Intermediate Filament Protein Partnership in Astrocytes [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Intermediate filaments are general constituents of the cytoskeleton. The function of these structures and the requirement for different types of intermediate filament proteins by individual cells are only partly understood. Here we have addressed the role of specific intermediate filament protein partnerships in the formation of intermediate filaments ...

The Structural Biology of Septins and Their Filaments: An Update
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 In order to fully understand any complex biochemical system from a mechanistic point of view, it is necessary to have access to the three-dimensional structures of the molecular components involved. Septins and their oligomers, filaments and higher-order

Thick filament‐associated myosin undergoes frequent replacement at the tip of the thick filament
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Myosin plays a fundamental role in muscle contraction. Approximately 300 myosins form a bipolar thick filament, in which myosin is continuously replaced by protein turnover.

The force of the myosin motor sets cooperativity in thin filament activation of skeletal muscles
Communications Biology, 2022 Sarcomeres of Ca2 + -activated demembranated fibres of rabbit soleus muscles show that the stress exerted by each motor protein on the thin filament determines the cooperativity in thin filament activation.
