Keratin expression in human tissues and neoplasms Keratin filaments constitute type I and
type II intermediate filaments (IFs), with at least 20 subtypes named keratin 1–20. Since …

Dynamic remodeling of cytoskeleton architecture is necessary for axonal growth and
guidance, signal transduction and other fundamental aspects of neuron function. Protein …

During adipose conversion of murine 3T3-Ll cells, the arrangement of vimentin intermediate
filaments (IFS) changes from an extended fibrillar state to a complex cage formation tightly …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are a key component of the cytoskeleton in virtually all vertebrate
cells, including those of the lens of the eye. IFs help integrate individual cells into their …

The expression of peripherin, an intermediate filament protein, had been shown by
biochemical methods to be localized in the neurons of the PNS. Using immunohistochemical …

We examined regions of human lamins A and C involved in binding to surfaces of mitotic
chromosomes. An Escherichia coli expression system was used to produce full‐length lamin …

Type I and type II keratins form obligatory heterodimers, which self-assemble into 10-nm
intermediate filaments (IFs). Like all IF proteins, they have a central alpha-helical rod …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on intermediate-filament (IF)-protein family and
describes the role intermediate filaments play within cells and tissues. IFs are composed of …

The cytoskeleton of all cells is a three‐dimensional network comprising actin microfilaments,
tubulin microtubules and intermediate filaments. Studies in many cell types have indicated …

The association and interaction of plectin (Mr 300,000) with intermediate filaments and
filament subunit proteins were studied. Immunoelectron microscopy of whole mount …
