Intermediate filament-Structure-The structure of proteins that form intermediate filaments (IF) was first predicted by computerized analysis of the amino acid sequence of a human epidermal keratin derived from cloned cDNAs. Analysis of a second keratin sequence revealed that the two types of keratins share only about 3... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Structure-Part of the assembly process includes a compaction step, in which ULF tighten and assume a smaller diameter. The reasons for this compaction are not well understood, and IF are routinely observed to have diameters ranging between 6 and 12 nm.
The N-terminus and the C-terminus of IF prote... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Structure-The N-terminal "head domain" binds DNA. Vimentin heads are able to alter nuclear architecture and chromatin distribution, and the liberation of heads by HIV-1 protease may play an important role in HIV-1 associated cytopathogenesis and carcinogenesis. Phosphorylation of the head region c... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Structure-Also, unlike actin or tubulin, intermediate filaments do not contain a binding site for a nucleoside triphosphate.
Cytoplasmic IFs do not undergo treadmilling like microtubules and actin fibers, but are dynamic. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Biomechanical properties-IFs are rather deformable proteins that can be stretched several times their initial length. The key to facilitate this large deformation is due to their hierarchical structure, which facilitates a cascaded activation of deformation mechanisms at different levels of strain... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Types-There are about 70 different human genes coding for various intermediate filament proteins. However, different kinds of IFs share basic characteristics: In general, they are all polymers that measure between 9–11 nm in diameter when fully assembled. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Intermediate filament-Types-Animal IFs are subcategorized into six types based on similarities in amino acid sequence and protein structure: Types I and II – acidic and basic keratins These proteins are the most diverse among IFs and constitute type I (acidic) and type II (basic) IF proteins. The many isoforms are divi... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
