2022, International ImmunopharmacologyCooperative roles of PAK1 and filamin A in regulation of vimentin assembly and cell extension formation
2020, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Cell ResearchCitation Excerpt :For cells of mesenchymal origin, vimentin is the most abundant intermediate filament protein and the assembly of these filaments is a dynamic and complex process that is important for the generation of cell extensions [2] and cell adhesions [3]. The mechanism of vimentin filament assembly has been described [4]. Vimentin monomers are coupled into coiled-coil dimers.
Assembly Kinetics of Vimentin Tetramers to Unit-Length Filaments: A Stopped-Flow Study
2018, Biophysical JournalCitation Excerpt :This procedure yields results for time points from two seconds onward (13). It clearly documented that ULFs exist abundantly at this time together with complexes of the same length but with smaller diameters (7,10,14). Second, STEM mass measurements of IFs revealed three major types of subsegments along individual filaments differing by one octameric unit each, with values close to four, five, and six octamers per filament cross section.
Intermediate filament structure in fully differentiated (oxidised) trichocyte keratin
2017, Journal of Structural BiologyCitation Excerpt :There is also abundant evidence that the α-helical coiled-coil ropes reside in the IF (see, for example, Crewther et al., 1965; Fraser et al, 1972). Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the processes involved in the assembly of intermediate filaments (see, for example, Herrmann and Aebi, 1998, 2000, 2016). In keratins the molecules are heterodimers (Parry and Steinert, 1995) and a number of attempts have been made to construct a model for their spatial arrangement in the fully differentiated (oxidised) trichocyte keratin IF, based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction studies at various stages of development (Fraser and MacRae, 1971; Fraser et al, 1976), and cross-linking (Wang et al, 2000: Fraser and Parry, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2014, 2017).
