Table 8. Post-translational modifications identified in HMW and WI proteins of cataractous lenses
Identification of post-translational modifications in HMW and WI proteins of cataractous lenses. The 2D gel electrophoretically separated protein spots of WS-HMW proteins (Figure 5B) and WI proteins (Figure 7) from cataractous lenses were examined using the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric method. The oxidation or deamidation of specific residues in tryptic fragments was identified based on the changes in the mass of the fragments.
