Figure 1A. MsrA repairs α-crystallin oxidized by HOCl in vitro.
Colloidal blue staining of SDS-PAGE of α-crystallin (5 μg) following CNBr cleavage. Lane 1 – untreated α-crystallin cleaved with CNBr. Lane 2 – oxidized α-crystallin (800 μg oxidized with 1.2 mM HOCl) cleaved with CNBr. Lane 3 - oxidized α-crystallin incubated with MsrA (1.2 mM) and DTT (5 mM) for 1 hr at 37 °C and cleaved with CNBr. Lane 4 - Total α-crystallin standard.
Figure 1B. DTT alone has no effect on HOCl-induced oxidation of α-crystallin.
Colloidal blue staining of SDS-PAGE of α-crystallin (5 μg) following CNBr cleavage. Lane 1 – untreated α-crystallin cleaved with CNBr. Lane 2 – oxidized α-crystallin (800 μg oxidized with 1.2 mM HOCl) cleaved with CNBr. Lane 3 - oxidized α-crystallin incubated with DTT (5 mM) alone for 1 hr at 37 °C and cleaved with CNBr.
