This study clearly demonstrates that extension of the C-terminus of αA-mini-chaperone (Δ87 88), via fusion of the αA-crystallin C-terminal residues EEKPTSAPSS, does not diminish the chaperone-like activity of the mini-chaperone toward client proteins ADH, CS, and LA, whereas a decrease in the length of the fusion peptide affects the chaperone activity.
