CC -!- FUNCTION: Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the
CC lens. Acts as a chaperone, preventing aggregation of various proteins
CC under a wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct
CC formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed
CC of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02489}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heteromer composed of three CRYAA and one CRYAB subunits (By
CC similarity). Zinc coordination is achieved at least by His-100, Glu-102
CC and His-107. His-100 and Glu-102 come from the same molecule within the
CC oligomer, while His-107 residue is provided by another molecule (By
CC similarity). Inter-subunit bridging via zinc ions enhances stability,
CC which is crucial as there is no protein turn over in the lens. Can also
CC form homodimers and homotetramers (dimers of dimers) which serve as the
CC building blocks of homooligomers. Part of a complex required for lens
CC intermediate filament formation composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA (By
CC similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02470,
CC 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: Acetylation at Lys-70 may increase chaperone activity.
CC {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}.
