Molecular mechanisms of the regulation of ATPase cycle in striated muscle [PDF]
New data on the molecular mechanism of the regulation of ATPase cycle by troponin-tropomyosin system have been obtained in reconstructed muscle fibers by using the polarized fluorescence technique, which allowed us following the azimuthal movements of ...

Synemin Redefined: Multiple Binding Partners Results in Multifunctionality
Historically synemin has been studied as an intermediate filament protein. However, synemin also binds the type II regulatory (R) subunit α of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein phosphatase type 2A, thus participating in the PKA and phosphoinositide 3 ...

High-resolution three-dimensional views of membrane-associated clathrin and cytoskeleton in critical-point-dried macrophages. [PDF]
We obtained high-resolution topographical information about the distribution of clathrin and cytoskeletal filaments on cytoplasmic membrane surfaces of macrophages spreading onto glass coverslips by both critical-point drying of broken-open cells and ...

Heterodimeric Associations between Neuronal Intermediate Filament Proteins [PDF]
Formation of protein dimers involving alpha-internexin, peripherin, and the neurofilament (NF) proteins NFH, NFM, and NFL was investigated by partial renaturation of various combinations of individually purified subunits in buffered 2 M urea. Oligomers that were formed were resolved by "blue" native electrophoresis (Schägger, H., Cramer, W. A., and von

Hierarchical coexistence of universality and diversity controls robustness and multi-functionality in intermediate filament protein networks [PDF]
Proteins constitute the elementary building blocks of a vast variety of biological materials such as cellular protein networks, spider silk or bone, where they create extremely robust, multi-functional materials by self-organization of structures over ...

Order and disorder in intermediate filament proteins [PDF]
Intermediate filaments (IFs), important components of the cytoskeleton, provide a versatile, tunable network of self‐assembled proteins. IF proteins contain three distinct domains: an α‐helical structured rod domain, flanked by intrinsically disordered head and tail domains.

Distribution, contribution and regulation of nestin+ cells
Background: Nestin is an intermediate filament first reported in neuroepithelial stem cells. Nestin expression could be found in a variety of tissues throughout all systems of the body, especially during tissue development and tissue regeneration ...
