Abstract excerpt
Intermediate filaments are abundant cytoskeletal components whose specific cellular functions are poorly understood. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein MDM1 displays structure and solubility properties that are similar to those of intermediate filament proteins of animal cells. Yeast cells that have a mutant form of MDM1 exhibit temperature-sensitive growth and defective transfer of nuclei and mitochondria to...
