Intermediate filaments take the heat as stress proteins

Abstract

Intermediate filament (IF) proteins and heat shock proteins (HSPs) are large multi-membered families that share several features. These features include protein abundance, significant up-regulation in response to a variety of stresses, function as cytoprotectors, and the phenocopying of several human diseases upon IF protein or HSP mutation. We are now coming to understand that these common elements point to IFs as important cellular stress proteins with some roles akin to those already well-characterized for HSPs. Unique functional roles for IFs include protection from mechanical stress while HSPs are characteristically involved in protein folding and as chaperones. Shared IF and HSP cytoprotective roles include inhibition of apoptosis, organelle homeostasis, and scaffolding. We review here recent data that corroborate the view that IFs function as highly-specialized cytoskeletal stress proteins that promote cellular organization and homeostasis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
