Abstract excerpt
We have prepared carboxyl-terminal truncation mutants of the neuronal intermediate filament (IF) protein peripherin and examined the assembly characteristics of these mutant proteins in SW13 cells in the presence and absence of vimentin. In the absence of vimentin, tailless peripherin protein (Per-C424) self-assembles into bundles and clumps as observed by immunofluorescence, whereas a peripherin mutant that is...
