Figure 1 Scheme depicting the role of methionine sulfoxide reductase A and α-crystallin in methionine metabolism. Note the reversible nature of oxidation-reduction of methionine and its influence on the chaperone properties of α-crystallin. The inhibition of the apoptotic events from oxidative stress by αB crystallin is also presented in the figure. ROS: Reactive oxygen species.
