Biochim Biophys Acta . 1992 Oct; 1180(1):44-52. PMID: 1390943
A congenital cataract present in guinea pigs provided a unique opportunity to study a hereditary lens disease at the molecular level. zeta-Crystallin, one of the most abundant guinea pig lens...

Alemany J, Klement J, Borras T, De Pablo F
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 1992 Mar; 183(2):659-65. PMID: 1550573
Transcription of the delta 1-crystallin gene is developmentally regulated in the embryonic chicken lens. Previous work defined a positive transcription regulatory element between positions -120 and -43 of the delta...

Exp Eye Res . 1990 Jun; 50(6):729-35. PMID: 1695576
Zeta-Crystallin, a major component of the guinea-pig lens proteins, is distantly related to the enzymes of the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family (ADH). Analysis of the structural similarities between zeta-crystallin and...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1990 May; 87(9):3353-7. PMID: 2185466
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and insulin regulate expression of the endogenous delta 1-crystallin gene in embryonic lens cells that express receptors for both peptides. To further analyze the transcriptional...

Borras T, Persson B, Jornvall H
Biochemistry . 1989 Jul; 28(15):6133-9. PMID: 2675963
zeta-Crystallin of guinea pig lens is distantly related to the family of zinc-containing alcohol/polyol dehydrogenases. The amino acid residues binding the catalytic zinc atom in the alcohol dehydrogenase are exchanged...

SULLIVAN C, Norman J, Borras T, GRAINGER R
Mol Cell Biol . 1989 Jul; 9(7):3132-5. PMID: 2779557
Sequences in the two delta-crystallin genes become hypomethylated when they are expressed in the chick lens. This system is particularly advantageous for studying temporal changes in hypomethylation, since lens tissue...

Rodokanaki A, Holmes R, Borras T
Gene . 1989 May; 78(2):215-24. PMID: 2777081
zeta-Crystallin is a major component of the water-soluble proteins of the guinea pig lens. We have constructed a lens cDNA library from one- to seven-day-old guinea pigs in the plasmid...

Borras T, Rodokanaki A
Lens Eye Toxic Res . 1989 Jan; 6(4):795-805. PMID: 2487283
The primary structure of zeta-crystallin, a guinea pig lens specific protein, was obtained by cloning the copy of its mRNA from a 0-1 week old cDNA lens library. The protein...
