Connecting the plasma membrane to the nucleus by intermediate filaments
Toward a better characterization of IF networks The IF gene superfamily encodes >50 different proteins that assemble into distinct, nonpolar supramolecular structures in the cytoplasm and the nucleus (Herrmann and Aebi, 2016). The composition of the IF network varies not only among cell types but also during cell differentiation and pathological conditions such as cancer development. Shedding f...
متن کاملIntermediate filaments
Intermediate filaments form a class of insoluble cytoplasmic filaments ofdimensions intermediate in size between those of microtubules (about 25 nm in diameter) and microfilaments (about 7 nm in diameter). Thus, they are generally known as intermediate-sized filaments (IF)' or 10-nm filaments. They have been identified in virtually all differentiated types ofcells and it seems possible that IF-...
متن کاملIntermediate Filaments on the Move
In most vertebrate cells, intermediate filaments (IF) 1 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 physical stresses. Through a growing family of associated proteins (IFAPs), IF are now known to be connec...

285 1600, and 2400. Student's t test was used to compare growth hormone concentrations before and during treatment. The table shows mean circulating concentrations of growth hormone before and on the third day of treatment. Concentrations ranged from 32-5 to 234 mIU/l before treatment but were suppressed by 30-79% by the third day of treatment (p<0-001). The maximal reduction in growth hormone ...
متن کاملNeuronal intermediate filaments.
Neurofilaments (NFs) are the most abundant structural components in large-diameter myelinated axons. Assembled as obligate heteropolymers requiring NF-L and substoichiometric amounts of NF-M and/or NF-H, NF investment into axons is essential for establishment of axonal caliber, itself a key determinant of conduction velocity. Use of transgenic mice to increase axonal accumulation of NFs or to e...
