Crowding in the Eye Lens: Modeling the Multisubunit Protein β-Crystallin with a Colloidal Approach.

ABSTRACT: We present a multiscale characterization of aqueous solutions of the bovine eye lens protein βH crystallin from dilute conditions up to dynamical arrest, combining dynamic light scattering, small-angle x-ray scattering, tracer-based microrheology, and neutron spin echo spectroscopy. We obtain a comprehensive explanation of the observed experimental signatures from a model of polydisperse hard spheres with additional weak attraction. In particular, the model predictions quantitatively describe the multiscale dynamical results from microscopic nanometer cage diffusion over mesoscopic micrometer gradient diffusion up to macroscopic viscosity. Based on a comparative discussion with results from other crystallin proteins, we suggest an interesting common pathway for dynamical arrest in all crystallin proteins, with potential implications for the understanding of crowding effects in the eye lens.
