CC -!- FUNCTION: Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the
CC lens. In its oxidized form (absence of intramolecular disulfide bond),
CC acts as a chaperone, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a
CC wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct formation of
CC lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1,
CC BFSP2 and CRYAA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heteromer composed of three CRYAA and one CRYAB subunits.
CC Inter-subunit bridging via zinc ions enhances stability, which is
CC crucial as there is no protein turn over in the lens. Can also form
CC homodimers and homotetramers (dimers of dimers) which serve as the
CC building blocks of homooligomers (By similarity). Within homooligomers,
CC the zinc-binding motif is created from residues of 3 different
CC molecules. His-88 and Glu-90 from one molecule are ligands of the zinc
CC ion, and His-95 and His-142 residues from additional molecules complete
CC the site with tetrahedral coordination geometry (By similarity). Part
CC of a complex required for lens intermediate filament formation composed
CC of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA (By similarity).
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02470, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}. Nucleus
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}. Note=Translocates to the nucleus during
CC heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear structures known as SC35 speckles
CC or nuclear splicing speckles. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}.
CC -!- PTM: Undergoes age-dependent proteolytical cleavage at the C-terminus.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
CC {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00285}.
