Plasticin, a type III neuronal intermediate filament protein, assembles as an obligate heteropolymer: implications for axonal flexibility.

Journal of neurochemistry - 1 Oct 2000

Asch W S, Schechter N

Abstract excerpt

The assembly characteristics of the neuronal intermediate filament protein plasticin were studied in SW13 cells in the presence and absence of a cytoplasmic filament network. Full-length plasticin cannot polymerize into homopolymers in filament-less SW13c1.2Vim(-) cells but efficiently coassembles with vimentin in SW13c1.1Vim(-) cells. By cotransfecting plasticin and vimentin in SW13c1.1Vim(-) cells, we show that...
