Solutions of the bovine lens protein gamma B (or gamma II) crystallin at neutral pH in the absence of reducing agents, undergo a slow, partial conversion to a new protein species, gamma IIH. This species is an aggregate composed of an intermolecular, disulfide-crosslinked dimer (approximately equal to 32% of total protein by weight) and loosely associated dimers (approximately equal to 66%). gamma IIH has a phase separation temperature (Tph), at least 40 degrees C higher than that of native gamma II crystallin at any given protein concentration. In this paper we demonstrate that pantethine, a derivative of coenzyme A, inhibits the formation of gamma IIH.
