Summary
CRYBA1 (crystallin beta A1, HGNC:2394) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q11.2, encoding Beta-crystallin A3 (P05813). Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
Crystallins are separated into two classes: taxon-specific, or enzyme, and ubiquitous. The latter class constitutes the major proteins of vertebrate eye lens and maintains the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Since lens central fiber cells lose their nuclei during development, these crystallins are made and then retained throughout life, making them extremely stable proteins. Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families; beta and gamma crystallins are also considered as a superfamily. Alpha and beta families are further divided into acidic and basic groups. Seven protein regions exist in crystallins: four homologous motifs, a connecting peptide, and N- and C-terminal extensions. Beta-crystallins, the most heterogeneous, differ by the presence of the C-terminal extension (present in the basic group, none in the acidic group). Beta-crystallins form aggregates of different sizes and are able to self-associate to form dimers or to form heterodimers with other beta-crystallins. This gene, a beta acidic group member, encodes two proteins (crystallin, beta A3 and crystallin, beta A1) from a single mRNA, the latter protein is 17 aa shorter than crystallin, beta A3 and is generated by use of an alternate translation initiation site. Deletion of exons 3 and 4 causes the autosomal dominant disease ‘zonular cataract with sutural opacities’.

Function. Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
Subunit / interactions. Homo/heterodimer, or complexes of higher-order. The structure of beta-crystallin oligomers seems to be stabilized through interactions between the N-terminal arms. Interacts with CRYBA1.
Post-translational modifications. Specific cleavages in the N-terminal arm occur during lens maturation and give rise to several truncated forms. Cleavages do not seem to have adverse effects on solubility. S-methylation and glutathionylation occur in normal young lenses and do not seem to be detrimental.
Disease relevance. Cataract 10, multiple types (CTRCT10) [MIM:600881] An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. CTRCT10 includes congenital zonular with sutural opacities, among others. This is a form of zonular cataract with an erect Y-shaped anterior and an inverted Y-shaped posterior sutural opacities. Zonular or lamellar cataracts are opacities, broad or narrow, usually consisting of powdery white dots affecting only certain layers or zones between the cortex and nucleus of an otherwise clear lens. The opacity may be so dense as to render the entire central region of the lens completely opaque, or so translucent that vision is hardly if at all impeded. Zonular cataracts generally do not involve the embryonic nucleus, though sometimes they involve the fetal nucleus. Usually sharply separated from a clear cortex outside them, they may have projections from their outer edges known as riders or spokes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Has a two-domain beta-structure, folded into four very similar Greek key motifs.
Similarity. Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
