Abstract excerpt
The carboxyl terminal "tail" domains of the heavy and middle molecular weight mammalian neurofilament (NF) proteins regulate inter-NF spacing and formation of organized networks. The C-terminal region of the larger of the two lamprey NF subunits (NF-180) resembles these mammalian proteins in that it consists of a proximal glutamate-rich region and a distal region containing multiple phosphorylation sites. To...
