Crystallographic Studies of Intermediate Filament Proteins
2017Intermediate filaments (IFs), together with microtubules and actin microfilaments, are the three main cytoskeletal components in metazoan cells. IFs are formed by a distinct protein family, which is made up of 70 members in humans. Most IF proteins are tissue- or organelle-specific, which includes lamins, the IF proteins of the nucleus.

Evolutionary aspects in intermediate filament proteins
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2015Intermediate filament (IF) proteins, together with tubulins and actins, constitute the majority of cytoskeletal proteins in metazoans. Proteins of the IF family fulfil increasingly diverse functions but share common structural features. Phylogenetic analysis within the metazoan lineage traces back their origin to a common lamin-like ancestor.

Cell Biology International Reports, 1991
Human cells grown in monolayer culture were microinjected with intermediate filament subunit proteins. In fibroblasts with a preexisting vimentin network, injected porcine glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) co-localized with the vimentin network within 24 hours.

A new neuronal intermediate filament protein
Trends in Neurosciences, 1989It would be an understatement to say that the vertebrate nervous system appears complex. The characterization and classification of its components rely, in addition to its gross anatomy, on analyses of the differential expression of cytoskeletal and other cellular structures and products.

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1991
The complex multigene family encoding the structural proteins of the cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IF) covers about 40 members in a mammal. Their cell-type specific differential expression rules have been exploited both in embryology and in differential tumour diagnosis.

Intermediate filament proteins in echinoderm coelomocytes
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2000The presence and organization of intermediate filament (IF) proteins in petaloid coelomocytes from two species of echinoderms, the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droehachiensis and the sea cucumber Cucumaria frondosa, were studied. Two monoclonal antibodies (IFA and Ah6) and one polyclonal antibody (W3-1) that together recognize invertebrate as well as ...

Cytoskeleton | Intermediate Filament Linker Proteins: Plectin and BPAG1
2021Owing to their structural diversity, functional versatility, and broad interaction profiles, intermediate filament linker proteins play a key role in the organization and dynamics of the cytoskeleton. As such they are involved in many fundamental cellular processes and play an important role in human diseases.

Intermediate Filament Protein Structure Determination
2004Publisher Summary X-ray crystallography is one of the few experimental methods that makes possible to study intermediate filament (IF) structure at atomic resolution; however, the prerequisite for a crystallographic analysis is the ability to produce macroscopic, well-ordered crystals.

The Molecular Biology of Intermediate Filament Proteins
1992Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on intermediate-filament (IF)-protein family and describes the role intermediate filaments play within cells and tissues. IFs are composed of proteins that self-assemble into filaments that form complex cytoskeletal networks. These proteins are highly diverse and exhibit cell-type specificity of expression.

Interactions of intermediate filament proteins from wool
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1991Filaments of wool are heteropolymers formed by interaction of type I and type II intermediate filament (IF) proteins. There are four proteins in each of these two classes. Interaction of the reduced wool IF proteins was studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis which showed that complexes between type I and type II proteins were formed in solution at ...
