615546
Purpose: To determine protein-protein interactions among lens crystallins in living cells. Methods: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) microscopy was used to visualize interactions in living cells directly. Two genes, one...

Liang J, Liu B
Protein Sci . 2006 Jun; 15(7):1619-27. PMID: 16751613
Lens alpha-crystallin is an oligomeric protein with a molecular mass of 500-1000 kDa and a polydispersed assembly. It consists of two types of subunits, alphaA and alphaB, each with a...

Oya-Ito T, Liu B, Nagaraj R
J Cell Biochem . 2006 Apr; 99(1):279-91. PMID: 16615138
Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) is a stress-inducible protein in cells that functions as a molecular chaperone and also as an anti-apoptotic protein. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a reactive dicarbonyl compound...

Liu B, Liang J
J Biol Chem . 2005 Dec; 281(5):2624-30. PMID: 16319073
betaB2-crystallin, the major component of beta-crystallin, is a dimer at low concentrations but can form oligomers under physiological conditions. The interaction domains have been speculated to be the beta-sheets, each...

Liu B, Liang J
Mol Vis . 2005 May; 11:321-7. PMID: 15889016
Purpose: Missense mutations in crystallin genes have been identified in autosomal dominant congenital cataracts. A truncation in the CRYBB2 gene (Q155*) has been associated with cerulean cataract, however its effects...
