Abstract excerpt
The plakin family of cytolinkers interacts with intermediate filaments (IFs) through plakin repeat domain (PRD) and linker modules. Recent structure/function studies have established the molecular basis of envoplakin-PRD and periplakin-linker interactions with vimentin. Both plakin modules share a broad basic groove which recognizes acidic rod elements on IFs, a mechanism that is applicable to other plakin family...
