Fragmentation and Entanglement Limit Vimentin Intermediate Filament Assembly
Physical Review X, 2023 Networks of intermediate filaments (IFs) need to constantly reorganize to fulfil their functions at different locations within the cell. The mechanism of IF assembly is well described and involves filament end-to-end annealing.

Intermediate Filaments on the Move [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2000 In most vertebrate cells, intermediate filaments (IF) form a continuous structural network extending from the nuclear surface to the cell periphery. Their unique viscoelastic properties render them more resistant than either microtubules or microfilaments to deformation and other external ...

Intermediate filament–membrane attachments function synergistically with actin-dependent contacts to regulate intercellular adhesive strength [PDF]
, 2002 By tethering intermediate filaments (IFs) to sites of intercellular adhesion, desmosomes facilitate formation of a supercellular scaffold that imparts mechanical strength to a tissue.

FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Filensin and phakinin are lens fiber cell‐specific proteins that constitute the beaded filaments (BFs) that are critical for maintaining lens transparency. In the Shumiya cataract rat, filensin 94 kDa undergoes N‐ and C‐terminal proteolytic processing to

Involvement of the lamin rod domain in heterotypic lamin interactions important for nuclear organization [PDF]
, 2001 The nuclear lamina is a meshwork of intermediate-type filament proteins (lamins) that lines the inner nuclear membrane. The lamina is proposed to be an important determinant of nuclear structure, but there has been little direct testing of this idea.

The Biological Role of Nestin(+)-Cells in Physiological and Pathological Cardiovascular Remodeling
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 The intermediate filament protein nestin was identified in diverse populations of cells implicated in cardiovascular remodeling. Cardiac resident neural progenitor/stem cells constitutively express nestin and following an ischemic insult migrate to the ...

The Diversity of Intermediate Filaments in Astrocytes [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Despite the remarkable complexity of the individual neuron and of neuronal circuits, it has been clear for quite a while that, in order to understand the functioning of the brain, the contribution of other cell types in the brain have to be accounted for. Among glial cells, astrocytes have multiple roles in orchestrating neuronal functions.

Phosphorylation by Cdk1 induces Plk1-mediated vimentin phosphorylation during mitosis [PDF]
, 2005 Several kinases phosphorylate vimentin, the most common intermediate filament protein, in mitosis. Aurora-B and Rho-kinase regulate vimentin filament separation through the cleavage furrow-specific vimentin phosphorylation.
