- W1995771845 abstract "Lengsin (LGS) is an abundant transcript in the human lens, encoding a predicted polypeptide similar to glutamine synthetase (GS). We show that a major alternatively spliced product of LGS codes for a 57kDa polypeptide that assembles into a catalytically inactive dodecamer, cross-reacts with anti-GS antibodies, and is expressed at high levels in transparent, but not cataractous, human lenses. Based on this characteristic oligomeric organization, preferential expression in the transparent lens, and amyloid-beta association previously reported for GS, a potential chaperone-like role of LGS has been investigated. We find that LGS has six binding sites for the hydrophobic surface probe bis-ANS and relieves cellular toxicity caused by amyloid-beta expression in a folding-impaired yeast mutant. While documenting the structural similarity between LGS and prokaryotic GS-I, the data rule out any involvement of lengsin in glutamine biosynthesis and suggest an unrelated role that may be important for lens homeostasis and transparency." @default.
