Intermediate Filaments: Vimentin Moves in
Vimentin intermediate filaments move bi-directionally along microtubules in the cell. Recent work has identified the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein as the missing inward-directed motor that drives this movement.
متن کاملExpression of Keratin and Vimentin Intermediate Filaments
Rabbit bladder epithelium, grown on collagen gels and exposed to the chemical carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, produced nontumorigenic altered foci as well as tumorigenic epithelial cell lines during 120-180d in culture. Immunofluorescence studies revealed extensive keratin filaments in both primary epithelial cells and benzo[a]pyrene-induced altered epithelial foci but showed no detectable vimentin ...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin M autoantibody to vimentin intermediate filaments.
Serum from a patient with the CREST Syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus contained an IgM antibody that reacted at dilutions up to 1:800 with a fibrous cytoplasmic network in several epithelioid and fibroblastic cell lines. The antibody was shown by immunofluorescence microscopy to label a specific subset of cytoskeletal polymers, the intermediate filaments. The reactive antigen from this ...
متن کاملMicrotubule-dependent transport and dynamics of vimentin intermediate filaments
We studied two aspects of vimentin intermediate filament dynamics-transport of filaments and subunit exchange. We observed transport of long filaments in the periphery of cells using live-cell structured illumination microscopy. We studied filament transport elsewhere in cells using a photoconvertible-vimentin probe and total internal reflection microscopy. We found that filaments were rapidly ...
متن کاملAssociation of vimentin intermediate filaments with the centrosome.
SW-13 cells that lack cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IFs) were stably transfected with a human vimentin cDNA expression vector. Isolated subclones displayed two prevalent patterns of vimentin distribution as observed by indirect immuno-localization: (1) cytoplasmic filaments characteristic of a vimentin IF network; and (2) a distinct, juxtanuclear focus with limited filamentous extensions....
